Topics covered during teaching activities :
- spot risk assessment

THE MAD BANQUET OF ART AS RESILIENCE TO THE NEGATION OF CROWDS
Maravee stages the soul that has founded its recognisability: the linguistic banquet between visual and performing arts, on which it has built the concept of a "Theatre of Art" animated by socially sharable themes. After years dedicated to precise themes identified on sociological and philosophical reflections in the collective daily existence, on the occasion of its twentieth anniversary Maravee raises to object of reflection that concept of cross-border banquet that since 2002 has been identified as an urgency of relationship and creative sharing, necessary to underline the sense of art and to amplify its diffusion.
It does so while still contemplating contemporary society, in which the undoubted existential metamorphosis dictated by the pandemic is being recorded, which has hyperbolised the era of great uncertainties and is dictating the need for a regenerated humanisation of society, as the philosopher and sociologist Edgar Morin, known for his transdisciplinary approach, writes.
The "Mad banquet of art" indicates the will and the ability to overcome limits and boundaries, to generate performances that arise from the poetics of other works, both dedicated to the search for happiness of contemporary man, also involving him in participatory performances.
It is this trespassing that Maravee intends to stage as "Resilience to the denial of crowds", understood as multitudes of people gathered in a place, which art partly contemplates by involving them in the works and partly intends to reach with its pervasiveness.
The non-participation of crowds, the distancing and slowing down of social life are fertile ground for a look back in time, in search of thoughts and works that in their humanistic value preserve indications of new paths in every era. Maravee Folle therefore appeals to Il Convivio and Dante Alighieri's Divine Comedy, which, by uniting the work with the events of life, on the 700th anniversary of his death, reaffirms that he spoke to the whole of humanity, so that it, today as then, can embark on a path of redemption.
Convivio intended as a shared cultural life, which through the metaphor of food is elevated to a "banquet of wisdom", in which a profound contact takes place, stretched between philosophy and love, offered by Dante in the vernacular language, with a popular intent. With the same intent, Maravee will stage as food (Dante's songs) works of prose, dance and music, accompanied by video and photography; and as bread (Dante's commentary on the song) the sets nourished by other works, i.e. the visual language and the curatorial comments as emotional and conceptual suggestions to enjoy the food.
