in collaboration with Museo Sant’Orsola Firenze

Finzioni (Fictions) by Lupa Maimone is a project that explores choreographic language between object, dance, and figure, where the body, in a state of continuous becoming, gives life to shifting forms and nonlinear situations.

The project unfolds as a series of disconnected moments, dreamlike sequences that together construct a surrealist universe.
Each scene, like a fragment of a dream, follows its own inner logic, where body and environment become distorted.
Every gesture is a small fiction that forms and dissolves like a game of deception and revelation: between being and appearing, the body shatters, reassembles, and transforms.

Oltrenotte is a dance-theatre company based in Cagliari, led by choreographer and dancer Lupa Maimone. It develops a poetics that blends the languages of contemporary dance and gesture, assigning objects a semantic role in opening up dreamlike realms and narrative pathways. Oltrenotte produces dance-theatre and musical performances, often integrating other performing arts.

Attraverso Sant’Orsola is an invitation to stay within the process, to experience the museum as a living space, a site of meaning-making and connection.
An evening of dance and performance, listening and imagination, that reactivates a lived architecture, revealing the generative potential of contemporary art as a tool for care, belonging, and transformation.
The invited artists — Teodora Grano, Poliana Lima, Blanca Lo Verde, Lupa Maimone — inhabit the space of Sant’Orsola, which hosts the group exhibition The Rose That Grew From Concrete, with performances that weave together body, voice, and memory in dialogue with time and the evolving architecture.
