EU-ROPA is an artistic investigation about clothes - through the medium of performing and media arts –clothes that cover and smarten us up, give us identity and color, while depriving other people of basic human rights, and impoverishing the environment by their production.
In April 2013 the collapse of Rana Plaza
factory building near Dhaka, Bangladesh, put all of us in front of the world’s
worst industrial disaster after Bhopal, and the worst ever in the garment
sector, with more than 1100 victims. That was just the last of a long black
list of accidents and violations, involving the most important global brands,
revealing a system of exploitation of human and natural resources which is just
the B-side of our western society. We cannot turn our heads as we are part of
this society, and we are all probably dressing - or have probably dressed –
some clothes that are the result of a fundamental injustice. We cannot turn our
heads since the awareness about what we wear involves also awareness about what
we are, as individuals or society, and what we appear to be.
Clothes are mostly the
reason why we put ourselves in front of a mirror, so the project “EU-ROPA” aims
to put us in front of a mirror at a deeper level; in front of our condition as
western citizens, fostering reflection about our life style; in front of our
condition as human beings, since it is very pregnant to compare clothes
covering up our body with our body covering up our soul as a permanent yet
transitory dress. And as dresses can mean prison or slavery for some people,
also our bodies can be a prison for ourselves, if we don’t get the way to
freedom.
“EU-ROPA” is an artistic
project which aims also to support the European Clean Clothes Campaign (www.cleanclothes.org) to
spread awareness about social injustice and working conditions in the global
garment and sportswear industries.

(Eu)ropa è un progetto artistico di
INSOMNIA - Compagnia Internazionale di Danza Teatro con il sostegno di Gruppo e.Motion di Francesca La Cava.
(eu) ropa è stato creato con il supporto di Electa Creative Arts, di IBERESCENA (fondi di aiuto per le arti performative di Latinoamerica)
(eu) ropa è stato creato con il supporto di Electa Creative Arts, di IBERESCENA (fondi di aiuto per le arti performative di Latinoamerica)
Il titolo del progetto gioca con il
nome del nostro continente risultante dall’unione del portoghese EU, ovvero io, e dello spagnolo ROPA, ovvero vestito.
La performance (Eu)ropa propone una
riflessione sul comportamento della società occidentale contemporanea, in
un’epoca di produzione e consumo indiscriminato ma anche di crescente vuoto
esistenziale. Un’indagine artistica sul tema dei vestiti che rivestono i nostri
corpi e al contempo spogliano altre persone di elementari diritti umani
attraverso la loro produzione.
I vestiti sono la ragione per la quale
spesso ci mettiamo di fronte a uno specchio, i vestiti ci identificano. Il
progetto (Eu)ropa mira a metterci di fronte ad uno specchio a un livello più
profondo: di fronte alla nostra condizione di cittadini occidentali, stimolando
una riflessione sul nostro stile di vita; di fronte alla nostra condizione di
esseri umani nudi, essendo assolutamente pregnante paragonare i vestiti che
ricoprono il nostro corpo, con il nostro stesso corpo che ricopre la nostra
anima, come un vestito permanente eppure transitorio.
(Eu)ropa è un
progetto artistico che supporta la campagna Abiti Puliti nel diffondere
consapevolezza sulle condizioni di lavoro nell’industria tessile globale, per
sensibilizzare e mobilitare i consumatori, e fare pressione verso imprese e
governi.
