Caravaggio and Monteverdi | Teatri 35 and La Venexiana
The Project Pur ti Miro is an innovative concert experience by Teatri 35 together with La Venexiana. The actors recreate famous paintings by Caravaggio with amazing accuracy, which otherwise would require travelling from Italy to Potsdam, Odessa and the USA. La Venexiana creates the atmospheric space for this with well-known works by Claudio Monteverdi.
The choreography of the performance and the music are perfectly coordinated: musical accents are scenically integrated into the preparation and realisation of the actual painting in such a way that a wonderful overall concept is created and the audience is constantly amazed by the surprising effects.

Light and shadow in images and music
On a stage of colourful cloths, the three artists flip from one iconic visual moment to the next. Literally: because the moments of taking up position before the sudden pause in the spotlight were moments full of poetic drama – images for eternity, brought to life theatrically in the moment and in exciting choreography. The La Venexiana ensemble brought out the contrasts of the madrigals with a formidable continuo group. Without that which lies in the shadows, there can be no that which shines in the light.

Shock-frozen Bible stories
With just a few things and an arsenal of cloths for the various garments, mainly in red, white and black, miraculous transformations took place, resulting in images that seem like shock-frozen Bible stories. This marriage of hearing and seeing had a magical, sometimes even spiritual power.
