A research that encourages seeing in intersections and pauses, pouring the invisible into the visible and playing with randomness. A project that brings in practices to train the right side of the brain, a reflection on gaze, visionarity and suspension proposed in the form of a hallucinated choreographic/performance device to confuse agent and acted, to overlap sight and vision. A system to put bodies at rest and discover alert minds, a call to exercise the capacity to imagine beyond, to gush futures. The dramaturgy flows intimately, unpredictably, without morality, without prejudice, without censorship, and is composed as reality and fiction flirt.

Michela Depetris trained between Italy and Spain in contemporary dance and visual arts. She works in performance contexts as performer and as author, situating her research in an open field in which every medium always leads to bodily practices and an expanded vision of choreography. She works with the poetics and politics of the body in the folds between performance, writing, sound, choreography, installation, video and more. She loves to design visionary and immersive environments where perception is activated and all bodies are at the center.
