Mission

The mission of the Moving Body platform is dedicated to connecting artists, mediums and audiences through art that shares a strong choreographic sensibility. How do we move? What makes us move? Towards what are we moving? How do we move from an individual towards a collective body shaping the future of history? How do we move in time of Catastrophe? These are the issues which underline any program selection.

THE WAY WE MOVE MATTERS

The temporary collective body that we form every year has an increasingly powerful charge of energy. It seeks, provokes, quest around, wants to see, speak and hear. It maps the routes along which artists, media and audiences move through art with strong conceptual and choreographic sensibility. The edition unfolds in a rich program that hides entrances and exits to a variety of contexts and topics which meets us with works in-processes, workshops, performances, exhibitions, screenings, discussions and party situations.

We perceive the critical areas that we will offer to your attention as a richfull territory in which to explore, to stand and observe, to provoke, to stand up and insist that it is important - How do we move? What makes us move? Towards what are we moving? How do we move from an individual towards a collective body shaping the future of history? How do we move in time of Catastrophe?

Welcome to edition number seven!
