La fabbrica e’ piena – Tragicommedia in otto atti
Irene Dionisio | 2011 | Italy | 55’
“Let's go." "We can't." "Why not?" "We're waiting for Godot.” (cit. Waiting for Godot, S. Beckett)
October 2010. Fiat Grandi Motori, historical Torinese plant, is about to be demolished to leave room for a shopping centre. On the inside a homeless Romanian couple, modern Beckett heroes, together with a silent veteran of the abandoned factory, nicknamed the delegated administrator, live in limbo between desperation and hysteric euphoria, between goodbyes, partings, and sudden returns, repressed violence and profound humanity. The factory in decay becomes the stage of their personal and archetype “tragicomedia”, whose last act is protracted at the last phase of the final demolition.
Irene Dionisio, born in 1986, after graduating in aesthetic and social philosophy at the university of Torino with the thesis Christopher Lash- come sopravvivere al capitalismo obtains the Master in Cinema and Philosophy at UPJV of Amiens. In 2010 she studies the Master of documentarism with Daniele Segre and Marco Bellochio and successively the Master IED directed by Marazzi, a documentary film maker. Presently she works as a director and videoartist in Piedmont with the association Fluxlab. Her research is concentrated on the evolution of identity/individual correlating to the social and economic change and to the representation of change.
