eruzione d'arte a Stromboli - temporary works 20 III 05
IL MARTIRIO ... © MARESCA & UTANO 2005Stromboli is known as the island of unexpected developments. Visitors to Stromboli who don't bring with them the permanent expectation of the unexpected once they are there want to leave the island immediately. Surprisingly this can lead to another surprise too, because you never know if the ferry boat will come or not until you see it coming with your own eyes - but wait! - until you step on its board, because it use to happen that you see the ship, it is straight in front of you and you cannot enter it, because of unexpected and rarely explained surprises. Otherwise the permanent expectation for surprises on Stromboli can become a habit for the ones who grow along with it. For those kind of professionals the performance of the young strombolian artists Marialuna Maresca (artstudent in Napoli), Raffaele Maresca and Caterina Utano was an impressively example for a new type of strombolian surprises - the artistic ones. The group's performance on the theme of human being, volcano and art was the crowned end to the official part of the project eruzione d'arte a Stromboli.

Stromboli is known as the island of unexpected developments.

For those kind of professionals the performance of the young strombolian artists Marialuna Maresca (artstudent in Napoli), Raffaele Maresca and Caterina Utano was an impressively example for a new type of strombolian surprises - the artistic ones. The group's performance on the theme of human being, volcano and art was the crowned end to the official part of the project eruzione d'arte a Stromboli.

The performance, lasting about 20 minutes, was a mixture of various artists and expressions too. The group succeeded in the combination between dance, theatre and recitation with modern elements such as video projection and a live DJ. Contently one of the most famous legend of Stromboli, the myth of Saint Bartolo, was performed both, comtempary and inversely. The myth, which took place in 264, the year of mercy, tells the story of Saint Bartolo, who got flayed lively in Armenia. Afterwards he had reached Stromboli in a coffin on sea in the right moment. People there were currently death threatened by an immiment stream of lava. Then Saint Bartolo stopped those catastrophical development with his knife only. Further participants of this partly fluxus like performance were Delfina de Ullo as recitalist and dancer, as well as Antonio de Luca und Cristina del Core.

Thereafter the group of spectators went to Artegianata to consume the bread baked in a traditional manner the day before by the artist Elvira Pirozzi. At her place the pizza feast was celebrated until late at night.
