  • Bio

    ?ALOS Stefania Pedretti/?Alos born in Vigevano 1976, from the 2006 to 2011 lives and works in Berlin. ?Alos is a musician and an experimental performer, from 2003 she melts these disciplines to create shows/performances in which live music is a basic element. Her work surpasses the boundary between performing arts, integrating experimental music, performance, improvisation and video art and makes the audience participate actively in the show through the stimulation of the six senses. The feminine figure is the basis of each performative action and its role both in history and in the contemporary society is critically investigated. She has played in the whole of Italy and Europe, in the United States, Canada, Mexico and Israel.

A mirror image of ours, in which the people carry marks of permanent memories that shape (also us) the characters and lives of everyone. Signorina ?Alos is one of this world, she carries on her face the scars of the injuries to the spirit of Stefania Pedretti. That is who ?Alos is: the alter-ego of Stefania, her mirror image. In the paintings of Stefania Pedretti there are the women, the people of that world and across them ?Alos has found the path to reach us since 2003.From than she toured in Italy, Europe and U.S.A............. ?ALOS released "RICORDI INDELEBILI" (2006)on Bar La Muerte, Precordings and Vida Loca records and "RICAMATRICI" (2008) on bar La Muerte............ In 2006 she released her video"Sola" shot by the artist Francesca Grilli, edited by Cristian Dondi and with the actors ?Alos and Nicola Ratti (the camera enters ?ALOS' kitchen and captures a private version of her performance)......... Stefania Pedretti plays also in OVO (with Bruno dorella) www.myspace.com/ovobarlamuerte and ALLUN www.allun.it www.myspace.com/alluninthespace...................................................................................................................... SHOWS----NEW SHOW!!!!! PAGAN, ANCESTRAL DOOM: she play voice,guitar and her long long hair all in a woman primordial mystery atmosphere.------- ?ALOS "one girl cooking music" (2003-2007) : in the performance, bound by the topic of stealing private moments and making them public, Signorina ?Alos presents herself (to our eyes) as a lonely woman, unlucky, a romantic and a dreamer, intent on preparing just one candlelight dinner. While preparing dinner, ?Alos plays, using the unmistakeable voice of Stefania,her personal guitar style and the splendid bases created expressly forher by such artists as Mae Starr, DJ Tonnerre and Christian Rainer. It is all with suprises, moments of profound sweetness, tenderness, sadness and irony. All five senses are involved in this performance: sight obviously, but also taste and smell (the dinner), hearing (the music) and touch (Signorina ?Alos concludes the performance by inviting a man from the audience, after having found him "handsome and well-groomed", to share dinner with her. ?Alos usually presents itself during Stefania Pedretti's personal exhibitions "Ricordi Indelebili"(PermanentMemories)...........................------- ?ALOS "one girl sewing music" (2007-2008) is a performance about emigration or immigration and one of the classic, traditional and old female jobs: to SEW. Millions of people move to other country to realize a dream and most of them finish to do some horrible and not well paid job. ?Alos is one of them, one of these women. She moved to a big city to become a "STAR" but she became a little dressmaker, and work for a puppets factory in a dark cellar. A performance for denounce a type of femele work and life living of millions of woman in the past like today. In the concert,with music create with Claudio Rocchetti,?Alos will sing,she'll play with the sew machine and she'll make one of this puppets, the Brü,in a "retrò", sweet, funny and decadent atmosphere. After "one girl cooking music",a performance-concert about food, cook and the 5 senses, ?Alos,in this 2° performances, tackle actual themes and problematics but that existed also in the past like emigration,work exploitation,lost the dreams and an other of the 5 senses: TOCH............................................... ?ALOS "5/4 SENSES" (2008...): a performance about blindness, about losing one of the 5 senses. ?Alos will play blind piano and voice. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. ..
