This premiere production delves into the work of Italian choreographer, dancer, and dance filmmaker Gioele Coccia, exploring the fragmentation of identity and the search for connection. The performance dissolves the boundaries between image and performance, merging projections of expressive dance films with Gioele Coccia's live movements, accompanied by music from Berardo Di Mattia. Gioele Coccia is an artist whose practice combines contemporary dance, physical theatre, video art, and audiovisual experiments, with a focus on identity and gender equality. His work often addresses the fragility of male identity and social pressures, as seen in projects like 'maskiA!' and 'Maschile Ausiliare'. Coccia's dance films have gained international recognition, and he has also created music videos. He has a history of collaboration with ensembles such as Farm in the Cave and founded the social innovation initiative Mapigo Project in Tanzania, dedicated to preserving traditional dance for intercultural dialogue and social transformation. Coccia lives between Rome and Prague.
