Trialogue is an imaginary and joyful conversation between three characters raising questions about architects’ social responsibility, migration and fascism, culture as a colonial tool, and sexism in architecture. The play sets in Casa del Mutilato, a fascist building in Palermo, Sicily, while the architect, Giuseppe Spatrisano receives the visit of the couple Lina Bo Bardi and Pietro Maria Bardi. Trialogue collects quotes and real facts from the existing characters articulating their positions in a trial atmosphere, which there is not one accuser and one defendant but it is a judgement on morality in the practice of architecture.
The performance, in English, is curated by the architect and artist Tatiana Letier Pinto, researcher in the Decolonizing Architecture programme. The event is presented in collaboration with the Kungliga Konsthögskolan (Royal Institute of Art) in Stockholm during the annual Research Week, when artistic research and development projects are presented by faculty, doctoral candidates, researchers and other invited people.
Trialogue will be performed by Alica Tserkovnaja as Lina Bo Bardi, Björn Vårajö as Pietro Maria Bardi and Antonio Tengroth as Giuseppe Spatrisano.
In the same evening, the Institute will present the installation ”In the Future Past” by the Swedish artist Malin Pettersson Öberg.
