Corpi nel paRco - Corpi sul palco® at Teatro Continuo

On the occasion of Milan Art Week, Corpi sul palco®, Teatro Linguaggicreativi and nctm e l’arte are pleased to invite you to an afternoon of performances, Corpi nel paRco, Corpi sul palco® at Teatro Continuo, a project by Gabi Scardi and Andrea Contin.

Corpi nel paRco, Corpi sul Palco® at Teatro Continuo is an initiative conceived by Gabi Scardi and Andrea Contin as a temporary activation of one of the most radical works in Milan’s public space, Teatro Continuo by Alberto Burri.

Conceived in 1973 as a stage machine permanently available for use, and restored in 2015 through the intervention of nctm e l’arte, Teatro Continuo does not establish a frontal relationship nor a hierarchy between stage and audience: it is a space to be crossed, exposed, in constant dialogue with the park and with the visual axis connecting Castello Sforzesco to the Arco della Pace.

The project is grounded in the idea that the stage should not be occupied, but temporarily inhabited; that it should not separate, but create continuity; that it should not constitute a closed performance, but rather a condition of shared presence. For one afternoon, the work will be activated through a sequence of short performative interventions. The actions will unfold in relation to natural light, time, and the flow of visitors, in a condition of permeability between those who act and those who observe. The audience will be free to pause, pass through, approach, or move away. The experience will not be frontal but situated: Teatro Continuo will become a threshold between body and city, between gesture and landscape. Corpi nel paRco thus restores the space to its original function: to be an open platform, activated through use, interpretation, and presence.
