PROJECT
Recipients: inmates of the Nisida Juvenile Prison

“Flight from Lisbon to Nisida-Naples, to dance with a group of young boys, in a situation of deprivation of liberty – says Caterina Câmara –. To dance. A verb to move between islands and galaxies of affection, bring bodies and cities closer, risk new human geometries. The aesthetics of the encounter based on a cartography of resistances and resonances, based on gestures that fade between the collective and the individual. How to delimit mine, yours, our space and use the laws of gravity in favor of the singularity of the encounter?
The ground sustains the pact between two or more bodies, the fall horizontalizes the language of creation. Advancing, retreating, occupying, invading, fleeing, negotiating, abandoning, resisting, re-existing are some of the landscape words that we will explore”.

They graduated as actresses from the Scuola del Teatro Stabile di Napoli founded by Luca De Filippo in 2018. Previously they obtained their training certificate at the Asylum Anteatro ai Vergini in Naples. They improved their training through several workshops and continued to work in theater and film. Founders of Putéca Celidònia, they organize workshops and socio-cultural activities and work on the production of many performances. In charge of the Quartieri di Vita 2022 project for the Juvenile Penal Institute of Nisida, they have been working for about three years with the prison group involved.

THE CONTEXT
Putéca Celidònia
Putéca Celidònia was born in 2018 upon the encounter of six actors of the School of the Teatro Stabile di Napoli, so they choose to build up a working group including other artistic and technical professionals. Afterwards they take over the management of two properties in Rione Sanità of Naples confiscated to camorra that have become a focal point and a stronghold for socio-cultural services. The work of this artistic group branches out into three parallel and intertwined paths: production, training, and context. Putéca receives the ANCT 2020 Award.
