Silvia Gribaudi

Roger Salas says about her in the Spanish newspaper El Paìs:”Silvia Gribaudi es una artista singular que cultiva el feísmo y un humor ácido; su llamativo físico ya va a contracorriente” [Silvia Gribaudi is a unique artist who cultivates the ugly-ism and a bitter humour; her showy physique is definitely against the current]


As for Silvia Gribaudi’s A CORPO LIBERO…? Well, what can I write that could possibly do it
justice? It’s a manifesto for emancipation. It’s beautifully, minutely-observed. It’s uplifting,
charming, intoxicating and elevating. And it unabashedly celebrates humanity. And to be
completely honest, I don’t think in the entire festival I’ve seen a more beautiful human being onstage”.

Riccardo Buscarini

Award-winning choreographer Riccardo Buscarini trained at Accademia Domenichino in Piacenza, Italy, and London Contemporary Dance School graduating in 2009. Since then he has been presenting – and often performing in – his own work in the UK and internationally. Riccardo has also taught choreography and performance at Birkbeck University and lead improvisation and composition workshops internationally.

A curious person of eclectic inspirations, Riccardo is an artist focussed on constantly changing his creative approach to choreography driven by a strong desire for the new. His works to date are all quite different. Although his works have taken different shapes and have been presented in very diverse contexts – theatres, galleries and urban spaces – Riccardo is often inspired by autobiographical events translated in viscerally symbolic expressions.

Gennaro Maione

Gennaro Maione got trained as a ballet and contemporary dancer at “Ballet Teatro Scuola Rossella Rossi” in Naples and in order to refine his skills attends seminars, lectures and workshops in Berlin at the contemporary dance schools Tanzfabrik and Dock 11 and in Brussels at DCJ contemporary dance school and Thor company.
His project Piel il.el takes its cue from the French novel by T. Jonquet “Tarantula”, then played in the movie by Spanish director Pedro Almodovar “The Skin I Live In.”
It is a performance on the theme of identity. What’s identity? Who can really know? Why is there still a need to confuse “gender identity” with “gender role”?
[…] Gender and sex are two separate things, even though the two words are often used interchangeably. Sex is a physical element whereas “Gender” is a component of identity which is placed in the brain.
