“Between the Walls” conceived and directed by Ildar Tagirov (Moscow, Russia), dancer, choreographer, and actor with an internationally recognized training and professional collaborations.
This creative project reflects on the isolation of talent, whether chosen or imposed, and its human and artistic consequences. Through the figure of Maria Callas, the work explores the relationship between success, loneliness, and sacrifice, showing how the denial of one’s own talent can turn into a slow process of inner dissolution.

At 9:00 PM, “From Aporetico - Everything is going to be ok if you stick with me,” written and performed by Francesca Sacchi and Giorgia Enrico (Turin - Italy/Serbia). An exploration of loneliness and the conflict between the multiple dimensions of the self, where identity fragments into a plurality of perspectives and challenges every certainty.
At 9:30 PM, “From NunCraker - Dinner is Served,” written and performed by Francesca De Girolamo (Rome – Italy). A solo performance about the daily struggles of life and the ability to recognize one’s inner resources to rely on for survival today. Between dance and physical theater, the piece transforms a simple and universal gesture—the preparation of a plate of pasta—into a story of resilience, identity, and survival.

A solo-duet that explores the concept of bad luck and the perception of control over one’s own life, challenging the idea of external events as the cause of individual fate and opening a reflection on the self, responsibility, and the possibility of transformation.

At 9:00 PM, “Current Accounts” written and performed by Yésica Castellón Jiménez and Boris Orihuela Pérez (Cádiz, Spain). A reflection on the dehumanization of the corporate world, expressed through bodily language with imagination and emotional intensity.

“Fictions” concept and choreography by Lupa Maimone, produced by Oltrenotte. An archive of metamorphoses, a bodily atlas of illusions that are built and undone, opening the door to a surreal universe. The body multiplies into a choreographic language that weaves together voice, magic, and objects. Each scene becomes a small dreamlike explosion, a fiction that lives and dies within the time of a gesture.
Address
From September 21st to 27th
“Studio for Holiness/Étude pour la sainteté” written and performed by Erika Di Crescenzo. Inspired by the thought of Georges Bataille, the work explores the fine boundary between holiness, madness, desire, and corporeality. A provocative and magnetic staging evokes the mystical and feverish universe of historical figures like Joan of Arc, creating an emotional journey where ecstasy, rebellion, and the search for love intertwine in the quest for one’s sacred vital space.

“Adeus” directed and choreographed by Lupa Maimone. Featuring Vinka Delgado, Simona Ceccobelli, Ayelén Tejedor, and Elisa Zedda. Five women explore old age as a presence already inscribed in the body. Through circus, dance, and object manipulation, they engage in a dialogue with prostheses of possibility, masks, and limbs that organically merge with them.

October 17th
“The Vertigo of Desire” written and directed by Giacomo Costantini and Violette Cortiles.
An intimate and ambitious work that blends circus, music, illusionism, and literature to explore the human nature of desire: a paradox that resides in our deepest intimacy, yet is a foreign force that does not entirely belong to us and that we cannot control.
Address
November 7th
“Reface” written and performed by Chandra Grangean and Lise Messina, from the company Les Idoles. A physical and musical exploration based on the idea of transformation. A continuously evolving process in which the faces and bodies of the two performers constantly change through the use of tape, wigs, and makeup. A dance that continually shifts in form and tone, where the performers appear at times as comical, frightening, innocent, unsettling, and grotesque creatures.

December 18th and 19th
“Blu – a Hundred Steps from the Sea”, a new production by Simonetta Pusceddu.
