IN A LANDSCAPE
Don’t Be Frightened of Turning the Page / Save the Last Dance for Me / Third Dialogue: In a Landscape (Alessandro Sciarroni / CollettivO CineticO)
Alessandro Sciarroni
Three works meticulously exploring practices, traditional dances and the concept of “turning.”
The Italian choreographer, celebrated for his style of rigor, coherence and clarity at the intersection of visual arts and dance, presents three works exploring his research on practices, traditional dances and the concept of “turning”—Don't Be Frightened of Turning the Page (solo), Save the Last Dance for Me (duo, Japan premiered at Kyoto Experiment in 2024), and Third Dialogue: In a Landscape (in collaboration with CollettivO CineticO). The title “IN A LANDSCAPE” comes from John Cage's 1948 piano composition for dance.

Artist Information
- Alessandro Sciarroni
Alessandro Sciarroni is an Italian artist active in the field of Performing Arts with several years of experience in visual arts and theater research. His work starts from a conceptual Duchamp-like matrix using a theatrical framework and they are featured in festivals, museums and unconventional spaces, in whole Europe, South and North America and Asia. In his creations he involves professionals from different disciplines and uses some techniques and experiences from dance, as well as circus or sports. His work tries to uncover obsessions, fears and fragilities of the act of performing, through the repetition of a practice to the limits of the physical endurance of the interpreters, looking at a different dimension of time and an empathic relationship between the audience and the performers. In 2019 he was awarded the Golden Lion for Lifetime Achievement in Dance by the Venice Biennial. Alessandro Scarroni is associate artist of MARCHE TEATRO.
