Maker Faire Rome, the most significant European event for innovation, is set to take place from October 20th to 22nd at the Fiera di Roma, promoted and organized by the Camera di Commercio di Roma. In the context of this event, CCN/Aterballetto and Sony CSL will be presenting the Dis.abile | Iper.abile project, featuring the performance Body into the Fight, curated by choreographer Diego Tortelli. This innovative project has its roots in collaborative research conducted with Sony CSL and researcher Ken Endo.
The preview is scheduled during the Opening Conference of Maker Faire Rome on October 19th at 5:30 PM.
Dis.abile | Iper.abile originates from the desire of the two partners to support a welfare “focused not only on resolving emergencies but centered on promoting the well-being and capabilities of people, as an engine of development and employment and a factor of social inclusion,” as defined by the urban planner Carolina Giaimo.
Society is changing, and healthcare is facing new needs. In this scenario, innovation is a challenge. Assistive devices for disabilities, as well as for everyday life, biomedical devices, tech and digital accessories for sports: this and much more will be presented at Maker Faire Rome 2023 from October 20th to 22nd at the Fiera di Roma. Here’s how director Gigi Cristoforetti comments:
“The project “Dis.abile | Iper.abile,” centered around the performance by Diego Tortelli “Body into the fight,” fits into this framework and is, for CCN/Aterballetto, a sort of amplifier of the themes on which the Center has worked in recent years. Research always supported by the observation of bodies, the generative material of dance. In the background, like a leitmotif, we find the duty, as a cultural institution, not to shut ourselves off from the world and to deal with social issues. Like cultural welfare, just to give an example.”
Project developed in the framework of the collaboration between Innova Camera (Special Agency of the Camera di Commercio di Roma), Opera di Roma and Centro Coreografico Nazionale/Aterballetto.
Thanks to the availability of Romaeuropa Festival, on the occasion of the Dancing Days, a selection curated by Francesca Manica in the context of the 2023 edition of the Festival, CCN/Aterballetto will have the opportunity to present again the performance Body into the fight by Diego Tortelli.
The event will take place on 19 October at the Mattatoio, at 22:00.
