Latest project in residence

Full evening (2012) proposes a participatory stage experience that breaks with the traditional idea of the passive spectator. The audience not only observes but actively intervenes in the perception of the work by choosing, through headphones with different audio channels, the music that accompanies the dance. In this way, each person constructs their own interpretation of the movement, discovering how the sonic context—whether Baroque, Romantic, electronic, or pop—transforms what happens on stage.
