RIFRAZIONI

our new italian PLATOON.members are creating a buzz on the seaside just few miles outside Rome. art collective CERCLE is in fact organizing the third edition of RIFRAZIONI – an international festival of performative, visual and musical arts.




protagonists of this edition will be London based collective „Leibniz“, represented by Ernst Fisher and Helen Spackman and by Chilean collective „Deformes“, masterminded by Gonzalo Rabanal, one of Chile´s most innovative exponents of performing arts. Berlin collective „Invasor“ will also take part in the initiative along with members of the Brazilian group "Teatro Oficina" and several other Swiss and Italian artists.









the locations of the festival (a mediaeval castle overlooking the beach and the ruins of the ancient Nero Villa) will be a source of inspiration for the many creatives involved; their engagement with the local reality will bring new works into life wich somehow will have as result an elaboration and re-interpretation of the local identity.


interventions in theatre, dance, cinema, photography and visual arts will follow contemporary social topics such as: politics of the body, migration and social exclusion.





RIFRAZIONI wants to diversify the cultural offer in the area, aiming at interdisciplinary cross-overs in a sort of contamination between the arts and global cultures. the festival, in fact, presents itself as a „free zone„ for the interaction of several disciplines, genres and contemporary forms of communication.


...if you happen to be in the area during the end of august you should definitely go and check it out!

running from the 22 - 31 august 2008

JONG WHA PARK -PIANIST-

last week we all went to the french cathedral to listen to the berlin international classical music festival and especially to watch the extraordinary performance of JONG WHA PARK, a good friend of PLATOON, whom we met in seoul:.

he played in the master series, executing works of schumann, bach and chopin.
it was great! only set back was the bad acoustics in the room -there was a sort of echo that was distracting the artist, first of all, but also the audience. It´s kind of strange that no one thought about it beforehand.















nonetheless the pianist was brilliant. a wonderful piano-concert.; the listeners applauded enthusiastically and JONG gave us 4 extras.

Trolleybooks at PLATOON

Trolleybooks at PLATOON has been an amazing event! we are very glad to have met Gigi and Hannah, they are two very special persons and we really enjoyed exchanging views with them... and i guess the same goes for them...in fact Gigi is now, as he likes to say, PLATOON member number 1! and i can assure you that we also switched completely in a TROLLEY-Mood these days.

a special thanks goes also to all of you who came....we knew that it wasnt going to be pleasant, but life is not pleasant sometimes, and that reminds us that we can actually do something about it....each of us in our own way.
we sincerely hope something moved inside you... at some point i was literally shaking.

Lucky Michaels – photographer of Shelter - also delivered his message extraordinarly. we still have his exhibition in our recruitment office..in fact you are very welcome to come and have a closer look this week, before we send them back to London.


the day after the event, Gigi&Hannah left for Dubrovnik with their Trolley-van...this man is on a serious mission, and it´s a very noble one, the one against any form of injustice! Big up for you Trolley warriors, we at PLATOON are completely on your side and hope to see you again sometimes soon.

watch ! opening of the PLATOON.recruitment office

...many thanx to all of you for celebrating with us
last week! here our video capturing the day

PLATOON presents Trolleybooks

following the wave of new recruits we had after the opening day, we are really glad to invite you to another recruitment.session here at PLATOON.


for the occasion we´ll have a slideshow evening organized and presented by Gigi Giannuzzi, publisher and director of Trolleybooks, an independent publishing house specialized in social documentary and photo-journalism, who will present some of his latest publications here at PLATOON.


Trolleybooks has been often described as guerrilla style reportage bordering with contemporary art. a description really fitting PLATOON´s tradition of culturally involved events.


it´ll be a special evening presenting the latest Trolley slideshows of new and forthcoming books, featuring:


‘A Million Shillings - Escape from Somalia’ by Alixandra Fazzina
