WHAT IS SCARIER THAN FASCISM?

As a Halloween offering, Art in Odd Places presents Italian performance collective, AnimaeNoctis (Silvia Marcantoni Taddei & Massimo Sannelli) in HORRIFASCISM at three different Manhattan locations as a response to the 100th anniversary of Fascism. AnimaeNoctis says, “Sadly Fascism was an Italian invention on October 28, 1922 – spread across the world. Our performances are a series of apologies asking for forgiveness. What is more frightening than the hidden danger of (a) new Fascism(s)?”
 
Performances will take place on October 26 across 14th Street; October 27 at Astor Place and October 28 in Times Square. All 2-6 pm each day.
 
Silvia says, “Our Constitution doesn't allow Italy to have a new Fascist party, but we’ve had Fascist parties since 1946 because diabolical politicians avoided calling them Fascist parties.”
Massimo adds, “We want to warn people about the danger of something that is not called Fascism but truly is. You can call it anything – but if the contents are the same, it's definitely Fascism.”
