Griesplatz Lana – Gala Apple

In 2013 working with the cultural association Luce Dipinta Multivisioni I presented a large-scale building projection in Griesplatz, Lana. It was part of the Langer Donnerstag (late night shopping which takes place each Thursday evening throughout the summer) which also fell on ‘Ferragosto’ (15.08.2013). Repeated (with some additions) also on the evening of 17th August, it was a show dedicated to the Gala apple and marked the traditional start of harvesting this apple variety in the region.

Caterina Cornaro, ex queen of Cyprus, exiled to Asolo in 1489, was able to create a castle, that still bares her name, a beautiful Renaissance court. Eleonora Duse, of international theatre, used to come to relax in Asolo from the hard work of the stage and also, chose Asolo as her final resting place. Freya Stark, explorer, writer and photographer, felt privileged to set Asolo as her goal of returning from her journeys and she too is buried here, in the cemetery of S.Anna.

The multivision of about 10 minutes, explores the extraordinary stories of these ladies and was presented at the end of each Teatro Duse session as a final surprise for the public.
