What happens when two worlds collide? What happens when the invisible becomes visible? Two arts and three artists with different origins (Bolivia, Italy, Germany) who share space and time to meet and communicate through their body (dance), form and color (painting).

Two inertias that enter into dialogue about what happened in the past, what happened in the present, reacting and listening to the silence of each one. The artistic proposal is born from the need to fuse contemporary dance with live painting and create a dialogue between these two different ways of expressing oneself and seeing the world.

contemporary dance

Two arts, which in themselves are silent, but at the same time capable of stirring and creating internal noise. During the performative exhibition these two worlds meet and collide, inspire and feedback, and finally end up in perfect symbiosis having shared an instant creation. The result is unpredictable, open - the spontaneous is given place. The public can experience in the moment a unique process of creation between painting and movement, between colour and body.
