TEMPORA/CONTEMPORA

TEMPORA/CONTEMPORA is an international focus on body language in contemporary performing arts promoted by the Accademia Mediterranea dell’Attore and co-designed with the Polo Biblio-Museale di Lecce. The programme includes performances, shows, installations, guided tours, talks between theatre, dance, poetry, cinema, visual art, in venues that are increasingly open to the international contemporary art scene and to the encounter with the languages and practices of creativity and contemporary arts, the Castromediano Museum in Lecce and the former Palmieri Boarding School. The theme of the body, bodies and identities at the centre of the reflections and performative practices, the expression and symbol of a necessary resistance to the times we are going through and the social and cultural changes taking place. The international and interdisciplinary dimension is the added value of the project, with artists and performers from all over the world.

The focus of TEMPORA/CONTEMPORA offers a multifaceted programme that includes performances, shows, urban incursions, installations and talks, spanning theatre, dance, poetry and visual arts.
