Multilove//Sunshine is a sequence of micro-actions in which young performers will act within non-specific areas, creating a mechanism of adaption among place, movement and audience. The work consists of independent, intersecting and coexisting actions, that re-imagine the theatre space.

Starting from an urgency, each author-performer has investigated a gesture: some actions arise from the choice and subsequent exploration of a space, others from a research on movement, others from the use of specific theatrical mechanisms, dismantled and overturned.

The project also has a profound nature of talent scouting, which arises from the need to record actions that have not yet become something concrete.
This is why the project is preceded by a workshop in which performers will relate to each other as sharing experience of the various performative art languages.

I Macelli are a philosophical thought, a community and a space for residencies and research on performing arts. Active since 2009, they aim at developing projects that mix contemporary languages and work for an audience that could be free from deciphering and from art entertainment.
