Synopsis
HOME is an immersive dance-theatre performance that invites the audience to inhabit a
living room, stepping into the intimacy of a couple’s everyday life.
Through proximity and shared space, the work dissolves the boundaries between spectators
and performers, offering a sensory experience of cohabitation.
HOME is not merely observed, it is lived — a suspended moment, made of subtle dynamics
of daily life, affection, tension, and memory, where the private becomes collective.
HOME explores the threshold between presence and distance, between the real and the
virtual, inviting the audience into a layered sensory and narrative experience. Two individuals
inhabit a domestic interior, sharing rhythms, silences, intimacy, and rituals. The audience is
immersed in this reality —physically or digitally— choosing their perspective through a
multi-camera livestream accessible on personal devices.
Through strategically placed cameras and existing technologies (including a wide-angle
projector), the performance expands the spatial boundaries of theatre.
The project, born in 2025, is grounded in a PhD research in New Media and
Critical-Curatorial Practices of Contemporary Creation at the Accademia Albertina di
Belle Arti and the University of Turin. This research investigates the use of new media in
choreographic creation, with particular attention to digital empathy and the audience’s
sensorial stimulation.

Enlight(en)-Me focuses on how the image of the female body is seen and modified by the mass-media society and on the concept of beauty related to it, together with the way in which it is presented and shaped by the screens we look at in our lives.
The standards of beauty and 'perfection' keep on changing in relation to the trends and fashion of the moment, by bringing with them dynamics and problems that arise between the reality and the image proposed/imposed by society.

A line divides the stage.
A light switches on and off while a woman wears a plastic dress; the sound echoes in the emptiness of the surrounding space. Ready to go out she wears plastic gloves and smokes a cigarette while holding a fan electric air cooler.

A woman enters on stage dressed in plastic. Plastic she wears, plastic she becomes.
The performance develops from a social and environmental study and it aims to reflect on the unconscious passivity we show everyday with respect to the outside, in terms of environment preservation and human relationships. Plastic is a metaphor of detachment, a skin that people use to wear, becoming unnatural and objectified by necessity, or as the result of a depersonalisation inside a no-more-real environment.

First phase of study in which, starting from an individual approach, the creative process expanded to a group, introducing the use of voice and focusing on the concept of plurality and unity.
The research was conducted in a white box (a completely white space with a cyclorama) to enhance the sense of optical alteration and create a perspective play through the projection of the choreography in space.

The meaning of the word aesthetic relates to the doctrine of the sensitive and sensorial knowledge of the world that can be perceived through senses.
A double-bass is played in the centre of the stage while two women communicate between them following each other, caressing and dragging their bodies inside the space.
Aesthetik narrates the relation between two bodies in movement and the sound of the instrument. Three are the sensorial stimuli: tactile, visual and haptic, within a dialogue where the sight is abandoned to the sound and where the sound alludes to the haptic.

Maybe I’ll go; maybe not.
Maybe I Go Party is a contemporary dance theater performance that delves into the complex emotional and psychological landscape triggered by the indecision of whether to go out to a party or stay in. The piece explores the tension between social expectation and personal boundaries, where the performer navigates a series of physical and emotional shifts, embodying the internal tug-of-war that arises from conflicting desires: the need for connection and the pull of solitude. As the performer contemplates the decision, the space transforms—blurring the lines between the comfort of home and the chaos of the outside world—illustrating the discomfort and anxiety that accompany indecision. Through movement, sound, and visual elements, the performance reflects the subtle, often unnoticed forces that shape our social behavior, confronting themes of identity, societal pressure, and the emotional weight of choices.

We build windmills
To trap the Wind
In the utopia that
Time keeps silent.
The story is set in the south of France in the late 1940's, and it narrates about the inhabitants of a little village who are working on the construction of a windmill. They want to trap the wind to prevent it from travelling and revealing their secrets outside the village. The apparent calm is overturned by the arrival of a girl, who has left her birthplace in search of a new life. She arrives in the afternoon, the moment where the story begins and she leaves at dawn, when the story ends.
