DESCRIPTION: Centocapre (literally onehundredgoats) is a participatory art project created as
a form of historical reconstruction of a collective myth. It takes place in
Latronico (PZ) a centuries-old village, like many in these parts of Italy, rich
in traditions, stories and characters. "Centocapre is a flow, a moment in the life
of the artist and the community together with which the work came to be."[P.R]
f' activates a dialogue with the population of the small village in Basilicata
and collects faded testimonies, collective stories, tales and fragmentary
memories, partly related to ancient events and rituals, of pagan origin where
nature is the center and revolutionary origin of every identity. The discovery
of some finds is a further foothold for a story that combines invention and interpretation,
regenerates ethno-anthropological elements belonging to the local
community.
The project lasts one year and includes workshops with the participation of children
and adults, counting also on the collaboration of different artists and musicians,
and ends in a parade involving the villagers. The end result is the story
of timeless myth, that is "migrant" and "modular".
The climax of the event was the vision of the turquoise heraldic symbol of Centocapre
that appeared and will appear for years every night of the new moon on the
walls of the village. This is the choral and symbolic moment of the advent of
Centocapre.
Centocapore was eventually translated into a medium-length film to be screened in
the village cinema and to be installed in the exhibition venue as a multichannel
video.
