Terrarium and the publishing house ExCogita have officially launched Per-Forma, a new series of events dedicated to reading and the performing arts. The inaugural event featured Patrizia Lombardo and her collection of poems ‘ogni parte insieme’ (every part together), opening a dialogue between words, music and images in an intimate and engaging atmosphere.

Patrizia Lombardo: a voice from eastern Liguria

Patrizia Lombardo, born in 1963, originally from the Ligurian Riviera, brings with her a wealth of experience ranging from poetry to visual poetry and theatre. In ‘ogni parte insieme’ (every part together), Patrizia explores contemporary issues with a profound and original perspective, guiding us on a journey between the Gulf of La Spezia and life ‘under the house’.

‘Every part together’: emotions between metrics and visions

The collection, published by ExCogita in the Le Astarti series, presents itself as a polyptych of emotions, as Stella Poli pointed out in her preface. Patrizia’s verses, while inspired by the tradition of the sonnet, break free into new and unexpected forms, creating an intense and evocative reading experience.

The event at Terrarium was a real feast for the senses. The musical reading by Vincenzo Rende and Lara Cerutti enhanced the beauty and depth of Patrizia’s poems, while the final refreshments with local products offered an opportunity to share impressions and reflections in a convivial atmosphere.

A cultural laboratory that promotes the local area

With the launch of Per-Forma, Terrarium confirms its status as a dynamic cultural laboratory with a focus on the local area, capable of creating synergies between art, literature, music and food and wine. A place where ideas take shape and culture becomes experience.

Per-Forma is just getting started. Stay tuned to find out about upcoming events and let yourself be surprised by the magic of the performing arts at Terrarium!
