DEEP is a 25-minute live performance where dance and concert merge. Dancer Manse Kim and musicians Clelia Patrono and Jenn Eliz Hutt create an immersive dialogue between movement, live electronics, guitar, and violin… ambient, electronic, and hypnotic.

emerson
damian vergel



Emerson (he/him), is a colombian performer, creator, and facilitator, graduated from the Dance Program at Academia Superior de Artes de Bogotá (ASAB) and from the MA in Physical Theatre at Accademia Dimitri in Switzerland. His artistic practice engages with Theatre, clown, traditional Colombian dance, Salsa and improvisation to explore physicality as a poetic and political active territory. 



70%


70% is a physical and unpredictable performance that explores the tension between control and surrender, through a shifting game between the performer’s body, objects and the audience. Oscillating between resistance, exhaustion and play, the piece raises questions around social success, the overexploitation of the body, and our relationship with memory and nature. Emerson Damian Vergel. 

giulia tornarolli



Dancer, choreographer and teacher with a multidisciplinary practice, Giulia began her career after graduating from SEAD Salzburg and collaborates internationally with various personalities of the field, both on stage and on screen, including Panorama Dance Theater, Edivaldo Ernesto, Martin Kilvady, Milan Tomašik, Alexander Vanturnhout and Christof Loy among others. Through her creative work, rooted in improvisation, she explores physical storytelling, navigating themes of exposure, fragility and self-expression. She also leads movement workshops dedicated to physical awareness and stage presence.



lay next
to me


LAY NEXT TO ME unfolds as an intimate portrait of Ruth, a woman caught in the endless pursuit of doing, producing, becoming. Child of a time that glorifies speed and achievement, she accumulates gestures and experiences in the attempt to fill a void that only grows larger.
Through an essential physical language the piece traces the fragile border between action and being. A reflection on our relationship with time, regret, and memory and an invitation to
look at time not as a threat but as what it is, a perpetual stream of moments, each precious in its own right.
