#Polyphony

Simone Carella (1946 -2016), director and personality on the Roman cultural scene, is the protagonist of POLYPHONY, a section of experimental solo shows that adhere to the method of musical improvisation. With the exhibition Io poeto tu, the life and work of Carella are narrated by a chorus of multiple voices, shedding light on the repercussions of his legacy in other practices and generations.

The works created for the occasion by Anna Franceschini, Rä di Martino and Emiliano Maggi are combined with commentaries and archival materials reinterpreted in the form of video by Vega, talks inside the space by Andrea Cortellessa, Francesca Corona and Alessandra Vanzi, Silvia Fanti and Giorgio Barberio Corsetti, Valerio Mattioli, and interviews held with Ulisse Benedetti, Pippo Di Marca, Paolo Grassini, Rossella Or and Fabio Sargentini for the occasion.
