Piscina Mirabilis

Co-founded in 2000 by Michele Di Stefano, the mk company carries out exploratory choreography that interrogates the ambiguity of bodily states and their alterations. The group presents its works around the world, with recent tours to Indonesia, the United States, Japan, Peru, Germany, France, Hungary, Spain and Portugal. Their latest works propose different performance formats and environments in collaboration with other artists: Veduta (2016-17) is an immersive performance that explores the urban landscape; Bermudas (2017-18, Danza&Danza Award for the best Italian production and 2019 Ubu Award) is a choreographic system for a varying and interchangeable number of dancers that develops the idea of a perpetual motion regulated by an organic order; Parete Nord, dedicated to the mountains, is an international project co-produced with Torinodanza 2018; EDEN (Danza&Danza Special Prize) was commissioned by the 2020 Bolzano Danza/Tanz Bozen festival with choreography by Carolyn Carlson, Michele Di Stefano and Rachid Ouramdane; maqam (2021) was commissioned by RING, a prototype for a cooperation involving the Bolzano Danza/Tanz Bozen, Aperto Reggio Emilia, Torinodanza and FOG festivals. In 2014 Michele Di Stefano was awarded the Silver Lion for dance at the Venice Biennale.
