HOME: back to the origins

Home is a relational art project addressed to the communities of the Natisone Valleys and the cross-border municipalities of the Karst area, which aims to create a collective work of art through art workshops and experiential seminars. The central figure of the project is Chiara Vigo, byssus weaver, guardian of an ancient knowledge, bearer of a message of reconnection with the sacred dimension of life under the banner of a profound respect for the earth. With this project, kalā teatro intends to put back at the centre a concrete reflection on places and communities.

the world is falling apart. the land is burning. people make war. and we are left alone, isolated, apart from each other. it is necessary to bring people together, and bring them back to the ground. re-imagine our capacity to be in the world. concrete actions are necessary. we need to do things “with our own hands”. to weave, to sew, to work the land, to keep the wood clean, and then walk and observe. together. nobody can save himself alone. a coral chant, a collective movement, a call for arts. we need masters, guides, people to be enchanted with; and masters need to find enchantment themselves, meeting communities, and getting in touch with the anthropology of places, rediscovering ancient works, ancient knowledge. we will attempt a small, gentle revolution, together with simple people, generous people, sensible people; together with trees, rivers, and the wind. we will live together from the early hours of the day until sunset, and all night long, until sunrise. a new beginning.
