THE HOUSE OF SFERRACAVALLI
How old are you? - 13
What is your name?
Enrica
So from today you will start seeing both us and the ***
Sure, Good work!
We've tried to create some geometric elements
that could be in line with the potentials of this square
which is a space of the city that has never been used as a real square.
It’s strange to call it ”square”
and then seeing this space crossed by cars
They are just industrial pallets
kindly donated by someone for the event.
We’ve tried to use recycled materials throughout the festival.
We’ve taken the pallets, we have sanded,
rubbed down, and planned
in order to remove all the splinters.
We screwed them together
and used some old planks found in the cinema
and made them into some very comfortable back rests.
Let me show you.
It is a simple way of transforming a space
that due to its flooring and dimensions
had never been seen as a place to enjoy.
The lines drawn on the paving
have the function of defining the area
and to create a more intimate environment.
Sometimes when planning the use of public areas,
it's important to bare in mind that people
will use it in different ways...
so it was a pretty open renovation.
We often discuss about this
as we have different ideas.
In my opinion planning has some limits,
you can plan up to a certain level
but then you just need to wait
and see how things develop
because if it is a public area
it cannot only be in the mind of the planner.
THE THEATRE
It dates back to the year 1500
and was originally used as the barns of the castle,
then during 1930s it became a cinema
and stopped to be used in the 1980s.
Goodevening!
It was nice here before.
Seventy or eighty years ago,
there were theatre companies coming.
I was just a child and I was coming here with my dad.
Then when cinema started to become popular
the place was converted into a cinema.
And now?
And now..what are you planning to do theatre or cinema?
Theatre!
And who are the theatre companies..? These?
So you’ve got your work cut out for you.
I’m already sweating.
Just entering this place made me sweat.
He’s 92 years old.
Non credo sembri cosi bello
se abbiamo solo una parete con le locandine.
