Back from Documenta Fifteen
It was short but intense! Well, where to start? I was honored to share this experience with more than 40 artists from all over the world involved in OVERLAPPING KASSEL, an independent performance art festival curated by Qing Cai, which overlaps the official thing with an invasion of colors, moves and ideas. And that’s where…
WHY GO TO DOCUMENTA?
Ready to fly to the one and only Kassel, following the footprints of masters such as Joseph Beuys I am coordinating an artists’ meeting: awareness as ground needed to be able to walk. I’ll keep you updated! WHY ARE WE HERE? Does the world need our art? In the framework of OVERLAPPING DOCUMENTA, curated by…
World Environment Day
I will play “Il prato infinito” (“the infinite meadow”) on June 5th for the World Environment Day. A walking theatre show, about what is a meadow and what is not. Or maybe there is no clear distinction? See you in Cittadella (PD). Reservation: cittadellacontemporary@gmail.com

Writing and Recording
While it’s still pretty hard to organise any performance, I am working on some online social projects about heritage and spoken theatre. I am writing different texts starting from stories by elderly people of my town, and recording them together some youngster, even children from the primary school! Writing is so nice and listening to…
