Mi Daran Tomba..e Pace Forse is a sound based performance created for Live Works Volume 3 in collaboration with Jason Thompson and Andre Halyard. The work draws upon the legacy of Opera singer Leontyne Price, the historic continuum of Triumph in the Italian imagination and the notion of protecting monuments in a sociocultural landscape that uses monuments to forget. The work employs a Triumphal arch echoing the Arco della Pace di Parco Sempione created from scaffolding, a monumental sculptural rendering of Leontyne Price, sandbags as sound instruments, and a marching orchestra in a work that explores the updating of a monument, the barricading of history and the skeletal armature of Expansionism.

The work was performed with:
Giulia Buvoli
Nicoletta Tiberini
Alessandra Bordiga
Alberto Mamberti
Mosé Risaliti
Andrea Potrich

and The Banda Sociale di Dro:
