Il sogno di un drago

Running time 40'
On the occasion of the final day of the exhibition Alessandro Mendini. Io sono un drago, we present—together with Fondation Cartier pour l'art contemporain—a performance by Antonio Syxty conceived for the spaces of Triennale. The project stems from three performances from 2018 that the artist Antonio Syxty and Alessandro Mendini had created together: Architettura Addio - To You 1, To You 2 and To You 3, in which the thought, utopia and philosophy of life and work of the architect, designer, artist and theorist who marked the revolutions in thought and costume of the 20th century and the new millennium were staged. The performance deals with the themes of childhood and the passing of time, which are reworked by Syxty in a dreamlike dimension, from which another theme emerges that is dear to both authors: utopia, which for Sixty lies in the possibility of continuing the dream even in real life.
