Square animals

In Cossila S. Grato, in the square adjacent to the churches, on the occasion of the patronal feast at 4.00 pm on Sunday 8 September, the show Square animals with Luisa Trompetto, directed by Manuela Tamietti, scenes and costumes by Laura Rossi will be presented.

Square animals wants to be a show that entertains, makes us reflect and tells, through the magic of puppet theater, the changes of an era that have led us to a smoother life, more comfortable but at the same time less compatible with the environment …

It is the story of a peasant woman, Luisona, who realizes she has no time because she is busy working all day; it has the land to cultivate and the animals to care for: the hens and the pig to feed, the cow to be milked, the sheep to be grazed and sheared, the wool to be spun, the dog and the horse to be comforted. The discovery that there is a “time” that you can use differently will introduce you to new things … but you will lose others and everything around you will change as you change color. The town will become a city, the natural elements will become artificial and will therefore start a completely different life: the peasant woman will find herself transformed into a perfect town.

The change of an era is told thanks to the circular rhythm of a song; everything that was more natural and respectful of the environment will become artificial and less beautiful and respectful. If you can’t go back, then how can you do it?

In the back, the dedication of Torello Viera: “The creativity of Lanificio Cerruti for our Biella“. And he added: «This recognition comes from a project by Lanificio Cerruti and Fondazione Pistoletto and represents a union of creativity. Together with my staff we wanted to create something for the UNESCO candidacy and we decided to combine the fabric with the creativity of Pistoletto. The painting has a profound value compared to a simple piece of fabric. I was thrilled because as soon as we made this proposal she was married to Michelangelo Pistoletto».

The meeting was also attended by Andrea Quaregna, Deputy Secretary-General of the Cassa di Risparmio di Biella Foundation.

The work is made with a 100% wool fabric of 460 gr with a double-canvas weave that allows the jacquard motif to be visible on both sides with contrasting shades. The Third Paradise logo – donated by Pistoletto and used as a logo-symbol of the UNESCO candidacy – is obtained thanks to the combination of over 1200 woven threads thanks to the Lanificio’s jacquard looms.

These are the words of the mayor of Biella Claudio Corradino: “I thank on behalf of the whole community for this beautiful gift that comes from Lanificio Cerruti and the Pistoletto Foundation, it is a further input towards the recognition of this Unesco title that we need for the relaunch of our territory. Thanks also go to the Cassa di Risparmio di Biella Foundation for the work it is doing in the race for candidacy. Perhaps in the past we were not good at communicating our territory outside, when instead it gave itself so much to the country on a historical, cultural and entrepreneurial level. This is the example, as it is happening for the infrastructures, of how important it is to act together in favor of the territory».
