FOCUS ON - June 2013

Chiara Guidi

Actress Chiara Guidi is one of the contributors to What Matters Now? (What Can't You Hear?). Her research stems from a fascination with spoken word and voice, and from an exploration of its intersections with body, action, time and space. In this short clip from Madrigale appena narrabile [A Madrigal that Can Be Barely Narrated] vocal sounds take over the theatrical space and create new and ever-changing meanings from the inside of sounds.

Chiara Guidi is an actress and performer. She founded the Italian theatre company Socìetas Raffaello Sanzio in 1981 with Romeo and Claudia Castellucci, proposing an approach to theatre based on visual, plastic and sonic qualities. As an actress she has been developing an intensive research on the voice and how it becomes body, action, time, space, embracing music and text. Since 2008 she has been artistic director of Màntica, a festival of theatre and music in Cesena, Italy. Following up a long-term and award-winning research on theatre for children, in 2011 she initiated Puerilia, a festival devoted to children's experience of theatre.
