?Alos

?ALOS“one girl cooking music” :Another world exists beyond ours, a world hidden inside every mirror. 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. 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" (Permanent Memories). The first video of ?ALOS, "Sola" was presented in 2006 (shot by 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......... During the same year the ?ALOS album "RICORDI INDELEBILI” was released on Bar La Muerte, Precordings and Vida Loca............ ?Alos toured in Italy, Germany, France, Slovenja, Switzerland, Portugal............ ............................................................ ........................................................Stef ania Pedretti play olso in OVO www.myspace.com/ovobarlamuerte and ALLUN www.allun.it
