The festival was born in 2011 in Naples, and it is conceived and directed by TeatrInGestAzione (teatringestazione.com). It gathers together a growing community of international artists, citizens of Naples and creators of thinking. The Festival is built with the citizens of Naples who host the works of international artists in their houses and/or private spaces (apartments, terraces, basements, courtyards, whole buildings, artisan shops…). Works in programme are observed and analyzed by a Critique Panel: a permanent space of reflection and interdisciplinary research, organic with Alto Fest, in which a miscellaneous group of researchers and artists is called to exercise a collective and multi-perspective look on the Festival.

A coreographic, instalative and musical project by Javier Cuevas and Sara Serrano. A project created through open and collaborative practices with artists related to music and choral singing, called in residence and exhibition contexts, based on the repercussions of marching, hymns and collective singing on the body (as a physical body and as a political and ideological corpus); and its build up from resistance, non-producting, the weird, the participation and the questioning on the roles of artist-audience. A transit from the archaic-collective to the domesticated-artificial. From the primitive singing and walking till the choral collective singing and the bourgeois lied.

Wakefield Poole is the name of one of the American dancers that joined the Ballets Russes de Montecarlo, and who was also a porno gay filmmaker. In Visiones y revisiones I establish a comparative study between two works the dancer-filmmaker knows quite well. On one hand, the second act of Swan Lake, that Wakefield danced on many occasions while he work for the Ballets Russes, and on the other hand his first film from 1971, a landmark of the gay pornographic film. The title Visions and revisions synthesizes the proposal. Vision as the ability to see but also as an imaginary perception sensed as real. Revision as the act of looking at the detail and in detail at something.
