I confini formali e sistemici possono essere problematici, perché diventano facilmente veicoli normativi atti a polarizzare,
racchiudere e isolare; una tattica che oggi ha una forte valenza politica. In questo intervento discuterò il concetto di ibridità come metodologia per un'arte dal vivo radicalmente transdisciplinare, in grado di mettere da parte i confini corporei e disciplinari del teatro e della performance. L'ibridità sarà discussa come una burrasca, una corrente di 'affect' invisibile e più che reale, che rianima il corpo del performer, attraversa corpi non umani e strumenti tecnologici, sfiora il palcoscenico come se fosse pelle e scuote i limiti fisici e formali del teatro come ossa.

Marco Donnarumma (DE) is an artist, performer, stage director and scholar weaving together contemporary performance, new media art and interactivecomputer music since the early 2000s. He manipulates bodies, creates choreographies, engineers machines and composes sounds, thus combining disciplines, media and emerging technologies into an oneiric, sensual, uncompromising aesthetics. He is internationally acknowledged for solo performances, stage productions and installations that defy genres, and where the body becomes a morphing language to speak critically of ritual, power and technology. His repertoire received numerous acknowledgements, most recently: Autonom Grant 2020-22 by Fonds Darstellende Künste and Berlin Senate Department for Culture and Europe for ΣXHALE; Digital Award at Romaeuropa Festival 2018 for Eingeweide; two awards at the Bains Numériques Biennial 2018, as well as the Award of Distinction (2nd prize) in Sound Art at Prix Ars Electronica 2017 for Corpus Nil; Artist of the Science Year 2018 by the German Federal Ministry of Research and Education for Amygdala.
Donnarumma holds a Ph.D. in performing arts, computing and body theory from Goldsmiths, University of London. In 2020-21 he was a Research Fellow at the Akademiefür Theater und Digitalität, Dortmund. Previously, in 2016-18, he was Research Fellow at Berlin University of the Arts in partnership with the Neurorobotics Research Laboratory. He was funded by European Commission, Goethe-Institut, Berlin Senate, Fonds Darstellende Künste, Rockefeller Foundation, British Council and New Media Scotland. His writings are published by MIT Press, Oxford University Press, Routledge, ACM and Springer.
