𝐔𝐧’𝐞𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐧𝐚 𝐩𝐫𝐢𝐦𝐚𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐚 at Centro Elisarion in Minusio

A New Creation by Angela Calia: Between Dance, Memory, and Art

From July 4 to 6, 2025, the Elisarion Center in Minusio will host 𝐔𝐧’𝐞𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐧𝐚 𝐩𝐫𝐢𝐦𝐚𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐚, a site-specific dance-theatre performance conceived and directed by Angela Calia. This event invites the audience on an immersive journey through the spaces of the building, blending dance, live music, and visual imagery in a profound dialogue with the memory of the place.

Every place is also made of those who have lived it.

In this creation, the Elisarion Center becomes a body to be crossed.Inspired by the legacy and vision of its two founders, Elisàr von Kupffer and Edward von Mayer, the performance evokes the three souls that have inhabited and shaped this unique space: spirituality, worldliness, and artistic and intellectual pursuit.

The audience is guided through a theatrical journey that does not simply represent the past, but traverses and transcends it—carrying its traces into the present.A poetic and sensory tribute to a symbolic place, with the hope that its art may truly experience an eternal spring.
