Parsec, in collaboration with the Eden ASD Association, presents Container: a project aimed at children and teenagers who, through art and sports, will address issues of the body understood as a container and mediator with the surrounding environment.
A journey, far and wide, toward self-discovery, the way individuals relate to the outside world and the world that surrounds and includes us. Sports and arts will be the main characters of the activities.
Parkour, aerial fabrics, trapeze and capoeira will dialogue with three artistic-creative workshops that will take place simultaneously with the sports activities over three days.
The workshops, through different artistic languages, will address the theme of the body and space following three main strands: the inner investigation of the body, the relationship it has with the surrounding external space and the element that divides the two, namely the skin, a subtle boundary that delimits and defines an inside and an outside, understood as the first opening to the world. These will be designed and adapted from time to time to the target audience. The participantə, on the same day, will therefore do both the target sports activity and the workshop.
At the end of these meetings there will be an event open to all in which to confront each other, return what has emerged during the workshops and expand the debate on the body thanks to the interventions of an artist and an athlete who, through their personal experience, will bring further stimuli to the great theme and journey around the body.
