CATAPULT #Bergamo

body and sensory laboratory curated by the FAGLIE Project.

 

Catapulta is a physical and sensorial laboratory designed for the Walls of Bergamo, a UNESCO heritage site.

 

Catapulta transforms the Walls from a place of defense and border to a space of communication and memory.

Participants experience how the body generates traces of experience, which are reworked into words and phrases, then expressed through a megaphone to catapult them beyond the Walls. In this way, the physical boundary becomes a space for openness, dialogue, and communication.

 

Catapulta offers an experience where body, words, and memory intertwine to transform the Walls into a space of openness and community. Participants become living memories of the place, while the messages symbolically catapulted beyond the Walls represent the possibility of transcending boundaries and building bridges between individual, collective, and historical experiences.

 

Project objectives:

• Crossing boundaries through messages

• Keeping alive the memory of the gestures, movements and history of the place

• Transforming the Walls into a living and participatory space

• Stimulate reflection on physical, symbolic and historical borders

• Promote communication and expressiveness through body, words and sound

• Bringing the memory of space and experience alive

• Ensure inclusiveness and accessibility for all participants
