Luisa Cortesi / Vivido. Trillo. Brillo.

Firenze, Italy

19 - 20 Mar '10

A 3 acts show by Luisa Cortesi, of the duration of 10 minutes each. Each piece act is developed more as a consequence instead of a stylistic consonance. The triptych doesn't have an apparent dramatic structure . The structural uniqueness of the body is declared as dramaturgical by itself. We could simply say that: “Vivido” has a cinematIc allure, “Trillo” has a pictorial-kinetic one and “Brillo" has a sculptural-pop allure.

VIVIDO- TRILLO -BRILLO” tre opere di Luisa Cortesi .I lavori di circa 15 minuti ciascuno sono concepiti piu’ che per consequenzialita’ per assonanza stilistica . Sono tre opere apparentemente prive di drammaturgia dove l’unicita’ strutturale del corpo si dichiara essa stessa drammaturgica. Semplificando potremmo dire che :”vivido” ha un portamento cinematografico, “trillo “ pittorico-cinetico, e “ brillo ” scultoreo –pop.
