SITE –
SPECIFICITY, THE IMPACT ON THE TERRITORY
Woyzeck represents the pinnacle of artistic research conducted by the
collective CERCLE and has to be intended as an artistic project. Nevertheless,
the site-specific work gives Woyzeck the probability of carrying a strong
social impact on the territory, and makes it certainly
political in the most literal sense of the term, in the sense that concepts
related to coexistence are not supported by this collective, not explained, but
carried through the art and its production processes.
INTRODUCTION
The current trend towards decentralization of power (devolution) in
contemporary society is shaping, in the sphere of social policy, a new typology
of welfare which is based upon a
horizontal subsidiarity and especially on a closer co-operation between
public and private sector.
In this scenario, it becomes very important the role of “Third Sector” as
new energy and alternative to the welfare of the Nation and to the economic
market law, as the only person able to satistfy the needs of daily life, to the
improvement of living standards, cultural services, and to provide a concrete
alternative to the models of cooperation and exchange based on the law of
maximum profit, registering at the same time, as shown by the investigation, a
positive influence both in terms of turnover and employment.
On these basis stands the belief of the collective CERCLE to be able to
generate relational models and productive virtuous that engage with the other
fields of human activity, by the simple implementation of their personal
artistic production process which is developed in the field of parallel
experience of event organization (Festival Internazionale di Arti Visive e Performative RIFRAZIONI) and artistic creation.
PURPOSES
1- Promote freedom of
expression and art in all its forms, free from political influence and from
commercial logic of mass entertainment.
2- Support
interdisciplinary and intercultural dialogue and provide an interchanging
platform among people from different backgrounds and trainings.
3- Propagate art into
those historical, artistic and naturalistic sights and in spaces fallen in
disuse, including theatres and galleries, in order to bring them back to the
collective heritage and promote an informed and responsible fruition.
4 – Reach those fringes of
social fabric away from traditional theatres, supporting the creation of a wide
heterogeneus audience and the interaction between different classes, promoting
sharing and expression and thus the partial resolution of individual and
collective discomfort.
5- Overthrow barriers
between artist and audience, and depose feelings of indifference, alienation
and uneasiness towards the work of art, so typical of our days.
6- Support the development
of socio-cultural and turist sectors, of participated production models, not
based on economic relations but rather on barter, recycling, mutual assistance
and appraise everyone's personal inclinations.

Woyzeck Lab is a creative laboratory which starts up before the event, in the same place where it will be developed the project.
There are two different
methods of connection with Woyzeck Lab:
1.
Workshop for actors/performers
The
workshop is based on physical and vocal training, the study of
the relationship with the diversity of sites of action and on the collaboration
with artists from others disciplines, as well as practicing on preparing
Woyzeck's set up.
The workshop, led by
Souphiène Amiar from CERCLE collective, includes a participation fee which is partially directed to cover the costs of the
project in regards to the residence of the operators.
Fees are not applying to
gain participation at Woyzeck, which is a free event, but they are applying
instead for the educational experience available throughout the workshop .
2.
Participation as indipendent artists
Artists from every discipline, organizations and individuals, are invited to visit us during our work on the site, and move proposals or write us to: cercletheatre@libero.it.
