Sisters of Hera - Dentro/Fuori

a site-responsive journey in three acts: The Hunt, The Homecoming, and The Feast

Created and curated by
Dorothy Max Prior director
Isobel Smith designer/visual artist
James Foz Foster composer

In collaboration with:
Simon Wilkinson, Circa69 (UK); Yael Karavan, The Karavan Ensemble (Israel/UK); Matthew Blacklock and Marion Duggan, The Ragroof Players (UK); Bruno Humberto (Portugal); Serena Gatti (Italy); The Baron Gilvan (UK)

Pristine white linen on tables grazing in the woods; farm tools that become musical instruments; trees that grow human branches - an interactive medley of music, dance and performance, bringing the outdoors in and the indoors out.

Live performance, sound compositions, video works, and installations celebrate Scompiglio’s dualities: art and nature; architecture and agriculture; the wild and the tamed. The audience is invited to discover magical transformations across the site in The Hunt; and will then, after an Aperitif, be drawn together to experience The Homecoming - an outdoor journey culminating in an indoor feast of sensory experiences.
