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 #3085 , 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!
