Established 1999 in Rome, the group moves along an autonomous and auto-poietical research line, focusing on body research, choereography and sound matter. The group has developed over the years an inquiry into the ambiguity of bodily states and their alterations, through different formats and collaborations; it often introduces 'intruders' to weak the boundaries of the performance.
The group was soon engaged by distinctive international festivals for new dance and theatre and is considered as one of the most radical research ensemble of the Italian scene.
It staged at Santarcangelo International Festival, Montpellier Danse-Italian platform, Gulbenkian Foundation Lisbon, TRAFO House of Contemporary Arts Budapest, La Porta Barcelona, IIC and Kitazawa Town Hall Tokyo, OrienteOccidente Festival, Dies de Dansa Barcelona, Teatri90 Milan, the new Auditorium by Renzo Piano and the Museum of Ara Pacis in Rome, the international project Biennale delle Arti by Achille Bonito Oliva in Padula, and so on...
