Soon, the whole planet will dance

This video installation has been created in 2022 as an assignment for an exhibition at Metropolitan Museum of Nanchino Museum (China) and it’s part of the exhibition “The gifts of Gods. Apulia Felix in between Greeks, indigenous and Romanian.” (Nanchino 2023)

The idea behind the video is a storytelling about Greek divinities and Apulia with the aim to give a contemporary storytelling in support of the exhibition made with several pieces sent by the 5 Apulian archeological Museums to Nanchino. 

I imagined a story that starts in Greece with Poseidon, the God of the sea, approaching Athena, who transforms the young Aracne in a spider and introducing the suggestion of the “Menadi danzanti” (dancing maenads) that leads us into a contemporary vision of the tarantism in Apulia.
