TEATRO VEGETALE

/ The project was conceived around the natural architectures of the Orto dei Frutti Dimenticati by Tonino Guerra in Pennabilli, a small village in Emilia-Romagna. The vegetative theatre is designed as a collective experience, ideally for seven people; however, it can also be experienced individually or in small groups. The experience unfolds across two stations: the garden and the washhouse. In the garden, the visitor moves through the orchard, an alternation of rare fruit trees and Tonino Guerra’s historical works. Here they explore the plants accompanied by an ambient soundscape that undergoes musical variations in response to touching selected plants. In the washhouse, visitors stand in front of three basins, one of which hosts a reactive visual projection: the video responds to the ambient soundscape through its movements and, through light touches on the plants in the garden, translates vegetal signals in real time into visual effects that alter the projection, one for each plant.

/ Alongside the installation, a book-manual was produced for the project, documenting and explaining the design process; it presents the installation’s path through both the garden and the washhouse, as well as all the produced contents, including the audio and visual elements assigned to each plant. /Within this environment there is also the herbarium: the medium that conveys the languages of the plants in a more detailed manner. It can be consulted collectively, but also individually.
