Mondo

Mondo is the resistance of a child playing in a playground, the tenacity of one who sculpts himself without stopping, it is ‘the totality of facts and not of things’.

The project was selected for the Italian residency program ResiDance XL 2022 and the NID Platform 2024. He’s currently carrying out a new choreographic creation for 2024: “To Repel Ghosts/Letter to the Father”, a research on masculinity. He continues to work as a translator for Italian publishers and academic publications. His deep wish is that his path may be made of his own steps, and not the other way around.
