Aquileia, crocevia dell’Impero Romano, La via dei patriarchi in mostra all’Istituto Italiano di Cultura di Budapest
Lunedì 9 novembre 2009, alle ore 18.00 presso l’Istituto Italiano di Cultura (1088 Budapest, Bródy Sándor u. 8.) verrà inaugurata la mostra Aquileia, crocevia dell’Impero Romano, La via dei patriarchi.
La mostra – che resterà aperta fino a fine novembre 2009 - attraverso testi rigorosamente scientifici ed accattivanti immagini, “racconta” la storia della città scandita per temi, che dalla fondazione portano alla splendida Basilica del Patriarca Popone. Un viaggio nel tempo che, di pannello in pannello, conduce il visitatore alla scoperta dei colori dei mosaici, delle ambre, dei gioielli, delle gemme incise.
Creata dall’associazione Nazionale per Aquileia, che dal 1929 promuove e incentiva la conoscenza dell’antica metropoli, costantemente aggiornata per seguire i risultati degli scavi che sono condotti senza sosta, promossa e sostenuta dall’Associazione Culturale Mitteleuropa, la mostra ha in Budapest la sede inaugurale di una nuovissima versione, cui si aggiungono calchi di importantissimi documenti epigrafici e figurati concessi in prestito dalla Soprintendenza per i Beni Archeologici del Friuli Venezia Giulia e dal Museo Archeologico Nazionale di Aquileia, fondato nel 1882 e aperto dall’arciduca Karl Ludwig in rappresentanza dell’imperatore Franz Joseph.
Un primo appuntamento, che troverà replica in altre città d’Europa, in un percorso di fratellanza, di cultura, di riscoperta della “nostra” storia e comune civiltà.

COMUNICATO STAMPA
Spettacolo Triple Bill: proiezione del video “Secrets for Sale”, spettacolo di danza “no.thing”, performance musicale “Rap Titan” X Stagione Internazionale di Musica Klasik Tirana, Accademia delle Arti, 5 novembre 2009
Si terrà giovedì 5 novembre 2009, alle ore 19, presso l’Accademia delle Arti di Tirana, un evento speciale, dal titolo “Triple Bill”, organizzato in collaborazione da questo Istituto di Cultura e dall’Ambasciata di Svizzera in Albania nell’ambito della X Stagione Internazionale di Musica Klasik.
L’evento comprenderà la proiezione del video “Secrets for Sale” di Elodie Pong nella hall dell’Accademia delle Arti, il balletto “no.thing” della Compagnia di danza contemporanea “linga” e, a seguire, la performance di musica hip hop “Rap Titan” composta da Roberto Garieri e dal DJ Eagle nel Teatro dell’Accademia.
Il video “Secrets for Sale” di Elodie Pong, artista svizzera di origine cinese, è un filmato in stile reality-show, che mette a nudo l’anima più segreta della gente comune ed è nato da una installazione interattiva presso l’Arsenic Theatre di Losanna, in cui ogni visitatore era invitato a confidare e vendere sotto contratto un segreto personale, filmato da 8 telecamere di sorveglianza.
La Compagnia di danza contemporanea “linga” presenterà “no.thing”, uno spettacolo con 6 ballerini creato da Katarzyna Gdaniec e Marco Cantalupo sotto lo stimolo di una domanda - “nell’era delle performances fisiche, l’autenticità di un gesto può ancora commuovere?” – a cui si cerca di dare risposta, focalizzandosi sulla danza e sulle sue relazioni con la musica. La compagnia “linga” è stata fondata nel 1992 da Katarzyna Gdaniec, nata e formatasi in Polonia, già prima ballerina del Béjart Ballet, e da Marco Cantalupo, genovese, allievo della Scala, dell’Opera di Amburgo e del coreografo dei Momix Daniel Ezralow.
Dopo un breve intervallo seguirà lo spettacolo “Rap Titan”, una performance di musica hip hop composta da Roberto Garieri e dal DJ Eagle per raccontare la storia dell’hip hop, spiegando come i suoi protagonisti, stanchi dell’incubo urbano e della sua violenza, abbiano dato vita ad una vera e propria cultura.

OSCE Presence condemns violent attack against Albanian newspaper editor.
TIRANA, 3 November 2009 - The Head of the OSCE Presence in Albania, Ambassador Robert Bosch, condemned today a violent attack on the editor of the Tema newspaper.
Mero Baze was beaten yesterday in Tirana and taken to hospital for treatment following an attack that, according to media reports, was linked to Baze’s reporting in the newspaper and on television. Police are investigating and have arrested two suspects.
"We condemn all forms of physical violence, especially attacks targeting the media. All journalists, irrespective of their perceived political hue, must be allowed to carry out their daily work without fear of physical reprisals," Bosch said.
"Freedom of the media is a crucial tenet of any modern, democratic and free society."
Bosch said he supported the reactions from the Albanian president and the prime minister. He also strongly encouraged the relevant national authorities to bring those responsible for this serious act to justice.
