The selected artists in 2025

Artistic accompaniement : SOPHIE MICHAUD + CHIARA FRIGO

Frédérique presents a choreographed solo that explores the inner transformation of the body and consciousness. Her work turns the body into a laboratory and the stage into a psychic space.

Cycles of transformation unfold through repetition, dissolution, and reintegration, revealing new forms and relationships to time and space.

She is interested in the mechanisms that shape identity and in the dialogues between archetypes, the imagination, and sensory experiences, opening a space where the multiplicity of possibilities can unfold.

Giorgia presents BODY SWEATS, a choreographic exploration of the body as a space of exertion, pleasure, and radicalism. The project blends dance, poetry, and physical routines, inspired by Baroness Elsa von

Freytag-Loringhoven.

On stage, references intersect—from ballet to pop, from Italian Dadaumpa to fitness—to rewrite the codes of movement from a feminist and queer perspective.

She is also interested in transmission and collective forms, inventing ways to create and share where physicality, experimentation, and joy converge.
