2 _ Spazio Vivaio Locatelli Franco "Il giardino delle metamorfosi" ("The garden of Metamorphoses")

project by Anna Rota Martir and Francesca Caputo

[Concept]

“Thus I disappear, and all that surrounds me is reborn: nothing lasts because everything has to change.”
Inspired by the tragedy of Edipo at Colonus, the Garden of Metamorphoses takes the sacred form of the Vesica Piscis: from the intersection of two circular spaces emerges a central almond-shaped enclosure, both the dwelling and destiny of Oedipus.
The threshold is a dark circle that opens onto the Golden Limbo: a cloud of grasses trembles in the light like golden dust, and the breath becomes anticipation. It is the instant that precedes metamorphosis.
Beyond lies the Forest of the Erinyes, primordial and profound: ancient ferns envelop the space, and nature imposes its archaic law. To cross the circle is to descend into the origin.
In the Forest of the Eumenides, matter grows brighter: vegetables of intense hues reveal a rediscovered order, transfiguring wrath into harmony.
Within the almond-shaped center lies Oedipus, an unmoving axis and symbolic pivot: within him, darkness and light are reconciled.

The garden thus becomes a dreamlike passage between myth and reality, death and rebirth.

Erinni ed Eumenidi: una metamorfosi sonora

with Mizar, jazz-folk ensemble

 

Clarinet, voice and plucked harp strings give life to a sonic journey that becomes a reflection of the garden’s symbolic path.

From the measured rhythms of Balkan tradition to the melancholy of rebetiko and the whispered unfolding of Sephardic melodies, the pieces dissolve and are reborn in a new form.

Just as the Erinyes are transformed into the Eumenides, traditional songs open themselves to improvisation, accompanying visitors on a journey that seeks to convey, note after note, the very experience of transformation.

A few questions to Anna Rota Martir and Francesca Caputo

How did your story begin?
Anna / My story began in a greenhouse, among misted glass panes, the scent of soil and leaves, where time moves to the rhythm of the seasons. I grew up surrounded by plants and flowers, in a family that has been cultivating life since 1906…
