“Steli/Reaction” is an urban, interactive project, with a great visual impact. A bridge between contemporary art and performance. A contemporary happening addressed to a wide ranging audience. “Reaction” is an innovative project realized by Stalker Teatro together with the Educational Department of Castello di Rivoli Contemporary Art Museum: one of the most important contemporary art museums in Europe.
The starting point of the research is a reflection on some art works from worldwide contemporary art heritage by Joseph Kosuth, Michelangelo Pistoletto, Christian Boltanski, Jannis Kounellis, Goshka Macuga…
The artistic core of Stalker Teatro have worked together since setting up the ‘Political Collective’ at Turin Academy of Fine Arts in 1975, the heyday of Italy’s post-68 cultural and political uproar. This has left an enduring mark on the company’s work which is characterised by a strong commitment to artistic experimentation within socially sensitive or challenging situations. Using a distinctive style developed from site-specific events, performance art and participatory theatre, Stalker Teatro have performed throughout all major locations and festivals in Europe. In 2009 Stalker Teatro was awarded by the prestigious national award “Franco Enriquez”. In 2014 the “community theatre” national award ANCT (National Association of Theatre Critics).
