alto
A bespoke show
ALTO is a site-specific creation that fuses vertical dance, contemporary dance, hip-hop, and contemporary circus to engage with architecture and the audience.
Conceived as an immersive experience, the performance plays with both horizontal and vertical movement, revealing the hidden poetry of the locations—facades, columns, courtyards, or natural landscapes—and offering a new interpretation of the space.
Inspired by Michel Foucault's concept of heterotopia, ALTO explores the idea that each choice opens up a new dimension. The artists thus weave multiple narratives, where bodies traverse different planes and realities, in a constant tension between gravity and weightlessness.
With a choreographic style that combines technical virtuosity and poetry, ALTO creates powerful and unforgettable images that leave a lasting impression on both the spectators and the space that hosts them.
