The New Year's Eve in Rome is BEYOND EVERYTHING: a unique event only in streaming

Share

26 December 2020A unique and exceptional streaming evening, with international and national artists: the celebration of a rite of passage rather than a party, this year, with the hope of getting together again for the New Year of 2022. It is “OVER ALL ", The New Year in Rome in the era of Covid-19.

Its history, its most extraordinary places and the artists, who with their works make them increasingly current and contemporary, are the protagonists, this is the thread of the story of over two hours of web event.

The two curators, Francesca Macrì and Claudia Sorace, together with the city's Cultural Institutions, started with three questions: how to feel close while being far away?

How can the city go back to being a home and not just a landscape?

How not to stop dreaming?

From here comes an artistic story made of sounds, images and words.

Michela Murgia and Chiara Valerio will accompany us on this unprecedented journey.

The Scenography Laboratory of the Opera House is transformed for the occasion into a recording studio not accessible to the public, from which the two authors will be in connection from 10 pm until after midnight and from which they will perform with a live performance streaming Gianna Nannini.

The Scenography Laboratory enjoys an extraordinary view of the Circus Maximus, the place where the passing of the year was celebrated together in recent years.

This year instead of people at Circo Massimo there will be two great contemporary art installations, that of Alfredo Pirri (

) and that of Tim Etchells (

) that mark with their presence the great change of a New Year's Eve that will not be in the streets, but that in the exceptional conditions we are experiencing, tries to make us feel together, part of the same community, from our homes.

Contemporary art is the protagonist of OLTRE TUTTO also with the world premiere of Tomás Saraceno:

, designed specifically for OLTRE TUTTO.

The Argentine artist will explore the connections of the Earth with the Universe and of Man with Nature and the Cosmos, thanks to a new work that develops on three levels: a sound level, a visual one and a third linked to the perception of vibrations. .

For music, in addition to Gianna Nannini, the program hosts the performances of some great Italian artists, already recorded last week, from absolutely extraordinary places in the Eternal City.

Elodie from the Tabularium of the Capitoline Museums, Gemitaiz from the Ara Pacis, Diodato from the Palatine Stadium, Carl Brave from rhinoceros Alda Fendi art hub in front of the Arco di Giano, Manuel Agnelli feat.

Rodrigo d'Erasmo from the Museum of Rome - Palazzo Braschi.

The New Year's Eve in Rome on a digital platform, on the culture.roma.it website, thus becomes an occasion in which the City tells itself as never before, offering its citizens and the whole world unique and unrepeatable images and suggestions.

To accompany this long diary of a New Year's Eve, many other unpublished contributions made for the occasion.

Words, dialogue, writing will be protagonists not only with Chiara Valerio and Michela Murgia, but also thanks to the contributions of Maria Giovanna Luini, Sandra Savaglio and Igiaba Scego.

Cinema could not be missing, with the Vedute project in which the D'Innocenzo Brothers, Chiara Caselli, Chiara Francini, Francesco Bruni and Mauro Covacich participated.

Each of them made a video about Rome starting from a fixed shot, a portion of urban space, a symbolic image of their vision of the city.

Adriana Ferreira and Augusta Girardi, on the other hand, will open the streaming with a beautiful performance in duo, flute and harp.

The event, as well as video, will be accompanied by a special of Radio India, broadcast on spreaker, a story with several voices by OLTRE TUTTO that will accompany us from 28 December to 3 January.

will tell the creation of a huge painted backdrop created by the Laboratory of the Opera House in via dei Cerchi depicting the OLTRE TUTTO campaign.

The work will then be mounted on the tympanum of the building's facade for a few days.

"Even in this very difficult 2020 we have done our best to experience the New Year together respecting the physical distance but trying to build, through the sharing of a special experience on a special night, connections between us" says the Mayor of Rome, Virginia Raggi.
