FREE ENTRY

A moment of discussion and in-depth exploration dedicated to contemporary dance practices in public and unconventional spaces. The round table explores creative processes that choose urban, rural, or natural landscapes not as a mere backdrop, but as an active interlocutor.
Through dialogue, experiences born from direct contact with the Etna territory and its community will be analysed: from the material resonances of Rombo (Riccardo Buscarini) and the tensions of TILT (Ilenia Romano), to the reflection on the space of the square in La Plaza (Elisa Sbaragli). An opportunity to reflect on how dance can rediscover and give new meaning to the places we inhabit.
