RUSTY S. & PITTI BLUE I-IV is a one-act multimedia performance in eight fragments performed by a spectral cast of objects, sculptures and costumes activated by a sound and light score. The piece relies on a frantic layering of text, sculptures, costumes, recorded music, tape and paper collages, actions and gestures, horizontally sequenced spaces, blaring screens and performed images. The protagonists are RUSTY S. & PITTI BLUE, two death-like-mechanical puppets, sculpturally crafted from a mosaic of found and residual materials scattered by a blaze at the Baraccopoli di Lungo Stura Lazio, Turin.
An audience of mannequins, retrieved from past works, is cut into pieces and fiberglassed back together in Frankenstein-like anthropomorphic shapes: their sleep interrupted by fifteen minutes of feverish dreams, spiraling them out of their bodies in psychedelic scenettes set between ‘’the stage’’, a wall of projection and two collages. Power plays, spleens, and lullabies are mixed and merged as allegories to the age of total anesthesia.
RUSTY S. & PITTI BLUE I-IV has been produced between Turin, Amsterdam and Florence and realized with the support of NAM at Manifattura Tabacchi.
