Biography
Originally from Liguria, Pierangela Allegro attended the art school in Genoa, where she trained under the guidance of Silvio Ferrari and Giuseppe Penone, graduating in 1973. The following year he moved to Venice and joined the Academy of Fine Arts, graduating in 1977 in scenography with Giovanni Soccol. In the Venetian years he created, together with other students of the Academy, painting workshops with the patients of the psychiatric hospital of Trieste, in the same years in which Basaglia was carrying out his revolution that would put an end to the existence of asylums. It was in those same years that he became friends with leading figures in emerging sectors of art such as electronic music: Alvise Vidolin and Claudio Ambrosini and of video art such as Michele Sambin. With the latter in 1978 he starts an artistic and emotional partnership (the two will marry in 1991). Within the research theater company Tam Teatromusica that he will merge with Sambin and Laurent Dupont in 1980, Allegro expresses himself as a performer - dramaturgist - scenographer in the perspective of a polysemic of roles, a peculiar characteristic of the company. But it is as an author that she finds a more strictly personal breath and it is in fact in this capacity that she will publish in 1990, with Essegi Edizioni di Ravenna, the monograph Tam Teatromusica, taking on the task of highlighting the poetics and expressive language of the company to insert it in the context of a theater that, continuing the tradition of the historical avant-gardes of the 20th century, practices a "dramaturgy of forms" as Fernando Marchiori will have to say by curating the volume Megaloop, Titivillus Mostre Editoria, published in 2010. As performer author in 1984 for the Micro Macro festival in Reggio Emilia she presents Blasen solo for trombone; in 1995 at the invitation of Ermanna Montanari he presented A.  and at the invitation of M.
