Attraversamenti Multipli / Multiple Crossings is a multidisciplinary festival created by the artistic group Margine Operativo, that investigates the relationships between contemporary performing arts and the present by inserting site-specific shows and performances in urban landscapes and regenerated places.

 

Attraversamenti Multipli is a project that likes to move on the borderlines between different artistic languages and in the areas of proximity between art and life.

Attraversamenti Multipli in the 2024 continues to experiment and research the possibilities of interaction between urban nature and performing arts by tracing a path that revolves around the performativity of bodies in dialogue / connection with natural urban landscapes.

 

 

Attraversamenti Multipli 2024
is conceived and curated by the art company Margine Operativo,
under the artistic direction of Alessandra Ferraro and Pako Graziani.
It is realized with the support of: Ministry of Culture (Italy) – Direzione Generale Spettacolo,
Lazio Region and Roma Capitale – Assessorato alla Cultura.

FRAGILE is the slogan/word that accompanies the route of Attraversamenti Multipli in the 2023 and 2024 editions.

Our planet is fragile: increasingly affected by climate, humanitarian and global emergencies. The universe of performing arts is fragile, exposed to endless precariousness.
FRAGILE >> is “something” to be handled with care, whether it is the planet we live on, ourselves, or the universe of the performing arts.
Fragility, we decline it as a vital symptom, a key to interpret reality, an off-center posture from which to build resilient and unexpected trajectories capable of including and welcoming pluralities, capable of delineating a sustainable and livable planet for all: animals, plants, human beings, cultures, arts.
We are all fragile and interconnected beings through nonlinear relationships.

 

Attraversamenti Multipli 2024, within a project arc that began in 2017, takes place in Toffia (Rieti) and in Rome in the Quadraro district, where it inhabits the urban nature of the Torre del Fiscale Park with performances /site specific/ performative formats in dialogue with the extraordinary urban /natural/archaeological landscape of this green lung of the polycentric metropolis in a green and sustainable perspective

For Attraversamenti Multipli interfacing with public space means inhabiting
“a place capable of offering the possibility of a radical perspective from which to look, to create, to imagine alternatives and new worlds… a space that makes possible and encourages different and ever-changing perspectives, a space in which new ways of seeing reality are discovered, the frontiers of difference.”
(bell hooks)

Attraversamenti Multipli enhances regenerated spaces and places that are protagonists of processes of transformation of the urban fabric through its artistic actions. It places itself in close connection with the context in which it develops by involving local networks and energies in a local/global perspective.

It proposes a multifaceted, multiform and hybrid nature in which different practices of contemporary performing arts have citizenship and dialogue with each other: dance_theatre_music_video_site specific

Traces of the path of Attraversamenti Multipli:

Attraversamenti Multipli is a multidisciplinary festival that questions the relationships between contemporary performing arts and the present by placing shows and performances in urban landscapes and regenerated places.

Attraversamenti Multipli is conceived and realized by the artistic group Margine Operativo.

The first edition took place in 2001 in Rome.

Attraversamenti Multipli for many years has been nomadic, crossing in every edition different places and spaces of the metropolis of Rome: from the subway stations to spaces of industrial archeology, such as Officine Marconi (ex Italcable), from the Universities of Tor Vergata and La Sapienza to the pedestrian islands (Pigneto, S. Lorenzo, Largo Spartaco). Lorenzo, Largo Spartaco and Casal Bertone), from libraries (Biblioteca Goffredo Mameli) to multipurpose spaces such as GGarage Zero, Esc Atelier and Centrale Preneste Teatro, with a predilection for redeveloped and regenerated places that symbolize the transformations of the city.

In 2014 it took place not only in Rome but also in Naples: in the art stations of the subway. In 2017 it inhabited a regenerated space in the historical center of Genoa. In some editions it proposed events in the province of Rome and in the Lazio Region. 
Since 2017 – within a project arc that extends until 2022 – the festival has chosen to “inhabit” with its artistic actions a popular and densely inhabited area of Rome, the Quadraro district and one of its fulcrums: the pedestrian island of Largo Spartaco, a space that the festival had already crossed with some events in previous editions.

During its 22 editions it has been supported by Roma Capitale, Lazio Region and the Province of Rome. In 2021 and 2022 it was supported by the MIC – Ministry of Culture.
The start-up in 2001 took place with a grant from Zone Attive.
In 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007 a cross-disciplinary event of Attraversamenti Multipli – which ran from dusk to dawn – was part of the program of the NOTTE BIANCA of Rome.

In 2014, 2015 and 2016 the project was declared by Roma Capitale “Festival of particular interest for the cultural life of the City 2014-2016”.
In 2014 Attraversamenti Multipli was also held in Naples with the support of the Universal Forum of Cultures and UNESCO. In 2017 Attraversamenti Multipli took place also in Genoa with the support of Compagnia di San Paolo in the context of “ORA! Linguaggi contemporanei Produzioni innovative”. 
In 2016, 2017 and 2019 a part of the festival was intertwined with the project “CONTACT ZONES_performing arts in urban spaces” realized by Margine Operativo and supported by the European Union within the Creative Europe program.

In 2021 the book “ATTRAVERSAMENTI MULTIPLI 2001 – 2020. A journey through the mobile horizons of contemporary performing arts” edited by Alessandra Ferraro and Pako Graziani – published by Editoria & Spettacolo.
