After over a thousand years, water, the foundational and vital element of all thermal facilities, returns to the Terme di Caracalla with the Water Mirror: a contemporary architectural intervention promoted by the Soprintendenza Speciale di Roma, directed by Daniela Porro.
The project, born from the collaboration of Mirella Serlorenzi, site director, with architect Hannes Peer, evokes the suggestions of the thermal environments with mist, jets, and light effects that will evoke the ancient Baths. Added to this is the element of the reflection of the archaeological architecture in the Water Mirror, which invites contemplation in parallel with the immersive experience.
On Saturday, April 13, at 4:00 PM, the Aterballetto Company will perform at Caracalla for the inauguration of the Water Mirror. On this occasion, the Roman premiere of Rhapsody in Blue, choreographed by Iratxe Ansa and Igor Bacovich for the centenary of George Gershwin’s composition, will be presented.
The show, realized in collaboration with Electa and scheduled at the Terme di Caracalla thanks to an initial idea by Cristiano Leone, artistic consultant for cultural activities at the site, will be presented in a double performance, at 4:00 PM and at 5:30 PM. Access to the performance is included with the entrance ticket to the site.
