Cleopatrà s, Novate Milanese, Casa Testori, Largo Angelo Testori corner of Via Dante, with Arianna Scommegna

The penultimate day of the Giorni Felici 2010 exhibition. From the virtual stage of the first-floor bathrooms, Testori’s Cleopatra comes to life to celebrate the conclusion of the Giorni Felici exhibition. Arianna Scommegna was a guest at Casa Testori and will bring to the stage Cleopatrà s, one of Giovanni Testori’s last and most successful works.

The actress is among the 22 artists of Giorni Felici, with an installation occupying the two first-floor bathrooms: in the right-hand bathroom, the video of the performance Cleopatrà s is projected, showing Scommegna painting the landscapes of her beloved Brianza onto her own clothes; in the left-hand bathroom, the painted stage costumes are laid out to dry.

On the occasion of the exhibition’s finissage, the actress will perform the magnificent text in the writer’s birthplace.
