Valentina Butera & Maria Fontana ('Shadows')
Peter Bonanno (Live Electronics)
For the occasion of Notte Bianca 2009 Agrigento, Valentina Butera, Maria Fontana and Peter Bonanno will perform in a performance of 'Shadows' and Electronic Music called 'Prosopon'.
The greek "prosopon" designating the mask of the actor gave rise to the term person.
The mask, which makes sense only in the movement, rhythm, and dance in ritual procedures, always plays a role and is therefore not something someone.
If it is so moving entities, gods, spirits or demons and animals related to religion and mythology.
The concept of the person is mediated by the masks that each culture provides and shaped according to the circumstances, is never defined, and above all does not take into account the personality of the subject that the wearer.
The bearer of the mask, stripped of its identity, impersonating being shown on the form chosen.
What the show is therefore a shadow prosopon that will encounter various forms and try to escape to some, impersonificherà the character of others, will be charmed by the temptation to wear them all but end up distorting those appearances in an attempt to regain possession of their identity .
