Cinque Dispositivi in Uno

The first collaborative performance by Grossi Maglioni in which the artists appear without costume or disguise, inaugurating a new phase in their research. Central to the work is a multifunctional sculptural object that combines a teleportation machine, spirit cabinet, séance table, Ouija board, and catafalque for transformations. This mutable structure functions as both prop and tool, reactivating past performances and characters to counter the ephemeral nature of live art while generating new narratives that intertwine archival and lived experiences. By creating a device capable of transformation, the artists offer audiences ways to revisit the work beyond its initial staging. Presented as a late-night infomercial, the performance-lecture hovers between irony and sincere recounting, revealing the project’s origins, mythologies, and imagined functions.
