Forget the Theater – Go to the Stadium (2018)

Forget the Theatre – Go to the Stadium documents all of the times that the italian word “dai” (in english “c’mon”) was used by the leaders of the ultras group Brescia 1911 during Brescia vs. Catania, 2015. The word “dai” is commonly used as an exhortation to urge the group to participate in the chanting. The title provocatively criticises the supposed participatory nature of many art works. I’ve always found greater participation in football stadiums than in any other artistic context.
