Visioni del corpo is a series of events that from May 27th to November 29th, 2024 will feature a blend of contemporary art and dance, in a journey where the common denominator will be the body. Six encounters on contemporary art led by Nicolas Ballario, where alongside words there will be dance, through some performative interventions in connection with the presented works. Each encounter will be divided into six moments where Ballario will introduce six works by six different artists, well-known figures in the contemporary scene also to non-enthusiast audiences. Each encounter will be entrusted to a choreographer, who will translate into dance the suggestions evoked by the discussed works. Each encounter will enrich a small “dancing encyclopedia” of contemporary art, investigating how illustrious artists have dealt with the theme of the body. Before and after the events at Fonderia, the bar service will be available, offering an aperitif to stimulate dialogue among different audiences and different forms of art.

The first appointment is born in collaboration with the festivalfilosofia of Modena, Carpi, and Sassuolo, a historic event that connects a key word in each edition, which refers to fundamental issues in philosophical discussion and crucial experiences of contemporary condition, like the upcoming September with psyche. A reflection on the mind will also open the theme interpreted by Roberto Tedesco: on May 27th at Fonderia, the investigation will delve into The Body in Danger, a macro-topic starting from the anthropology of risk and could extend to climate emergency, addressing in general all physical and psychosomatic emergencies that the contemporary body faces. Dialoguing with the choreographer and Nicolas Ballario will be the philosopher Roberto Escobar.
The audience will also experience a VR experience with Francesca Lattuada’s MicroDanza, It’s Dangerous Not to Lean Out, with Oculus available one hour before and one hour after the encounter.
