A new encounter between art and dance
Brought together by a commitment to multidisciplinary and experimental artistic research with an international purpose, the Centro Coreografico Nazionale / Aterballetto and Collezione Maramotti collaborate to create new imaginings and ways of experiencing the moving body and artworks.
Touchpoint is a project that blends dance and visual arts, resulting from the encounter between Aterballetto dancers and sixteen works from the Collezione Maramotti.
Inspired and moved by specific contemporary artworks, the dancers express themselves through body language, gesture, expression, and costumes they have chosen.
The artworks—fifteen displayed in the Collezione's galleries and one at the Max Mara flagship store in Milan—are grouped into four thematic clusters: Icon, Landscape, Essence, and Dwelling.
The dancer's individual experience highlights a different possibility of interacting with the artwork. Moving instinctively away from the intention to find definitive answers or develop a predefined interpretation of the artworks, the dancers' actions expand the boundaries, trace unexpected trajectories, and imbue the pieces with new values, inviting the audience to experience sculptures, paintings, and installations beyond a singular meaning.
