SUMMARY:POSTCARDS FROM ITALY feat. Sinan Arat
DESCRIPTION:At Matrix Rotterdam, the modular project of Duo Bottasso takes on a more intimate form: a concert shaped by archival cinema, acoustic instruments, and intercultural encounter.\nEarly 20th-century Italian films —once conceived as cinematic postcards— trace cities, landscapes, labour, and political struggles from a country in rapid transformation, in the years preceding the authoritarian crisis of fascism. These images return not as nostalgia, but as living material: fragments through which to question how memory travels, how histories sediment, and how the past continues to reverberate in the present.\nFor this postcard, Duo Bottasso invites Sinan Arat to join the project with his ney. Carried by breath and shaped by centuries of transmission, its sound introduces another geography into the work—one that speaks of crossings, displacement, gifts and exchanges, and of traditions circulating beyond fixed borders. Of what moves along mountain paths or across the sea, sometimes in secrecy, sometimes in freedom—at its own pace, following its own cycles.\nwith:\nNicolò Bottasso: violin, tenor d’amore violin, live visuals\nSimone Bottasso: organetto, bells, live electronics\nAgnese Valmaggia: e-drums\nfeat.\nSinan Arat: ney\nDoors open 19.30\nFootage by courtesy of\nEYE Filmmuseum – Amsterdam\nThanks to Istituto Italiano di Cultura di Amsterdam, Istituto\nErnesto de Martino, Archivio Audiovisivo del Movimento\nOperaio e Democratico, C.R.I.C.D.\nWith the support of Norma Fonds.\n
