MORAINE – Capitolo I. Through choreographic storytelling, the project explores the concept of loss — of memory, of territory, of balance — bringing out its transformative dimension. The stage costumes, created in collaboration with the Pistoletto Foundation in Biella and the UNIDEE Academy, evoke the fragility of glacial systems and are designed using recycled materials and sustainable production processes, becoming themselves a testament to an ecological and circular vision of art. The scenography, by Punto Rec Studios, integrates video projections and lighting design to blend the real and imaginary dimensions. Textures and colours recall the iridescent hues of glaciers and Alpine waters, constructing an immersive and evocative visual landscape. The choreographers and performers give voice to a pressing contemporary concern, sharing with the audience a reflection on the human and geological memory we are gradually losing. In this sense, the choreography takes the form of a living archive of climate change and collective memories, translating into the performance space the layering of stories, landscapes and cultures encountered during the research process.
The creative project for the show Moraine is the winner of the Starter call for proposals by the Fondazione Compagnia di San Paolo for the two-year period 2025–2027.

LIVING LAB MOSAICO DANZA Strada della Viola TorinoCollettivo Lattea. The collective was formed when dancers and performers Chiara Cardona, Francesca Massaioli and Ornella Trespidi came together; they share a solid background in the performing arts and bring distinct individual perspectives to their collaborative work. The collective’s work explores contemporary social issues, examining the present through the body. Moving between conventional theatre spaces and site-specific contexts, the performance stems from a relationship with the local area and everyday life, positioning the body as a tool for listening, connection and transformation. The collective has received significant recognition, including Incubatore 2025 (BASE Milano) and DiDstudio_NAOpf25, curated by Ariella Vidach. For the two-year period 2025–2027, it is also the winner of the Starter call for proposals by the Fondazione Compagnia di San Paolo, with the project to create the show Moraine. In 2026, it is scheduled to feature in the Palcoscenico Danza season at the TPE – Teatro Piemonte Europa in Turin and is included in the international programme of the Quinzena de Dança de Almada – International Dance Festival (Portugal).
