It is both institution and diplomacy, bureaucracy and residence, representation and protection, organization and prestige. It is a layered system in which invisible and continuous work coexists with moments of public display-where openness and closure, interior and exterior, coexist.  <br\/><strong>How can this symbolic universe be translated into a fashion show?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Sha Ribeiro and Jacopo Bedussi&#8217;s artistic direction of the Lisbon leg of the GTA took shape in the event <strong>REPEAT THE ACTION<\/strong>, a fashion show that explores repetition as both a technical tool and a transformative practice. The concept draws inspiration from a conversation between choreographer <strong>Lenio Kaklea<\/strong> and curator <strong>Caroline Bourgeois<\/strong> about the work of <strong>Bruce Nauman<\/strong>, specifically the idea that &#8220;freedom is a form of discipline&#8221; and that repetition is necessary in order to progress. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Here repetition is not mere reiteration, but insistence: a continuous coming and going through which qualitative change takes place. Practice &#8211; doing and redoing &#8211; creates a threshold beyond which gestures are transformed.<br\/>What initially appears complex or unnatural, through repeated engagement, becomes fluid, accessible and charged with new meanings. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Fashion is presented as a virtuous system, capable of challenging the conformity of traditional staging. The fashion show proposes an open and permeable dialogue in which individual creative proposals coexist with hybrid forms &#8211; music, dance, performance &#8211; all converging on common themes: the body, sociality, collectivity, exchange. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At the same time, <strong>REPEAT THE ACTION<\/strong> goes beyond the classic fashion show format, embracing the <strong>performance dimension as an essential part of the narrative<\/strong>. The body in space, sound and rhythm become materials of exploration, merging with clothes and gestures to create a multidisciplinary experience. The project also involves local talent from Lisbon, fostering new encounters and exchanges that enrich the dialogue between different cultural and artistic contexts.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This is not a collective work in the conventional sense, but a constellation of individual paths that together create something greater than the sum of the individual parts. Disciplines intertwine, hierarchies dissolve and boundaries-both material and metaphorical-fall away. In this joyful loss of boundaries, in the unexpected transformation of the real into celebration, a sense of new visionary hope emerges.  <\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"author":19,"featured_media":6294,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"inline_featured_image":false},"package":[],"class_list":["post-4109","evento","type-evento","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/grandtourafam.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/evento\/4109","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/grandtourafam.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/evento"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/grandtourafam.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/evento"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/grandtourafam.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/19"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/grandtourafam.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/6294"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/grandtourafam.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=4109"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"package","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/grandtourafam.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/package?post=4109"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
