Il Divertimento per li Regazzi

The performing arts festival Il Divertimento per li Regazzi took place on 6^th and 8^th December 2019 at Il Cerchio, a cooperative located in Sacca Fisola, part of Giudecca island, in Venice. The event was curated by the collective Extragarbo and was produced in collaboration with IUAV University’s Student Senate.From 25^th November to 5^th December 2019, Il Divertimento per li Regazzi produced and offered residencies to eight performance projects: Call Monica by Call Monica, Il Ginnasio delle Perle di Vetro by Jabberwocky, Rovinati by Leonardo Schifino, Repeating Eutrophia by Collettivo Confluenze, OH MY GHOST! by -ness, 24H by Miami Safari, Tutorial by Avatāra and Se le Regole non sono Usate per Governarci by Nuvola Ravera. All artists were from IUAV master’s degrees in Visual Arts and Theatre and Performing Arts. During the two-week period of creation, each work inhabited one of four different spaces of the metropolitan city of Venice: C32 performingartworkspace, V-A-C Foundation, Argo 16 and Combo Venezia.
This curatorial project was born out of Extragarbo’s desire to create a place for the researches of the students/young artists of the new performing arts scene, and to have them interact with the critical eye of people that work in this field. Il Divertimento per li regazzi intended to build a transversal network between a number of cultural entities by putting different spaces and experiences together.
