AGNESE MATTANO AND YOUNG PEOPLE AT THE JUVENILE DETENTION CENTER "SICILIANI" IN BOLOGNA

ITALY | 2017 | 15’

The docu-clip is born from a reflection of the guys of the "Sicilians" Criminal Institute and the Public Community of Bologna on the concept of hero. Starting with the heroes of ancient Greece, by the gesture of Achilles, Aiace and Ulisses, the boys are investigating the transposition of these figures in our times. Research goes out from the walls within which the lab is being conducted, going to question the population of Bologna on the big question: "who is a hero?".

Agnese Mattanò, after studying theater in Naples, moves to Paris to attend the Ecole de mime corporel dramatique directed by S. Wasson and C. Soum. Then she takes part of the acting company Théatre de l'ange fou, taking part in several international festivals and holding seminars on miming in Paris, Naples and Korea. Once moved to Bologna, she studies as an educater and she contributes to the foundation of the cooperative Teatro del Pratello. She now implements video laboratories for schools, ministerial communities and juvenile detention centers.
