Virgilio Sieni’s Project in Ascona in Collaboration with Accademia Dimitri

From September 15 to 19, 2025, the Monte Verità Foundation in Ascona hosts Danze Sospese, a choreographic creation project led by Virgilio Sieni and realized in collaboration with Accademia Dimitri.

During these days, citizens of all ages and abilities, together with dancers, actors, performers, and people curious to explore the language of the body, are working with Sieni around dance as a form of listening and encounter. The workshop investigates gesture as a means of relationship, community, and shared invention.

📅 The project will culminate on Saturday, September 20, 2025, at 5:00 PM, with a public performance at the Monte Verità Foundation in Ascona.

The performance, titled Cosmogony. The Windy Body, will offer the audience the result of this collective research: a poetic exploration of dance as a common and shared gesture, an occasion for knowledge and transformation.

The project also involves first-year students of the Bachelor of Arts in Theatre at Accademia Dimitri, who are experiencing this as an integral part of their training.

Through this project, Accademia Dimitri reaffirms its commitment to fostering artistic experiences that intertwine training, research, and active participation, creating spaces where art and community meet.
