Rainbow Girl: Lucia Joyce

Opificio della Fotografia presents 'Rainbow Girl: Lucia Joyce: The Broken Rainbow of Modernism”, an event dedicated to the young dancer who traversed the avant-garde scene in Paris, bringing the same experimental freedom to movement as her father, James Joyce, did to writing. A brilliant yet little-known figure, Lucia engaged with photography, dance and art, leaving behind surprising traces. The programme includes a morning workshop that translates some of the rhythms of Finnegans Wake into gestures using the "automatic bodily writing" practised by Lucia. There will also be a live conversation at 7 pm exploring Lucia's images, her associations with De Chirico, Man Ray and Raymond Duncan, and her relationship with Beckett. This event will rekindle the story of Lucia's visionary talent.
