Studi per M / Madeleine is a choreographic project that explores the relationship between places and the human figure. Madeleine expands her awareness of places, landscapes, and what surrounds and welcomes the body, and in the body, it carries out a process of connection between apparent spatial and temporal boundaries. It is like seeking the point at which choreographic artifice and the concreteness of reality converge to create a third dimension, an overflowing encounter. It is about working on a pure choreographic path and open it to the spatial dimension of reality, starting from the body as an element that unites and overflows. It is about working in the present and listening to the layered temporalities that emerge. Attention to the constant positioning of the body, where the body is placed and how it inhabits that space, is the starting point. Whether inside or outside the theatre, it is a matter of stripping materials of their utilitarian function and allowing their true nature to emerge, removing superstructures or predetermined intentions. Madeleine seeks to open up materials and observe their core, to stitch together fragments of reality, and experience dance as a tool to approach the unspoken that bodies emit and places conceal. It aims to enter a temporal threshold, a displacement, an out-of-place and out-of-time state, inhabiting a presence rich with potential. This process is Madeleine. 

Stefania Tansini

Stefania Tansini is one of the most appreciated dancers and choreographers of italian contemporary dance in recent years. Winner of several prizes including the Ubu 2022 Award as Best Performer Under35, she develops her choreographic research from a material and sensory investigation of the body as a place of transfiguration and tension, between form and decay, control and abandonment, in constant dialogue between fullness and emptiness. Her works have been presented in numerous festivals. She is supported by Fondazione Teatro Grande in Brescia for 2022-2024 and by MosaicoDanza/ Interplay for 2024-2026. She currently collaborates with Cindy Van Acker, Motus, Silvia Rampelli and Raffaella Giordano.

Nanou

Founded in 2004 as a meeting ground for the artistic visions of Marco Valerio Amico, Rhuena Bracci, and Roberto Rettura, gruppo nanou creates an organic body of work where movement, sound, and image converge in a shared choreographic language. Over the years, the company has appeared at major theatres and festivals such as Fabbrica Europa, Santarcangelo Festival, Drodesera, Les Brigittines (Belgium), Unidram (Germany), Nu Dance Fest (Slovakia), La MaMa ETC (New York, USA). Since 2019, the sound imagery has been entrusted to the musician Bruno Dorella, founder of various musical bands, including OvO, Ronin and Bachi da Pietra. In 2020, the project Paradiso by gruppo nanou, created in collaboration with artist Alfredo Pirri, was shortlisted for the 2022 UBU Awards in the categories of Best Dance Performance and Best Set Design. In 2024, redrum won the UBU Award (ex aequo) for Best Dance Performance
