Jean Genet's words have made our project on "need": their strength poetic and sensual led the project leads, as blindfolded, to a final solution. An important and topical issue and a theater company that dedicates to them the name "Les Bonnes", the need, vile and beautiful beings.
"Who is Madame?" is the question that you stand out clear in our minds and which began this work of theater, poetry, video and painting. An admixture necessary to involve the public in the round. Our first desire is in fact to create a feast of images and sensations that arise in the audience subtly face the doubt, that will take them without violence obvious but subtle, to expose themselves and recognize themselves. The people need this feature, "the servants are monsters and saints," as Genet said the same, things that show us mortals, our front and back, to avoid seeing the truth. Starting from a joint application then the public will be pushed towards an exploration of the whole individual, impressed by the surreal world of the stage and the harshness of modernity and its affiliated facilities.
As a group of colorful creative we each contributed differently to this experience, each with their own world and its past. Genoa is a return to some home, for others a place to explore, but for us all a gamble. Serves two, two sisters, Claire and Solange, love and hate their mistress. Madame is their obsession.
Every night in his room, the two take turns playing the role of Mme. Every evening, at their secret ritual staged the murder of Madame, but could never truly do. This game is all they have.
A story with no time or place. made of symbols. A drama on appearance, the masking and the exterior.
With "Les Bonnes" we explored the world of two maids through installations, video and theatrical performance. A study of communication between the arts to leave the usual ways of doing theater and exhibitions and find a more intense communion with the audience. Make it active and present through food for all and free of significant comments resulting from an objective look at our contemporary world, in which to find meaning and whether oneself. On the one hand, the weird and wonderful world of chamber Madame recreated through recycling and waste materials, A mountain of furniture that make up an altar, an island, a prison, and the shaping of the other topics in today from Genet : uncomfortable for your body, camouflage, fashion, plastic surgery, alienation, imagination, the gossip, in the soap opera, the lives of others.

"shared fantasy"
Again pop forays into the world of graphics, cartoon and design in the works of two young artists, Giorgia Bellingeri and Theresa Morelli, witnessing many facets of contemporary abstract and far from being disconnected from everyday life. Both Genoa and designer born globetrotter craft, there are images resulting from their imagination, but also firmly anchored in our everyday reality, the collective, with which invite us to interact, have fun, to recognize flaws and represented our attitudes ... to undermine even, but always with due irony though ...
Giorgia Bellingeri, graduated in Genoa, then Specialized in London and Brighton is an illustrator, but first and foremost a designer in the sense that the design is his vocation, his life: that is why the drawings can not help but include what is around and everything that flows in its thoughts. Its design may vary vehicle and support - lithographs, oils, ink and watercolor, enamel on paper, paintings, objects - but not charged with energy and immediacy that is able to pass it sometimes invades even furniture, mirrors and other design or recovery gave new impulse of new life. On display at esempiun Throat cabinet "ready to swallow all the greedy, is the way to deal with Giorgia ironically the theme of the 7 Deadly Sins, from which spring all our joys and sorrows. To involve the public viewers will be asked to choose between seven masks created to represent each one of the seven vices, after which can capture with a Polaroid ... but it is so easy to choose only one capital sin of all?
Teresa Morelli, also graduated in Genoa, he later specialized in Illustration at the European Institute of Design in Milan, the city where he still lives. With her enter into a dimension almost childish at first, we rediscover the pleasure of the cartoon, comics, games ... but applied to real life situations and adult. Soul animals and objects too small and trivial as if they were people and, even more surprisingly, the same with our attitudes and malice: the three cactus / lizards that are carried away bored by the meter, caused by the drops of milk biscuits dive into the cup for breakfast. Although she likes to experiment with wood, paper, mirrors, etc., small or large canvases, acrylics almost fluorescent colors. From his pictures are a bit 'displaced, amused and disturbed at the same time as in the case of the "Pera sumo" trying to stab poor pieces of sushi and sashimi ... Acrylics the same figures climbing the odd frames of mirrors, are placed by pins, they turn into big paper dolls to give free rein to the imagination of Teresa and the fun of the beholder.

The painting was destroyed and unfortunately remained unfinished because an unexpected drying process, later replaced by the decorations of the Vasari.
