demo station: Associazione A.m.a.dà – Philosophical and Poetic Workshop

Performance

Associazione A.m.a.dà presents Philosophical and Poetic Workshop.

(Ages 8–13)
with Marian Mazzei*
The Book of Questions is the last great work by Pablo Neruda, published posthumously in 1974: a collection of poetic questions that offer no answers, but instead open up new horizons. Light and profound questions, ironic and poignant, that move through nature, time, childhood, and mystery, inviting us to look at the world with fresh eyes and to be surprised by what we thought we already knew.
Children will learn to see with new eyes; they will be carried away by imagination and creative thinking, seeking original and unique solutions.
*A graduate in philosophy, dancer and dance therapist, she has brought together her greatest passions to guide children on a journey that is both magical and philosophical at the same time.

Text curated by Associazione A.m.a.dà.

 

The event takes place on Rirkrit Tiravanija’s installation untitled 2026 (demo station no. 9). The stage-like structure invites people to “demonstrate” something. The combination of the words demo and station in the work’s title refers respectively to the abbreviation of demonstration—understood both as a protest and as a presentation of someone’s talent or hobby —and to station, that is, an accessible place where such “demonstrations” can occur. For the duration of the exhibition, the installation provides a space for daily public activations.
