ARA! ARA!
national premiere
Second part of a diptych ARA! ARA! continues to investigate the symbolic power of the flag, drawing on the folkloristic tradition of flag waving. ARA! ARA! is the designation of a symbol of a rising power that authorises a bird to represent itself. Not a majestic and fearsome raptor like the eagle. On the contrary, a bird that communicates fun and quietness: the parrot ARA. It was introduced to the circus for its acrobatic abilities which, together with the bright colours of its plumage and the ability to repeat sounds and words by imitation, made it a perfect animal for entertainment in captivity. — Ginevra Panzetti & Enrico Ticconi
