Mesh
The work of Matteo Levaggi combines the double influence of Balanchine and Cunningham and adds an astute topical touch to this solid theoretical/esthetic base. Like his contemporaries Benjamin Millepied, Christopher Wheeldon, Wayne MacGregor, and before them Angelin Preljocaj, he bears the legacy of these masters in his genes. Mesh, a show specially created for the Centro Pecci of Prato, captures both movement, film projections, sound effects, and scenic elements. The choreography creates a link between the dancing body and nature, which is represented here by objects/junk, creating an atmospheric, visionary landscape. With these emotionally-charged elements, we meet again on stage the “artistic couple” Matteo Levaggi and Elisabetta Guttuso, who made their debut at the 21st Milan Triennale at the Pirelli Hangar Bicocca in the piece Yvonne, with the Ensemble Sentieri Selvaggi.

Stash
Stash presents itself as a first meeting space between the visual artist Mollaseconda, aka Jacopo Buono, and the performer/choreographer Jacopo Jenna. Stash is a danced warehouse where the abundance of signs and references blurs the boundaries between us and the world. Stash invites you to dive into a hypnotic ocean of actions and sounds to determine hidden movements inside and outside the body. Stash throws a strange light on the hybrid nature of things, on the relationship between organic, materiality, and impalpable forces.
