Per il pubblico

curated by Francesca Cinalli and Paolo De Santis – Compagnia Tecnologia Filosofica
in synergy with Lavanderia a Vapore
as part of the Campi Creativi project

From October 2024 to April 2025, a program of encounters aimed at young people interested in sharing a time of exploration and study by traversing the artistic processes underway at the Lavanderia. A space for intellectual, philosophical, spiritual, playful, and growth training: artistic practices, exercises, methods of composition, and methods of research that foster the circulation of experiences among young people and artists-in-residence and cultural project referents.

Winter is the season of refreshment par excellence, the time of year when nature retreats to give itself a moment of rest after the most industrious and harvesting period. The darkest time of the year is spent in dens and deep in the earth, where, thanks to roots, we can regain lost energy.
If in the animal and plant kingdoms hibernation is an essential part of the life cycle, how come our moments of rest are fewer and fewer, and we are always in a hurry? What urgencies grip us? How do we carve out space for individual and mutual care?

“Why are we all in such a hurry?” is the question that a group of teenagers from Collegno, Grugliasco and Rivoli chose to put at the center of an open discussion among youth and adults.

The research takes shape through an assemblage and copy-paste of horror film fragments to explore the concept of the horror genre as a dismembered body and to analyze, challenge, confront, overturn and reinvent the cultural mythology of femininity and gender in relation to monstrosity.
The dismembered and reassembled body becomes a new body: a landscape, no longer an “organic whole” but a monstrous form, creating a space of possible incorporation of desires, ambivalences, fears and pressures that come out into the open.
Mixing film criticism, fandom, feminist analysis, anecdotes of film productions, unsolicited opinions, biographical stories and news events, horror is evoked as a vital and ambiguous presence, as a power that constitutes a break with the everyday world, transgressing its boundaries and questioning the validity of rationality.

Performer and author, Teodora Grano is active in projects of the contemporary circus and dance scene. She has collaborated with Studio Matejka/Grotowski Institut in Conflict of apathy and HPP-Polska (Wroclaw), Katarina Brestovanska/Nowy Priestor in Kali un-suspended reality (Bratislava), Kai Evans/the KEE Ensemble in Use you head! (Berlin). She collaborated as author of texts and assistant director for Piergiorgio Milano in WHITE OUT. She currently works as a dancer for CollettivO CineticO.

In Alloro_varietà aurea, forms are elusive: they transform, feed on inner light, wander inside the palaces of memory, become living sculptures. They are idols, icons, totems and tabernacles shining in the darkness, trying to challenge eternity. This is why they are poetic objects, caskets to be consigned to the evocative power of sound: they hold stones that, molded and exposed to light, become spirit and remind us of that need of ours to mythologize the real and reappropriate the fantastic, in the intuition that “absence and presence are the two forms of eternity” (F.Mauriac).

Francesca Cinalli – dancer, choreographer – and Paolo De Santis – musician, percussionist – within the Turin-based collective Tecnologia Filosofica walk a personal research trajectory “Il Corpo Rituale.” Cinalli is a Diplomate of IAT-GONG Biennial School of Music Dance Theater of the Peoples of Genoa; De Santis composes original soundscapes for theater and dance ranging from electro-acoustic to field recording.
They have been collaborating with cultural institutions in Italy and abroad since 2008.
Since 2017 they have been collaborating with French-Japanese artist A. Atoyama Cie Atou of Lyon for the creations “Hydden Body” and “Limpid Sun/Triennale d’Arte Setouchi Japan 2019.” Collaborated with Iranian film director Milad Tangshir for the VR film Hydrocosmos with the support of Fondazione Piemonte dal Vivo and Museo del Cinema di Torino.

HIDE is a cave pervaded by an inhuman vibration, an ancestral drone, resembling a roar-melt: an enveloping, magmatic sound matter, produced in real time by the performer’s body, poised between animal and human, animate and inanimate, concealment and apparition.
Body and cave form a single crypto-landscape, where, in the inexhaustible concert of water drops, dance emerges as the possibility of metamorphosis, of being other than oneself; an inner zapping that cites other states of being, the continuous mutation of forms, in search of a connection with the deep sources of the image.

Performer, director and dance maker, Edoardo Mozzanega in his research uses different tools and languages including theater, dance, storytelling, video making, somatic practices, to investigate their transformative power towards the real. This investigation has led him to create different performative formats such as video installations, workshops and performances in theater and site-specific. In 2019, in collaboration with other artists, he conceived Neutopica, a project of transdisciplinary artistic residencies with an experimental and collaborative form that take life and space in disused places and marginal areas.

A BEGINNING #16161D is a work for five singers that plays with the relationship between voice, light, and movement, transforming our perception to the point where notions of space and time are suspended. Starting with research that begins in the dark and halfway between musical composition and choreographic writing, Bauzà and Jou propose a piece in which live singing and lights manipulated by the performers themselves become central in the construction of a dramaturgical narrative about the (re)beginning of the world.
Music and singing are the creative motors that convey the piece, combining vocal and electronic original compositions with fragments of classical repertoire and passages of vocal improvisation. The spectator is taken into an immersive and sensory experience where the bodies and voices of the five singers are constantly transformed and dissolve their limits, inviting us to imagine new ways of communicating, being, and relating to and within society.

Aurora Bauzà & Pere Jou are composers, creators, and performers at the forefront of the performing arts. Their primary research revolves around the human voice and its intricate connections with the body, movement, space, stage, and light. Their compositions go beyond traditional artistic genre boundaries, treating music as a multidimensional entity with physical, scenic, visual, dramaturgical, expressive, and poetic qualities.
Aurora Bauzà and Pere Jou bring an obsessive curiosity to understand the contemporary human through the mechanisms of meaning creation, particularly those involved in constructing individual and collective identities. Their works, such as “I Am (T)here,” or “A BEGINNING_expanded versión” have been featured at prestigious events like the Grec Festival of Barcelona, showcasing their commitment to exploring the boundaries between sound, bodies, and movement, and inviting audiences to question the limits of perception and identity. Recently, his piece “A BEGINNING #16161D” has been selected for the Twenty24 AEROWAVES Edition.

A moment of descent after ecstasy, a wave of depression, the sensation of the body letting go, the spirit breaking away: this is the down. Mélissa Guex experiences the rhythm of descent, then the music of ascent, the body freezing or following a drumbeat of emotions, to create an explosive performance as an attempt to respond to the collective down. 
Conceived as a modular in situ format, Down – single version evolves, transforms and takes root in each territory explored, feeding off past journeys and nurturing future ones.

Mélissa Guex is a dancer, choreographer and performer. After her studies, she became an associate artist of Théâtre Sévelin and created the SUMO company in Lausanne. She collaborates and participates in different creations and artistic worlds with, among others, Géraldine Chollet, Augustin Rebetez and Anna Marija Adomaityte. With her company, Mélissa Guex and her team develop work based on an elaborate aesthetic, not without darkness.

Clément Grin is a drummer and composer with a master’s degree in performance/composition from the Haute Ecole de Jazz in Lausanne, where he studied with CyrilRegamey and Emil Spanyi. He is a member of Meimuna, Hold, Monument, Duo Sonore, Gr’Ørch, Bart Plugers Blossom and Blasphemy and plays regularly for other projects. He has performed at Jazz Onze+ Festival, Docks, Jazzwerkstatt, Cully JazzFestival, Bee-Flat, and Moods.
