The main theme of his art was the human figure; his nude paintings became a societal scandal, inspired by both the Renaissance and the popular African art of his time: Amedeo Clemente Modigliani (1884–1920) was an extraordinary artist. During his lifetime, he had little success, but after his death, he gained greater popularity—fueled additionally by the mysterious aura that surrounded him. The sparse information about Modigliani's life is based on only a few documented sources, leading to the formation of legends after his much too early death—he died at the age of 35 from tuberculosis. The life of this artist will be brought to the stage by Lara Brandi. Since 2014, she has been a dancer with the Innsbruck Dance Company and is known for numerous leading roles. Now she is expanding her artistic activity and will work as a director and choreographer. “The chance to share my vision of Modigliani with our 'hungry' and devoted audience, to take them on a journey through the life of such an iconic artist, fills my soul with excitement and joy. Modì has always fascinated me: his artistic expression—so passionate, refined, and tortured at the same time—his short life, driven by love, instinct, and that essential touch of madness. Who wouldn’t want to be catapulted for one night into the bohemian years of a Paris bustling with art, fun, and ruin, into this bubbling and sometimes sad life?” One is only alive when one knows that one lives.
