Art, Carlson-Bill Viola: encounters on the water at Palazzo Bonaparte

She is the undisputed lady of contemporary dance, he is the absolute pioneer of video art. For the first time Carolyn Carlson and Bill Viola will meet in the halls of Palazzo Bonaparte in Rome, once the residence of Letizia Ramolino, madame mère, the mother of the French Emperor (one evening on June 23 for 3 performances). An itinerant performance, almost ‘a dialogue’ on water, conceived by the great American director, choreographer and dancer, ‘académicienne de France’ alongside Blanca Li, Thierry Malandain and Angelin Preljocaj, for the ‘Icons of Light’ exhibition, currently in program inside the halls of the historic building, which sees her protagonist next to Sara Orselli, the Italian soloist of her company.
