Temporanea by/with Giorgiomaria Cornelio, Roberto Paci Dalò, Ida Travi. A weaving of voices – concert. Temporanea unites the visions and poetics of the three artists, an ensemble made of voices, instruments and electronics.

When the voice leaves the tower, the names spread on the ground and the sounds push them towards another understanding. Thus in poetry, beings, history, figures meet. And they meet in a particular place such as the minaret of Fasano. A point of evocation of oriental culture in the Itria Valley and its weaving school.

Ida Travi’s poetics is inscribed in the tension between orality and writing, a tension on which Ida Travi reflects in the essays L’aspetto orale della poesia and Poetica del basso continuo. In 2024 he published for Il Saggiatore the entire poetic series “I Tolki” i parlanti, in eight books. The Tolki are beings marked by language, they speak a language reduced to the bone and live in places where the clock has no power. In the poetic series of the Tolki there are many references to cinema: between the pages we glimpse the darkness of Robert Bresson, the captions of Jean-Luc Godard and the clear black and white of Italian neorealism. The poetic language of the Tolki proceeds and jams. Under the repetition flows a continuous and obstinate variation: something has skipped, something of time has broken. But not completely.
