Niggunim | Nobori is a site-speific performance presented on July 20, 2018 in Marzocca di Senigallia at Demanio Marittimo Km- 278.
Niggunim | Nobori is connected with Niggunim but focuses on the spatiality and sacredness related with the area where the art is performed. Also Japanese banners with characteristic long and narrow shape, the Nobori — also known as Sashimono — are used to circumscribe the sacral area of the artistic event
These are raised to the four corners of the area in which Roberto Paci Dalò performs at dawn, at the auroral moment of the rising day.

Press kit

Roberto Paci Dalò collaborates with Andrea Anastasio, Alessandro Sciarroni Unnamed, Ritual Space — a project curated by Davide Quadrio — specially designed for the eighth edition of Demanio Marittimo Km-278.
Demanio Marittimo. Km-278 is an event dedicated to architecture, arts and design, in collaboration with MAXXI in Rome, Museum of Arts from the XXI century. It takes place at the Marzocca coast of Senigallia.
Unnamed, Ritual Space includes a conversation, an installation and two performances on the beach of Senigallia. Specifically, Roberto Paci Dalò performs to mark the contributions of Andrea Anastasio (Sinopie) and Alessandro Sciarroni (Don’t be afraid).

Three artistic contributions

Several international artists are called to converse at night — until the rising sun — about the current state of contemporary art.
Readings and debates workshops and live performances alternate with each other.
The event starts with a conversation between Davide Quadrio, Cristiana Colli — creator of Demanio Marittimo — and Andrea Anastasio, artist and designer. A square 10×10 stage stands out mysteriously along the beach. The same stage that hosts the three artistic contributions of Anastasio, Paci Dalò and Sciarroni who “look at the human being in his image as eroded but not denied, also absolute space, determined, individual”, as the curator Davide Quadrio claims.
The stage that hosts Anastasio’s installation, Sinopie, becomes the place for the two performances Don’t be afraid of turning the page by Sciarroni and Niggunim | Nobori di Paci Dalò, with which the event ideally ends.

The sun rises and the musician begins

The new day comes to life in the purple atmosphere of the summer dawn.
It brings to light the sacred confines of the scenic action. The mysterious place of the event is a square stage, a small pomerium where the sun is about to rise.
Four fighters reach the stage with slow and late steps. With their glassy eyes they seem to warn bystanders of the exceptionality of what is about to happen: an artistic performance at the dawn of a new day.
Semi-religious and meditative, the performers hold up the Nobors, the emblems of war.
The artist from Niggunim is already waiting for them. He begins the rite of which he is the creator and interpreter.
The sun rises and the musician begins.
The notes of his clarinet follow one another as the cosmic order of day and night changes.
The things of the world – that the light makes such to its manifestation – and the melody of the new Orpheus seem to be corresponding.
The musician plays and the fighters mark the rhythm with soft hints of their arms. They lead the beautiful melody towards the day that arrives, towards dawn.
The gesture of art is always the dawn.
