EFFIMERIA is a long-term artistic and cultural project. It deals with the theme of death, inextricably linked to those of life, health and illness. All strong words, but which do not describe anything definite, since it is not possible to draw the exact border between one and the other.



 

EFFIMERIA started from the observation that most of us in the West go through experiences around death in a highly traumatic way.

 

This is the reality, but it is not the only one, and certainly not the only one possible. Our traditions and those of others give us the possibility of living these painful moments with a more positive spirit. EFFIMERIA’s research points to life and the living, to seek the space for reflections, dialogues, suggestions, that will change these experiences. 


One can laugh at death, one can make poetry of it, one can certainly celebrate it and consider it a teacher. Because the experience of the limit is useful: it validates what exists.

Rarely people like to talk about death... In the age of eternal youth and materialism, who wants to think about what gets old, gets sick, gets oily?! Unfortunately, death happens to everyone. And it will always catch us unprepared and alone, until we learn to 'come to our senses' and put death back where it has always been: close, natural, acceptable.



 

The primary objective of EFFIMERIA is to open a space that is currently not there and to dialogue through more than one language, in more than one moment, in more than one place, in order to give voice, without giving lessons, to a real, verifiable need; an urgency that cuts across social classes, religions, genders, ethnicities, ages. And that is the need to express and process human experiences around death, since the alternatives to sharing are isolation, pain and despair.



 

EFFIMERIA wants to reflect with grace, with irony, with poetry, perhaps with lightness and with all the other colours that are useful to free death from the dark sphere of frightening taboo.


 2015-2018

 

 

 

 

EFFIMERIA organised in Canavese, Italy and abroad research and study sessions, debates, research on culinary expressions around death, work in progress creations and several performances. Thanks to all those who supported the project, in many different ways, we were able to meet a wide audience and open many spaces for sharing and reflection.

 

The following were organised as part of the research programme

 

- study sessions on local traditional material at the Canavese Ethnological Centre / Centro Etnologico Canavesano

- study sessions on the relationship between food and illness with Chef Giovanni Allegro

- study sessions on creative ways to deal with death, at the ASLTO4 "Narravita" study group 

- study sessions on the history and anthropology of death, with thanatologist Marina Sozzi, President of InfineONLUS

- study sessions on the reality of end-of-life in Italy, at Hospice di Salerano

- study sessions on the problems of the doctor-patient relationship, at the OFFICINA-H Training and Research Centre / Polo di Formazione e Ricerca OFFICINA-H of the University of Turin, Faculty of Nursing Professions of Ivrea and with the Bioethicist Giusi Venuti

 

Numerous events open to the public were organised

- three conference-shows, coordinated by the philosopher Sophie Brunodet, with speakers of recognised expertise from all over Italy, one of which was hosted at the 'La Grande Invasione' literature festival in Ivrea, another hosted by the II National Congress of Narrative Medicine

- a theatre production on mourning processing, based on the 5 phases of Kubler-Ross:: MEMENTO

- una residenza artistica di sei mesi tra Italia e Brasile per sei artisti di quattro diverse culture, che hanno dato vita allo spettacolo di ricerca “SPIRO” e all'installazione artistica "THE GARDEN" in collaborazione con l'artista brasiliano Baghavan David.

- un'installazione artistica itinerante, a cura dell'artista canavesano Luca Zurzolo, ispirata alla relazione tra vita e morte nel ciclo naturale della crescita e del consumo degli alimenti

- un banchetto teatrale capitanato dallo chef di fama nazionale Giovanni Allegro, esperto di cucina salutistica e di relazione tra alimentazione  e malattia

- una produzione teatrale conclusiva del progetto, AMARSIAMORSI, national premiere in April 2018 at the Festival POVERARTE di Bologna. AMARSIAMORSI was awarded with the “Special Mention Award for a Performance by International Artist” at the Bangkok Theatre Festival in Thailand in 2018.
