Eleftheros / Free
choreographed by Alessandra Corona
in collaboration with the Company

What does freedom feel like? Eleftheros explores this question through the language of the body—twisting, expanding, resisting, and yielding. Movement becomes a means of research, a tool to navigate the emotional depths of liberation. This choreography embodies the tension between constraint and release, inviting the audience to experience the ever-changing nature of being free.

ORIGINAL MUSIC BY: THOMAS LENTAKIS

Rough Surface
choreographed by Francesca La Cava
in collaboration with the Company

"Rough surface" starts with the study of ancient stones that speak about the heart of the Sardinian people,
seemingly confined within a shape but actually open to knowledge, transformation, and freely expressing themselves through their own skin/surface.
The millennial stones are alive and make sounds that evoke the movements of its inhabitants from various generations. With this choreography, Francesca La Cava with the Company, explores this concept through innovative dance.
“The stone has a soul, memory, and elasticity.” - Pinuccio Sciola

Ashes to Ashes
choreographed by Simon Kuban
"Ashes to Ashes" is an exploration of mortality, transformation, and the echoes left behind. Through movement, Simon Kuban confronts the experience of death—not as an end, but as a passage through memory, grief, and surrender. The choreography moves between fragility and power, resistance and acceptance, embodying the cycle of fading and renewal. With every gesture, the body speaks of loss, of letting go, and of the unspoken spaces between life and the unknown. Ashes to Ashes invites the audience to witness a journey through the thresholds of existence—where every ending is also a beginning.
