The wonderful visual artist William Kentridge launches the spectator on to one of his artistic, political and spiritual adventures of which he alone holds the secret: a chamber opera inspired by the avant-gardes of the time, mixing the surreal and irrational (masks, collages, projections) and engaging dancers, performers, chorus members and instrumentalists in a vast web of musical styles, especially African and Caribbean.

Domenico Antonio Mancini, with his installation Sei Dieffenbachia, is the second artist selected to activate SCONFINA. Mancini’s intervention arises from the urgency of exploring a political issue close to his heart: the right to housing, linking it to the history of public social housing and its accessibility. In Sei Dieffenbachia, Mancini translates his political reflections into a poetic work, addressing the need for intervention, whether publicly or collectively. By doing politics without explicitly talking about it and flipping the relationship between objects, the artist invites passersby on Via Aleardi to take action.

Over the past few years, the Fundació Sorigué has built the most prominent collection of William Kentridge’s work in Europe. This collection reflects the most significant themes of his work and includes examples from his most iconic series. The main theme of the exhibition is Kentridge’s creative process. He is renowned for his unique approach to blending different forms of expression, such as drawing, hand-drawn animation, film, music, dance, and set design. Through his creations, Kentridge explores the complex history of South Africa and, more broadly, the nature of human emotions and memory.
