Becoming with is a live performance that will take place on May 16, 17, and 18, 2024, in the historic Orsoni furnace, which has been producing enamel and gold leaf mosaics in Venice since 1888. The artistic project developed with Luisa Eugeni inaugurates the Orsoni Art & Culture program, which in this collaboration sees the historic furnace as the protagonist of the site-specific work produced by Orsoni Venice 1888 as part of the third edition of Alchimie Culturali, promoted by Confindustria Veneto in collaboration with Fondazione Bevilacqua La Masa and Fondazione Musei Civici.
Luisa Eugeni‘s multimedia and participatory artistic practice, together with the Sineumbra group of artists (Luisa Eugeni, Anna Jäger, Pilyon Jeong, Antonio Stella, Valerie Antonovna Usov, Raphael Wutz, Paolo Casali, Nives Acquaviva, Martino Luxich, Emanuele Pontecorvo), explores artisanal gestures within the framework of performing arts. For the creation of the immersive work, developed in the working environment of the furnace, the international group of artists is expanded thanks to the collaboration with musicians from the Benedetto Marcello Conservatory in Venice and the proximity to the artisans who daily carry out the work in the Orsoni furnace since 1888.
