Michele Di Stefano & Lorenzo Bianchi Hoesch

Put on the headphones. Let the city become a stage. Veduta is a walking performance — or more precisely, a standing-still performance in which everything around you starts to move differently. Created by Silver Lion recipient Michele Di Stefano and composer Lorenzo Bianchi Hoesch, it places dancers in real urban and natural spaces and delivers their movement to you through a holophonic sound score on headphones.
You don’t follow the performers. You watch them from where you are, near and far simultaneously, as the sound locates them in three dimensions around your head. The city doesn’t change. Your perception of it does.
This edition of Veduta covers two locations — Bolzano city center and San Martino in Badia — with dancers from Spellbound Contemporary Ballet. Two completely different landscapes, two completely different experiences.
