Storia di uno che andò via per cercare la paura 2011Sankt Matthaeus cemetery, Berlin“The story of the youth who went forth to learn what fear was” A collective performance on a full-moon night in the Sankt Matthaeus cemetery, Berlin. On the full-moon night of 13 August, in the monumental cemetery of Sankt Matthaeus in Berlin, a group of performers freely interpreted the theme of the transformation from man to animal and back. Inspired by the fairy tales of the Brothers Grimm, who are buried here, and by the idea that the cemetery itself is a place of transformation of the body, the project set out to be an experimental “spatial alchemy”, in which the elements at play were time, place, history and the participants.
