BODY INTO THE FIGHT – ROMAEUROPA FESTIVAL

Body into the fight is the performance curated by Diego Tortelli and born from the research together with Sony CSL and researcher Ken Endo, at the center of the project Dis.abile | Iper.abile. The show will be presented for the first time during the Opening Conference of Maker Faire Rome on October 19th.

Thanks to the availability of Romaeuropa Festival, on the occasion of the Dancing Days, a selection curated by Francesca Manica as part of the 2023 edition of the Festival, CCN/Aterballetto will have the opportunity to present the performance again. The event will take place on October 19th at the Mattatoio, at 10:00 PM.

Thanks to the research we will conduct with Ken Hendo and SONY CSL, we will have the opportunity to delve into the idea of prostheses as extensions of the body capable of making it hyper-able. An extension of the body that enhances physical performance and is no longer just a recourse to solve a physical trauma or to hide a disability. It is about extending the idea of ability in a poetic key that can come as close as possible to the definition of a “contemporary body.” Or at least to stimulate a reflection, capable of entering the theater halls, with a poetic serving the external world in a way that makes the body surprise us once again.

Dis.abile | Iper.abile arises from the desire of the two partners to support a welfare system “focused not only on emergency resolution but centered on promoting the well-being and abilities of individuals, as an engine of development and employment and a factor of social inclusion,” according to the definition by urbanist 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 daily life, biomedical devices, tech accessories, and digital tools for sports: this and much more will be presented at Maker Faire Rome 2023.

Sony CSL aims to contribute to the future of humanity and the planet by promoting the development of sciences and new technologies and their application in various fields. In particular, at the Rome laboratory, directed by Vittorio Loreto, one of the research lines aims to participate in the redesign of our societies with a transdisciplinary approach that uses creativity as a starting point to address the challenges of today’s society. The comment of Vittorio Loreto from Sony CSL:

“It is precisely in this direction that the Dis.abile | Iper.abile project takes its first steps. One of our research lines has this very objective: to observe and experiment with the interaction between humans and new technologies (such as AI) and understand how both can benefit from this virtuous exchange, where humans receive inputs from the machine that help them improve. When we learned about the artistic work of CCN/Aterballetto, we immediately thought of the technology of Ken Endo, which is why we are here today ready to present this new project at the most important innovation event in Europe.”
