LA SOCIETÀ DELLO SPETTACOLO – associazione di cultura
Curriculum
La Società dello Spettacolo - Association of Culture, was born in Umbria in 2007 by the
cooperation of three artists: cl Grugher, Marianna Masciolini and Michelangelo Bellani, all
coming from different individual experiences.
Modularity is from the beginning the main feature of their investigation, as means to express
their own personalities.
Multiple languages of expression and no closure, in a free testing ground which however
doesn‟t forget the memory of tradition.
The project "The society of the spectacle" inspired by the theory of the French philosopher and
filmmaker Guy Debord, marks an important moment of study and reflection on contemporary
civilization. This study leads this group of theatrical research to take the same name of their
first work, to choose the city of Assisi as workspace and to orientate their research to the
dramaturgical adaptation of sociological and philosophical texts, trying to explain the link
between the theatric word and the one of philosophy.
Parallel with the theatrical production, the Società dello Spettacolo leads
training and education projects in which the theatrical disciplines support the teaching. For
these activities the association collaborates with the local government and public institutions,
with the Regional Office of education and with the ONG TAMAT. It also regularly conducts
theatrical workshops in various schools in the district of Perugia and workshops of studio for
adults, "Spaziozero", in different sites in Umbria. It is associated partner with the project
Hu.Ri.Su and partner for the project “Non Profit Sector as key competencies and transversal
generator “ under the Lifelong Learning Program - Grundtvig European Commission.
The Società dello Spettacolo – Association of culture, organizes projects of
theatrical education, "SpazioH", dedicated to the disabled people in collaboration with
institutions and humanitarian organizations.
The Società dello Spettacolo - also produces documentaries , video, installations and live
multimedia performances.

-Il Delitto Perfetto by Jean Baudrillard
Again a 'philosophical' text put on stage. The ploy, in hindsight, it is less misleading than what
it seems at first sight.
If fact what is true for the words of philosophy also applies to the theatrical text: both words
are created to be 'spoken'.
Indeed if a narrative or a poetic transposition arises from a “silent matter” that is
born to be read, on the contrary the philosophy word and the theatric script have the same will
to became spoken word in a dialectical fight, almost as body emergency of a thinking
substance. Therefore the word of the philosophical text grow out already “theatric”.
Debut: Clitunno theatre _ Trevi (pg) Italy Teatro Stabile dell'Umbria
-Il Neo Barocco – [1610-2010 [1610-2010 THE SPECTRE OF '600 is haunting EUROPE ]
The project is openly indebted to The new Baroque age, essay written by Omar Calabrese,
one of the most famous Italian semiologists.
Other studies have conducted our research to explore the scenic „transmigration‟ of
philosophical works - as already know who knows our theatrical production,In this case,
however, it is not the dramaturgical transposition of the noted essay appeared in the late
eighties and is not even just a theoretical base to draw upon. This is a «geography of
concepts» from which to construct a play.
What Calabrese defines "new baroque" is nothing if not a map in the floating universe of the
contemporary aesthetics. From the spectacular '80s years until nowadays, the persistence of
the concept of new baroque in culture, in art and cinema, in literature, in politics, in fashion, in
design and in sport, through advertising and Internet of course, is clearly visible.
We could add the subtitle: From the postmodern to the new baroque or from Caravaggio to Kill
Bill or even RocoPulp.
