A peaceful, peaceful place
A Peaceful, Peaceful Place originates from the encounter between Davide Valrosso and three dancers from the Attakkalari Centre for Movement Arts in Bangalore thanks to the support of the Crossing the sea project, designed in order to create and consolidate long-term collaborations between Italy and Asian and the Middle East countries. The work is based […]
Site-specific video installation
How “Chinese” is contemporary Chinese dance? And to which extent it is “really” contemporary? But who’s in charge of assigning the license of “contemporariness”, or establishing the degree of “Chineseness”, in an artwork? In line with the general concept of FOCUS CHINA, this installation, curated by Fabrizio Massini, provides a broad overview covering a period […]

Antologia di S
In 1993 Riccardo Fazi spent a week on holiday in Rimini with his parents. Here he met a fourteen-years old girl, the same age of him, who said him goodbye leaving a cassette with a message recorded on it: “Bye Rome! See you in Santarcangelo!”. After twenty-two years Riccardo found this object again and the […]

Il lunedì
Monday can mean different things. It can be Monday blues, when everything went wrong, Or the day after a disaster, Or the day with possibilities, the start, beginning, when you can change everything. When I was asked if I could come and do a duet; a trio perhaps, or perhaps a workshop and the choose […]
COB/Compagnia Opus Ballet and Compagnia Giardino Chiuso
Pinocchio
In 2018, the Giardino Chiuso company and COB/Compagnia Opus Ballet began a path of artistic collaboration for the creation of a theatre dance production of one of masterpieces of literature, Pinocchio. Reintroducing Pinocchio in dance is never trivial; countless interpretations, from theatre to dance, from musicals to cinema, with more or less fame, with more […]
Habillé d’Eau / Silvia Rampelli
Euforia
Winner of 2018 Premio Ubu as the best dance show of the year I’d like to remove words from fact. The fact is the body, absolute construction, closed in the matter, matter, questioning, evident even in absence of cognition, intention being awake. Semblance, simulacrum. For many years I have been looking for a logical […]
The Gesture in the cultural heritage of Europe
The natural gesture and its transposition in art: in theatre, dance, cinema, video, architecture and visual arts, overcoming the limits of the physical. The gesture as a shouting force, a vital necessity, that can be interpreted without the need for translation. The gesture that is born in mankind and with mankind, a common expression in […]
Rob Mazurek | Gabriele Mitelli
Two of the most interesting musicians of the Italian and international jazz and experimental scene, two trumpet players with recognizable styles and languages, for a meeting between generations of sound that share a musical territory that borders on free-jazz. Originally rooted in the tradition of hard bop jazz, trumpeter Rob Mazurek (born in 1965 in […]

Tango Glaciale Reloaded 1982/2018
within the project RIC.CI Reconstruction Italian Contemporary Choreography Anni 80/90 Tango Glaciale, a historical pièce created by 22-year old Mario Martone with the Falso Movimento group, is now “reloaded” in a sort of time machine by Anna Redi, Raffaele Di Florio and three actors who were not yet born in 1982. Yet, this is […]
Salvo Lombardo
Excelsior
In 1881, the Gran Ballo Excelsior, one of the most successful Italian dances of the 19th century, debuted at the Teatro alla Scala in Milan. These were crucial years for the affirmation of modern European culture and identity; years characterised by the industrial revolution and colonial imperialism, the triumph of science, the struggle between civilisation […]
Platform A35
Platform A35 develops in the new space of Fabbrica Europa, PARC ex Scuderie Granducali in Florence, an unconventional place. The project is based on the idea of presenting young choreographers, Italian and not only, whose research shows new creative processes, but also the changing society that is necessarily reflected in them.
