Tuesday 28 May, 9pm screening of The Last Lamentation, work by Valentina Medda edited by Maria Paola Zedda.
Following: conversation with the artist

The Last Lamentation is a funeral ritual for the Mediterranean, conceived by the artist as a place of waiting, suspension and passing, embodiment of an absence – a repository of corpses, and a corpse in itself. The opera tells the tragedy of the sea through a hypnotic vocal and choreographic score
which reworks ritual codes in contemporary and abstract forms. The powerful presence of 12 crying women, dressed in black and standing next to the sea, makes the absence of the dead more tangible by contrast and makes their silent voices explode.

Project created thanks to the support of the Italian Council (XI edition, 2022), a program for the international promotion of Italian art of the Directorate General for Contemporary Creativity of the Ministry of Culture, produced and promoted by ZEIT Art Research.
