The Hotel Europe will be presented in Bologna from 20th to 30th September
2000 in the Industrial Space called 'Euro-Acquario' planned in the 20’s by
the very well known architet Melchiorre Bega.
The director Boris Bakal and the group Orchestra Stolpnik will take care of
the local part of the event togheter with twenty italian artists. The group,
which through its experience, demonstrated the great capacity to displace
their creativity through specific and unconventional urban sites
(underground water tunnels, Pavillon Esprit Nouveau by Le Corbuiser, railway
stations and banks). They will transform the Euro-Acquario in an site
adventure where audience will be guided into a labyrintic journey between
cultures and fears of the old and new Europe
