sex.exe. An overlap between ancient and modern codices that share the body as a starting point. The mapping of stage lights remains imprinted, a reference to the cyberfeminist imagination. Alessandra Cozzi, Elena della Manna, and Eleonora Gambini perform the choreography while performing what appears to be a human sacrifice rite within a modern matrix. The choreography begins with three bodies in space exploring a two-dimensional dimension of movement, taking inspiration from the first human figures depicted, from Egyptian hieroglyphic writing, to the tradition of Greek vases, cave paintings, and religious iconography. The Lights overwrite the identity of performance and juxtapose ancient social pyramids with new digital hierarchies and explore the theme of intersectionality in the multiplicity of forms. The project was developed with ResiDance XL – Antiborpi XL, awarded the Prospettiva Danza Teatro 2025, and presented at national festivals and seasons including MilanOLTRe, Teatro India, Officine Caos and Fabbrica del Vapore.

Lavanderia a Vapore Corso Pastrengo, 51 Collegno (TO)Pablo Ezequiel Rizzo Italian-Argentine choreographer and performer, founded the Voluptas company in 2021. Her research investigates the body as a political and sensitive space, exploring post-human and hybrid imaginaries, with a focus on technology, visual arts, and transfeminist practices, particularly the thought of Donna Haraway. Characterized by immersive scenarios and performative devices, it has created a fluid and radical language that dialogues with space, technology and perception.
