On April 4, Fondazione Fabbrica Europa inaugurates its new space in Florence, PARC Performing Arts Research Centre, a permanent centre focussed on contemporary creation, research, training, but also the environment, the relationship with the territory and the interaction with public spaces, first of all the Parco delle Cascine, the park in which it is located; a place in which to find diverse expressions and experiences and in which to create synergies with an interdisciplinary approach.
PARC also houses the Visitor Centre of the Cascine Park and the PARC Bistrò.

WRECK

WRECK is an interdisciplinary performance mixing movement, sound and visual art. A huge black plastic soft sculpture (like a pillow), inflated of air, moves in the space. As a hunter.
This abstract objet has a very evocative power. As it swallows and spits humain beings, it could be considered like an allegory of Leviathans or a undersea legendary monster, or a metaphor of Capitalism, humain conditions. It has the power to amplify the imagination of who is watching, multiplying associations and conceptual layers.
PARC houses also the Infopoint of Parco delle Cascine
