as part of Contemporanea / Focus Danza 2025

Sound, movement, natural and artificial architectures are the tools of this complex compositional study: a gift X (for) those who participate and X (for) those who host.
The synthesis is made for the public, X is a symbol whose two lines that cross are the bridge to enter into communication with the Other. Sound and Body are the journey, the musician and the dancer in the role of researchers/explorers are the means (X – for) that accompanies the spectators/travelers to another place to go back after with a sensory experience in an equilibrium between real and surreal.

Olimpia Fortuni is a dancer and choreographer. She graduated as a dancer at the Civica Scuola di Teatro Paolo Grassi in Milan. She has presented her work as a choreographer since 2014 in numerous dance festivals in Italy and abroad.  Starting from the body, her research has been based for years on the study of time as a quality of movement and on the observation of the relationship between human beings, nature and animal which are the central themes of her creations.

A sound artist, live performer and independent researcher in sonic and performing arts and media studies, Katatonic Silentio explores the fields of electronic and experimental music with a unique approach to sound design, releasing music on numerous national and international labels and performing at venues and festivals across Europe. She is also active as an independent researcher.
