Dance4Gardens is a dance and music project by Compagnia Simona Bucci and Fondazione Fabbrica Europa that involves young international artists in the creation of original performances, conceived to be presented in unusual scenarios of some historic villas and in other significant spaces of the metropolitan area of Florence.

The central theme of the project is memory, explored from a personal, historical and collective point of view through site-specific performances that inhabit the various spaces, enhancing their nature and architectural features.

Dance4Gardens is supported by Città Metropolitana di Firenze, Ministero dei beni e delle attività culturali e del turismo, Regione Toscana, Comune di Scandicci.
