Latest project in residence

Qui, ora (2014) the solo examines, in a linear way, how the body reacts in theatrical situations co-created by the space, the costumes, the sounds, and the proximity of the audience. All these aspects determine, at the precise moment—“here and now”—the shape of the gesture and the rhythm, as well as every passage and movement of this intimate journey.
