Performance
Square Milano
Lorenzo Bianchi Hoesch
April 2 – 7, 2019
Square Milano is a participatory installation that manipulates its surroundings. The result of a research project developed at IRCAM - Centre Pompidou in Paris, the work guides the audience through an ambiguous soundscape which plays with the simultaneous perception of real and fictitious inputs.
Performance
Parete Nord
mk
April 5 – 6, 2019
In Parete Nord, experiencing dance as interlocked movements means employing it to explore what is on the outside and attempting to lose figurative boundaries – dissolving into the world. The piece is organised as a diptych: the opening part, built on the incessant and close dynamism of the performers, is followed by a landscape scene, inspired by the “geographical disobedience” that every mountain territory brings with it.
Performance
Duetto in ascolto
Camilla Monga
April 17 2019
The young Italian choreographer Camilla Monga collaborates with the composer Zeno Baldi in a duet that employs attentive listening to explore processes of choreographic and musical accumulation. Every visual and aural stimulus becomes a recognisable sign to be turned into pure sound.
Performance
Deserto digitale
Nicola Galli
April 17 2019
Deserto digitale is a choreographic composition dedicated to the revolutionary music of Edgard Varèse and inspired by the piece Déserts. The composer’s experimental research is at the core of the performance, conceived as a visual and dream-like ritual between suspension, violence and catharsis.
Performance
Animale
Francesca Foscarini
April 30 2019
Teatro Franco Parenti
Animale is a powerful and poetic work by the Italian choreographer Francesca Foscarini, winner of the Danza&Danza 2018 prize for emerging artists.

Performance
Deposition
Michele Rizzo
April 30 2019
Teatro Franco Parenti
“Deposition” is a term borrowed from physics: it refers to the process of turning volatile material into solid matter. In this hypnotic and evocative solo piece, artist and performer Michele Rizzo draws inspiration from this process of transformation to present to the audience a possible reverse transcendence – from the virtual to the deeply humane and back.
Concert
POST From post-global to post-experimental
ZERO
May 7 2019
"From post-global to post-experimental" is a true mix of sounds: from the latest proposals of Intelligent Dance Music to the urban sounds of South American cities, via the garage rap of metropolitan suburbs and a post techno between noise music and 4/4 drum beat.
Performance
LA GRANDE PHRASE AIR
Compagnie Didier Théron
May 12 2019
Bizarre and exhilarating, the cycle “GONFLES / Vehicles” by Compagnie Didier Théron elevates air to motor of creation. The figures of these works are dressed in inflated latex: it is the air inside and outside the costumes that generates forms and deformations, energy and dynamics.
Show
Tú Amarás
Bonobo
May 15 – 16, 2019
Addressing challenging – and very timely – questions about discrimination, this prize-winning play by the Chilean company Bonobo interrogates the relationship between progress and intolerance: who are the “others”? What marks their difference? How do they become the enemy?
Show
Kingdom
Agrupación Señor Serrano
May 22 – 24, 2019
The multi-award winning company Agrupación Señor Serrano presents Kingdom, an irreverent cocktail mixing bananas, King Kong, consumerism, virile choreographies, commercials, punk rock, supermarkets, growth, confusion, expansion, multinationals, shortages, coups d’état, bestiality, trap music and very macho men in an endless party.
Performance
Walking Backwards
Alex Cecchetti
May 24 – 26, 2019
Secret place
In this site-specific work by Alex Cecchetti, the spectators are invited to walk backwards along a narrative path. With a guide walking on their side and stories of trees, plants and herbs whispered in their ears, they are accompanied in this immersive experience until they become the garden itself and realise that there are no beginnings and no ends: the path welcomes all choices.

Hors-Champ
Ivana Müller
May 30 – 31, 2019
Situated in a colony of tents and performed by its spectators, this performance – in Italian premiere – questions our relationship to nature, to the other, to the concept of survival, to leisure and culture, through a series of meetings with “strangers” engaged in a scripted conversation.

Rip it up and start again
Motus
June 4 – 5, 2019
Rip it up and start again is a show-concert-karaoke-manifesto which digs in the recent past to look at the present through different eyes and build up dissent over the idea of a “generation whose every move was anticipated, tracked, bought and sold before it had even happened” (Mark Fisher).
