Why are we attracted to construction sites so much that we observe them as a pastime? Because they break up the landscape and routine with forms of change. Why simulate a construction site? To free space from its concrete function and make it a witness of change in the landscape and the ordinary, thus reactivating the perception of what surrounds us and the urban landscape to which we are accustomed, but also to establish a Place, to take space and inhabit it. Claudio Larena – actor, performer and craftsman – choreographically simulates a contemporary construction site, not functioning but similar to reality, creating a bridge between the inside and the outside of the Lavanderia a Vapore, between artistic experimentation and the city in continuous transformation.
