cos’è/what (ITA / EN)

(English below)

Relazione attraverso i libri, lettura condivisa, prototipi narrativi, performance e progetti tematici.  Come autrice, la Lettrice vis-à-vis costruisce percorsi frutto della rielaborazione personale di materiale esistente. All’ascoltatore il compito di operare una scelta, di privilegiare un ulteriore punto di vista, per comporre la relazione. Dall’intreccio di due volontà nasce la performance, ogni volta diversa, perché tali sono i protagonisti.

LA PAGINA GIUSTA, PER LA PERSONA GIUSTA, AL MOMENTO GIUSTO

Esplorazione del paesaggio umano e relazione significativa, realizzata prevalentemente nello spazio pubblico ed esclusivamente attraverso conversazione, ascolto e l’utilizzo di pagine di libri selezionate per offrire punti di vista originali sulle questioni intercettate.

LA LETTRICE VIS-à-VIS
THE FACE-TO-FACE READER 
conversations and micro-readings for one guest at a time

“The important thing is not to have everything in mind, but knowing where to find it” (Juan Villoro, El Libre Selvaje).

La Lettrice Vis à Vis chooses and catalogues, with her original methodology, the meaningful pages of contemporary literature, then she welcomes her guests in her travelling micro-salon and listens, chats, and tries to find the right page for everyone, in the space of a few minutes.
Ring a bell, step onto the carpet, sit on the stool next to her portable library full of mysterious volumes. For the audience, an unexpected point of view, a little push to change a balance, some lines to modify a state of mind. A new perspective, an idea shared eye-to-eye with the Lettrice.

The observation began the moment the guests accept the invitation to participate. How they move, how they approach, how they talk: everything is a little clue. In a ‘Catalogue of Ideas’ they find sentences, keywords and excerpts. They are invited to choose something that resonates or makes a new thought pop-up in their mind, and to add some comments. The Lettrice selects and reads the appropriate page. In the space of a few minutes the relationship can reach a degree of intensity and intimacy that guarantees real and no-judgmental communication.

Since 2013, more than three thousand interactions, almost all photographed and recorded in an archive, and as many people kept in touch by social media and e-mail. Over fifty libraries and ‘Catalogues of Ideas’, each and every one tailoured to the moment, the location, the community. Please, ask for yours.
