Ignazio Licata è un fisico teorico, professore presso l’Institute for Basic Research di Palm Harbor, Florida, Usa ed attualmente direttore scientifico dell’ISEM, Institute for Scientific Methodology a Bagheria, Palermo. Ha iniziato lavorando nel campo delle particelle e della cosmologia quantistica. Ha discusso le sue ricerche con teorici del calibro di David Bohm e J. P.Vigier.
Oltre ai numerosi contributi specialistici (www.i-sem.net) ha pubblicato: Osservando la Sfinge. La realtà virtuale della fisica quantistica, Di Renzo, Roma, 2006 e La Logica Aperta della Mente, Codice Edizioni, Torino, 2008 che hanno incontrato un notevole successo di pubblico.
A settembre dell’anno scorso ha ricevuto il Premio “Veneri di Parabita” per l’arte e la scienza che gli ha permesso di aprire un proficuo rapporto col Salento ed in particolare con le ricerche condotte dal gruppo Oistros sul tema del tarantismo.
Un Incontro nella luna piena del 9 aprile specialissimo, dunque, che prenderà le mosse da una domanda: Se tanti percorsi di conoscenza si sono risolti in circoli viziosi, possiamo continuare a pensare entro le gabbie delle discipline come ci hanno insegnato a fare, o è possibile trovare percorsi virtuosi?

In 1934 Luigi Pirandello was awarded with the Nobel Prize for Literature to “For his bold and ingenious revival of dramatic and scenic art”. Celebrated Italian artist Francesco Vezzoli will present a restaging of Così è (se vi pare) or Right You Are (If You Think You Are), the renowned play by Luigi Pirandello in the rotunda of the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum and commissioned byPERFORMA 07. .

Ed ecco, o signori, come parla la verità! Siete contenti?
An extraordinary cast of top-billed actors have responded to Vezzoli’s visionary approach to Pirandello’s jewel of a work, Right You Are (If You Think You Are) that implicates the audience in its examination of celebrity, and that points also to the relativity of truth, the necessity of illusion, and the instability of the human persona: io sono colei che mi si crede.

Written and produced in 1917, 18 june at Teatro Olimpia of Milan, Pirandello’s timeless “Così è (se vi pare)” examines the fundamental ambiguity of truth, and the seductive powers of language in conjuring up a female character who may never fully appear amongst the actors on stage as they obsessively dissect her attributes and identity. Rumor and celebrity mongering become the substitute for a deeply examined life, and Pirandello, as does Vezzoli in his own art, points to these empty vessels as a means of drawing attention to existential and humanist concerns.

In June 1943, Frank Lloyd Wright received a letter from Hilla Rebay, the art advisor to Solomon R. Guggenheim, asking the architect to design a new building to house Guggenheim’s four-year-old Museum of Non-Objective Painting. The project evolved into a complex struggle pitting the architect against his clients, city officials, the art world, and public opinion. Both Guggenheim and Wright would die before the building’s 1959 completion. The resultant achievement, the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, testifies not only to Wright’s architectural genius, but to the adventurous spirit that characterized its founders.

An event where worlds collide. Enter the sensual space, let go and enjoy the spectacular rave of Fuerzabruta. A powerful Argentinian performance group with music score, strobe lighting, nudity (moderate), water (lots), scenes of a poetic, violent and beautiful nature and a whole lot of mess.

A clear plastic roof will appear above you. On top of the plastic is water. Dancers will splash above the surface swim and dance across. Dress casual, bring dancing shoes (high heels are not advisable), you might get wet, you might get dirty: It’s an all-standing rave of a of a show. Brutally Happy.
