This is the third episode in the trilogy on the birth and rise of Italian design, in which the Saloni were both promoters and protagonists last year with the theatrical production “Great Hands: Without End” realized with the Piccolo Teatro and the fourth edition of the Triennale Design Museum “Dream Factories”.
The main event at the Saloni 2012 is dedicated to the men, the companies and, in particular, to the hundreds of objects that laid the ground for the Italian design system and its aspirations.
The protagonists of “Design Dance” are 456 design, classic and modern objects, activated by actors, acrobats and dancers, by magical theatrical devices. All there to witness or imagine through animated pictures. Actors and dancers on stage, moving and moving among armchairs, chairs, beds, bookcases, tables, coffee tables, poufs and bedside tables, because the greatness of these objects lies in their precise relationship with the human body.
Actors, stars, leading ladies. The sorts of objects we all know by name, we know their colours, their types and the years they were made. Objects that have already proved their worth and objects that are just starting out. All protagonists of “Design Dance,” following in the Cosmit tradition of linking the trade fair proper with art and communication. An original production conceived for the Saloni 2012, at the Teatro dell’Arte at the Triennale di Milano.
“Design Dance” – a project by Michela Marelli and Francesca Molteni, who has curated several events for past Saloni – was born of a creative workshop involving acrobats, scenographers and costumiers. Over 60 people have been, including authors, interpreters and technicians, as well as 30 students from the Nuova Accademia di Belle Arti di Milano (NABA). Six months have been devoted to the project, not to mention 500 hours of rehearsals, 20 scene changes, 3 selected thousand archive images and over 200 companies whose products form part of the challenge to transform the objects on stage into protagonists: flying sofas, tables that play music, lamps that dance. An hour and a quarter of ceaseless activity.
