THE SCENOGRAPHER

GIORGIO MADIA

"The vital force of dance, the sacredness of gesture, the integration of dance within a total vision of theatre, the musicality and inseparability between choreographic conception and exponent: to me, these are some of the most affective concepts." (Giorgio Madia)

"For me there is no separation between directing and choreography. I come from dance and I can't help but think of a dynamic staging from its conception. Also because where words are not enough, the movement begins." (Giorgio Madia)

A MIDSUMMER

A MIDSUMMER NIGHT’S DREAM: a blue baroque garden recreated with arches constantly maneuvered by the dancers who, to the rhythm of the music, create galleries, pavilions, mazes and forests. "A dancing set" that tends to astound through the dynamics as described in Eukasz Gazur’s critique for Gazeta Krakowska and Dziennik Polski.

DON JUAN

The idea of moving scenery is as old as European theatre itself. In ancient Greek theatre, text, music, rhythm and dance were staged using mechanical devices, the "skene", to position and move physical elements on stage.

WIENER BLUT

WIENER BLUT whose winning secret are a frenzy of colors and fragrant flowers, a sky of gisteria, delicate rotating scene movements that frame intimate moments, slapstick scenes with a frantic rhythm, duets with gestures
