Anna Rispoli with Lotte Lindner & Till Steinbrenner |
Italy, Belgium
A trip into the future of yesterday
Like a look out tower in a field of dreams past, the Dutch Pavilion stands at the border between the city of Hanover and the plain of Lower Saxony. Ten years ago it was hailed as a symbiosis of nature and technology, and then abandoned to its own devices. But this utopia is not easily obliterated. While the surrounding buildings have been demolished or put to new uses, the Dutch Pavilion has defied the weather, time and indeed oblivion. It is not dead, it is asleep. The Italian artist, Anna Rispoli, will awaken it to a renewed life.
Together with the Hanover artists Lotte Lindner & Till Steinbrenner, Rispoli scrutinizes past utopias of our present, while, at the same, keeping a keen eye on the future. Specially created for Theaterformen, this dramatic intervention collects voices from the city, explores contemporary concepts for the use of the former Expo sites and takes the viewer on a meditative walk through the ages.
