Days thursday

The Latin word MANIFESTUS (clear, evident) indeed contains the word manus (hand). To manifest is a way of saying "I AM HERE," it is the moment when we, together, seize a fleeting trace of reality and present it to the eyes of the public, the piazza, of others.

The choreography explores an abstract form of movement, starting from hand gestures and drawing on various street dance practices, creating an intricate, ever-changing energetic space that manifests itself by dancing in the flow of the present.

Followed by DTalk, a conversation with the artist.

SMOKING ROOMS

di mk / Michele Di Stefano

The performance evokes the suspended atmosphere of places where bodies are summoned into a forced proximity: a waiting room, an antechamber, the backstage of a theater. What emerges is a complex and fragile environment, the result of layered agreements and symbioses, a kind of coral reef that resolves its own fragility moment by moment.

LA LUCE DEL NERO

by Teatro tascabile di Bergamo

"La luce del nero", a theatrical production by Teatro tascabile di Bergamo, is a collective dance that blends ritual and vision, navigating the pain of the present. Through music, poetry, and movement, figures of shadow and light give shape to a secular prayer that invites us to pause and reflect, through both sight and memory.
