A habitat of sculptures, an evolutionary path, a stage set, videos and photographs: this and more is Euforia Carogna, an exhibition designed for the spaces of the Piano Nobile of Palazzo Collicola from Antonio Rezza and Flavia Mastrella, on the occasion of their participation in Festival dei Due Mondi. The project itself is a kind of grand performance, in which cycles of sculptures used in theatrical performances such as Photofinish, blow-ups, books to casters and made to by hand, Pictures of Light, Stage Paintings, Cards from Giogo, Faces...Goths, musical instruments, fabric sculptures on mirrored sheets animate the museum as fragile and impertinent intruders, while in some rooms videos, film fragments, theatrical actions and soundtracks such as The Cry of the Centaur are projected.

The exhibition of Italian video artist to international level, Fabrizio Plessi, is also dedicated in some ways to the performing arts. On view are, in fact, his digital set designs created since the 1980s to today, projected onto six monumental books to documenting works performed for contemporary theater and dance, from Frédéric Flamand's Trilogy to Pirandello, Shakespeare, to the total show dedicated to his own opera at the Teatro della Fenice. The exhibition is made possible through technical support at the Venice Academy of Fine Arts, a grant from the LeWitt Foundation, and support from the Marignoli Foundation of Montecorona and the Friends of Palazzo Collicola.
