Italy in view
Get a chance to discover the artistic buzz around dance right now in Italy, this year’s special guest at the Aix-en-Provence Biennale.

Video teaser


What starts as a conference on an asteroid hitting the earth slowly morphs into an edgy musical. The body is transported, the narrative splits open and the show begins. Marco D’Agostin makes the real teeter on the edge and turns the apocalypse into a vertiginous piece that blends science, fun and glitter. The show becomes a space for resistance with dance a means to survive.

UBU Prize for Best Dance Show.
