Futurist Concert: Ho veduto volare. Trittico per Boccioni. Only show
Wednesday April 28th, 7:00 pm, at Fundación Proa’s Auditorium
Entrance free of charge. Limited capacity
In the context of The Universe of Futurism. 1909-1936 exhibition and as part of the related activities designed by Proa to document the reach that Italian Futurism has had in the diverse artistic disciplines, Giancarlo Schiaffini’s concert will explore the impact that Luigi Russolo’s Ruidisimo revolution has had on musical composition.
Inspired by the life and work of artist Umberto Boccioni, Schiffiani composes Ho veduto volare, with vocal works by Silvia Schiavoni. This distinguished composition is a synthesis of diverse languages in dialogue: writing, images, voices and the live performance of both musicians. The images are old photographs, paintings and fragments that reflect the thoughts of the movement-action present in Boccioni’s work.
The Futurist concert Ho veduto volare is the first in a series of events that will take place at Fundación Proa in relation to The Universe of Futurism. 1909-1936 exhibition. From May, Proa will present a programme of Futurist cinema and guided tours of the show conducted by Art specialists.
