By merging slam poetry with 360\u00b0 video-mapping inside planetariums, the project explored new ways of engaging audiences and expanding the possibilities of poetic performance.<\/span><\/p>\n

The performance was built on <\/span>Radici<\/span><\/i>, a poem by <\/span>Eleonora Fisco<\/b>, which explores the fragile boundary between dialogue and conflict in the choices of those who remain in marginal or depopulating places\u2014such as her native Sicilian town\u2014and those who leave in search of opportunity, while facing the practical and emotional weight of voluntary exile.<\/span><\/p>\n

In collaboration with students from <\/span>Aalto University in Helsinki<\/b>, <\/span>Radici<\/span><\/i> was translated into an immersive environment. During a five-day artistic residency, a virtual avatar was created to mirror the poet\u2019s movements in real time through the use of a motion capture suit.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

For the performances at the <\/span>Tartu Planetarium (Estonia)<\/b> as part of the <\/span>Prima Vista Festival<\/span><\/i> and at the <\/span>Brussels Planetarium<\/b> during the <\/span>Brussels Poetry Festival<\/span><\/i>, the work evolved into a 360\u00b0 animation projected inside the dome, enhanced by a generative <\/span>soundscape created from migration data<\/b>, adding an autonomous yet thematically resonant layer to the performance.<\/span><\/p>\n

An accompanying <\/span>zine\/poster<\/b> combined riso-printed stills from the animation with the bilingual text of <\/span>Radici<\/span><\/i>, offering audiences a tangible extension of the immersive poetic journey.<\/span><\/p>\n
