aarduork presents, in collaboration with MOLT, the documentation of the evening held at Bocciofila San Sebastiano on May 5, 2026.

A breath rising into a strained crescendo introduces a "reading" in which violence, care, and revolution surface. A parabolic microphone captures and amplifies the ambient noise, creating controlled feedback loops between a male voice and the space marked out by the columns of the Bocciofila. A figure bursts in, dancing, at times harmonious, at times convulsive, over a drone generated from Madonna's Hung Up. Two cherubs enter the scene attempting to restore order and cleanliness to the space; they read out a list made of dirty bodies, dirty spaces, they play bocce, they sing and moan. And then a crooner sings in a heartfelt voice, while little by little all the other figures move into play in the background, and a distorted echo envelops the transformed space.

The event, curated by MOLT, explored play as a social and spatial device, framing it as a site of informal gathering where everyday rituals, playful interactions, and intergenerational exchanges naturally unfold. Through sound, movement, and spoken word, the work gradually activated Bocciofila S. Sebastiano as a living archive, shaped by memory, habit, and non-linear time.

— MOLT is a curatorial project founded in 2023 and composed of Max Michel Thillaye, Elena Francalanci, Virginia Valeri, Madelen Isa Lindgren, and Andrea Bambini. Since 2023, they have been producing events starting from research into spaces that usually serve other functions, seeking to integrate these environments and their architectures into the work of visual artists, musicians, and performers.

performing artist:
Ruben Spini, Tobias Koch, Elena Francalanci, Roman Ole.

about
aarduork was born in the storm.

It’s an artists' space for b–side practices, undercover artists,
