ME TIME – DANCE AT THE MUSEUM

Music and dance immerse the audience in a visual and auditory experience that guides them through the rooms of the second floor of Palazzo Maffei. This experience is like exploring a landscape, allowing visitors to personally sense the continuous transformations triggered by varying soundscapes.

Music is delivered through the Silent Play system—special headphones provided in compliance with anti-Covid regulations—creating an exclusive connection between each visitor and the unique ambiance of every room.

ME TIME – DANCE AT THE MUSEUM evolves into a sonic journey, dialoguing with the museum’s collection pieces and the choreographic actions.

Camilla Monga, recognized as one of the most compelling choreographers of her generation in contemporary dance (her works often engage with contemporary art and have been performed at venues such as Mart in Rovereto, the Venice Biennale, the Museum of Modern Art in Moscow, and the Milan Triennale), crafts her performances in intimate spaces, harmonizing with the exhibited works. Her choreography relies on a geometric configuration that allows for variations based on the viewer’s perspective.

Each performance is accompanied by the “soundscapes” of Federica Furlani, a composer and musician who has collaborated with prominent Italian directors like Carmelo Rifici and Antonio Latella.

Federica Furlani’s musical research draws inspiration from the reflections of pioneering environmental composer Raymond Murray Schafer and Brian Eno. She interprets the “third soundscape,” defined as the characteristic soundscape of an environment or community. These are unique sounds that hold great value, representing the sonic heritage of the places where we live. They help us rediscover diverse identities that continuously change, much like the ever-evolving nature around us, in a journey that seems never-ending.

The “themed rooms” on the second floor of the collection are traversed by various soundscapes, creating a dramaturgical foundation for exploring time and conveying how human identity is tied to nature in the past, present, and future.
