CANTIERE #54
With his 54th Circo in Pillole, Roberto Magro opens the doors of a research workshop that will later lead second-year students to create “Lato B”, their end-of-year performance.
For first-year students, this will instead be an opportunity to experiment with collective work connected to physical research involving an everyday object placed in an extra-ordinary context.
