The MACRO dedicates Studio 2 to Carmelo Bene with the exhibition "Una stanza per Bene. Tracce di quattro lavori di Carmelo Bene", curated by Claudio Fazzini, Giuseppe Garrera and Federico Primosig. The exhibition stems from the discovery of unpublished materials, mostly photographic, related to the early performances of the actor and director. Four chapters reconstruct the history of "Addio porco", "Caligola", "Salomè" and "S.A.D.E.", staged between 1959 and 1974, all marked by the desire to escape theatrical conventions and audience expectations. The itinerary brings together archival documents and private collections, bringing to light traces of stage experiences that seemed lost and offering the opportunity to reinterpret the beginnings of an extreme and nonconformist artist. The exhibition is organized by the MACRO Museum.
