Seminar by Fabrizio Crisafulli
5 marzo 2025, ore 16:00, Aula E, Ex-vetrerie Sciarra, via dei Volsci 122
Place, Body and Light are the terms on which Fabrizio Crisafulli’s theatrical research is focused; research which calls into question the performative practices, attempting to reclaim the original potency of theatre, and its relevance and effectiveness in contemporary times. Peculiar aspects of his work are the use of light as an autonomous subject of poetic construction, and the “theatre of places” (the assumption of the place as “text” and matrix of the work).
Fabrizio Crisafulli is a theatre director and visual artist. He is the author of performances for which, in addition to directing, he generally creates the space and the lighting project. He also makes installation works. Fabrizio carries out his activity internationally. In 2015 he was awarded an Honorary Degree in Performance Design by the Roskilde University (Denmark).
The most recent monograph dedicated to his work is: N. Tomasevic (ed.), Place, Body, Light. The Theatre of Fabrizio Crisafulli, 2011-2022, Dublin: Artdigiland 2023.
