“Iyagbon’s Mirror”. In situ creation, ritual and public space


Seminar by Juri Cainero and Beatriz Navarro

13 April 2023, h. 15, Aula E, Via dei Volsci 122

Juri Cainero and Beatriz Navarro, artistic directors of the Onyrikon company, will present their approach to a site-specific theatrical, choreographic and musical creation. The focus will be on their latest show, Iyagbon's Mirror: in this show, realised in collaboration with the Nigerian sculptor Samson Ogiamien, invisible theatre, physical theatre, performance, ritual and procession intertwine along a path that begins with a theft and culminates in a sacrifice.

Onyrikon is an artistic group dedicated to site-specific creation. In its work reality and fantasy merge, the real landscape is used as a scenography for the imaginary. They create immersive performances, where the movement and the position of the audience are considered dramaturgical elements: the audience finds itself inside a 360 degrees scene.
Dance, theatre, music, video and installation are the main elements of interaction with the site and the audience.
The participation and integration of the local community and artistic groups, both amateurs and professionals, is a means of strengthening the impact on the territory and to expand the scale of Onyrikon’s creation.

"Shipwrecked in the globalization of fantasy, we claim that embers are still burning below the ashes of the magical thought".
