direction of team Mad in Europe
The project starts from countless suggestions of communicative acts.
There is a reflection about the “word” and the “language” and what it brings into our lives.
There is a second reflection that begins with a series of meetings organized by the European Commission in which we participated and those started in an attempt to write: “The mind and the body of Europe: a new narrative “.
There is a third suggestion that starts from a great-aunt remained in a mental hospital for 80 years of his life . There is a fourth suggestion is that a surprise pregnancy.
What comes ( and it is our project ) is a pregnant woman crazy. At the European Parliament. She could speak many languages … but now she can only formulate a ” dialect ” international, strange and shapeless . Especiallyshe doesn’t remember absolutely more her native language, her ” Muttersprache “. She refused it and now she doesn’t remember more. Whose fault is it? She will have to go far back to try to get out of the neurosis that has fallen. Fit into awkward legacy: maternal, religious, old-fashioned, which was thought to be rid. It remains to be seen whether she will still find something ( if she will want) or if it’s all lost forever .
BIOGRAPHY
The company Mad in Europe didn’t exist before this project. There are peolple who work togheter in a lot of theatral project but above all they feel they have a common thought and research about the reality and the man. So they accept the proposal of Angela Dematté, who has a mad idea in her head: working about language to work the roots and the shame, for working on contemporary aesthetic, for working on what the “freedom” is today. It is a definition thai is enreached with new shades. What is evident is that Mad in Europe is an effective field for new and deep discoveries on the essence of which we are made. The “Mad” who accept this experiment are: Ilaria Ariemme (costumer and scenographer), Marco Grisa (light designer and technician), Rosanna Dematté (multilingual curator of art exhibitions) and Angela Dematté (actress and playwriter). They are all european citizens.
