为期三天的第六届EDIT Napoli–独立原创设计展于10月11日至13日在那不勒斯档案馆举行。作为EDIT CULT项目的一部分，Alcantara携手日本建筑大师隈研吾，为那不勒斯圣卡洛剧院的《西蒙·波卡涅拉》设计特别舞台，为大众带来了一场视听盛宴。

Naples – 11th October, 2024 For the sixth edition of EDIT Napoli – the independent and authorial design fair held at Archivio di Stato in Naples from 11th to 13th October – among the exhibitions of the EDIT CULT program is the special staging of the Simon Boccanegra for the Teatro di San Carlo, a collaboration between Alcantara and Kengo Kuma.

建筑大师隈研吾通过对威尔第的歌剧进行全面研究，深入挖掘了歌剧中的叙事与视觉元素。他将这部以利剑与匕首为主题、以热那亚为背景的故事，与那不勒斯的歌剧院进行了巧妙呼应，着重凸显了这两个海洋城市之间千丝万缕的联系：它们都是多元文化的融合交汇点。同时，借助巧妙的类比手法，隈研吾这位杰出日本建筑师的个人历程与那不勒斯的深厚渊源被生动而形象地展现出来：这一联系巧妙地构建于自然界中泥土与水的火元素交融之上，以及那不勒斯地区因火山活动而独具特色的地貌之中。

Giuseppe Verdi’s opera has been studied in all its argumentative and visual parts by the great architect Kengo Kuma. The cloak and dagger story, set in Genoa, is echoed in the temple of Opera in Naples, underlining the link between the two maritime cities, both of which have been cultural crossroads.  At the same time, the analogy with the Japanese architect’s personal history finds a link with Naples through a landscape deeply marked by the presence of volcanoes, through the connection with an earthy and liquid nature under the symbol of fire.

“Shiwa Shiwa”是隈研吾先生选择的标题，意为“折叠皱褶”，深刻体现了一个源自日本的独特理念，该理念与自然的蜿蜒曲折、难以琢磨的形态、流动不息的特质、不稳定的状态以及恒常变迁的本质紧密相连。他通过使用700平方米穿孔Alcantara环绕剧院舞台，完美诠释了这一理念，使其成为与合唱团和管弦乐队的声音进行隔空对话的主要角色。

“Shewa Shiwa” is the title chosen by Kuma, which means fold-wrinkle and refers to a Japanese concept relating to the curvature of nature, its elusiveness, its mobility, its instability and its constant transformation. This idea is expressed in a seven hundred square metre surface of perforated Alcantara that surrounds the theatre stage, occupying it as the main character, in dialogue with the voices of the choir and the orchestra.

这个布置动感十足：波浪形Alcantara材料在Filippo Cannata精心策划的灯光效果下，犹如潮水般在空中翻涌。色彩随着音乐强弱变化而不断变换，为观众创造了一场如梦似幻的视听通感体验。

There is nothing static about the set: waves of material swirl in the air and, above all, are powerfully animated by the direction of the lights, curated by Filippo Cannata. This creates a true visual-sound synaesthesia in the viewer, chromatically following the intensity of the music.

大面积飘逸的白色穿孔造型Alcantara材料交相呼应，呈现出独特的视觉之美。这些通过光线被物体遮挡所呈现的光效，随着光线的强度和角度变化，形成了与谷崎润一郎在《阴翳礼赞》中所赞美的阴翳之美呼应的半影效果。神秘半影与至纯至臻的晶莹光泽完美融合，唤起人们对圣塞韦罗礼拜堂中“蒙纱的基督”朦胧和空灵感的回忆，诠释了其超凡脱俗的艺术性和美学价值。同时，这种金属般闪耀的效果，让人联想到《波卡涅拉》的故事中交织的盔甲和刀剑。

The chosen point of whiteness and the perforation of the material accentuate a vibrant light effect that changes completely according to intensity and angle, combining the values of penumbra – recalling Tanizaki’s seminal essay “In Praise of Shadows” – with the purest, most crystalline light. This evokes an idea of the softness and impalpability inspired by the Veiled Christ in the Sansevero Chapel. At the same time, the effect is almost shimmering and metallic, reminiscent of the armour and blades of the battles with which the story of Boccanegra is interwoven.

在隈研吾先生的创意构想中，Alcantara漩涡状波纹成为歌剧院设计的象征，展现出一个包罗万象、引人入胜的艺术大师殿堂之作，将观众深深吸引其中。

In Kengo Kuma’s vision, the wave of Alcantara, with its constantly moving swirls, becomes the emblem of the opera’s action, a truly all-encompassing work of art into which the spectator is drawn.

得益于这次合作，Alcantara以圣卡洛歌剧院标志性的红色为灵感，匠心打造了阳台和包厢座椅的装饰，为这个历史悠久的那不勒斯剧院增添了奢华质感。

Thanks to this partnership, Alcantara embellishes the furnishings of the Teatro di San Carlo with the material that, in the iconic nuance of red theatrical, dresses some chairs of the boxes and the balcony of the historic Neapolitan opera.
