A gestural universe unfolds in a wandering and widespread journey, guided by two bodies engaged in the creation of an invisible and mimetic dance, becoming a crossroads between the folds, contours, and natural and artificial elements of the landscape. Between distant and near views, bodily proximity and panoramic distance, lines, vanishing points, and counterpoints, COSMORAMA immerses the audience in an experience of dance in nature, overturning the hierarchy of the gaze and guiding the spectator in a collective ascent that rediscovers living, observing, building, and dancing together with the landscape.
The choreography is also structured in stages. It begins with an expansive field, dozens of meters away from the two artists, dressed in beige pants and sleeveless tops, blending harmoniously with the natural surroundings. The vocabulary is created through slow movements, large gestures that alternate singularity with brief unisons, in a declared dialogue that is never shouted. Everything unfolds naturally: the two artists move closer, sharing some of their weight, and those who choose to enter take on an invisible music. Meanwhile, the passage of a dove in the sky serves as a reminder of the transience of this ceremony.

LIVING LAB MOSAICO DANZA TorinoNICOLA GALLI. Choreographer, dancer, light and costume designer focused on corporeal research. His work spans actions and devices ranging from choreography and performance to installation and graphic-visual design. His artistic practice embraces a cross-disciplinary scenic horizon, where the body becomes the central element of an artistic discourse rooted in a scenic sensibility aimed at exploring movement as a hybrid panorama of knowledge. Since 2010, he has developed a choreographic investigation centered on the deep relationship between man and nature, and the analysis of the concepts of “stratification” and “landscape.” In parallel with his artistic research, he conducts educational programs for children, adults, and young dancers in training. Since 2014, he has been supported by the production organization TIR Danza. In 2018, he won the “Premio Equilibrio” from the Fondazione Musica per Roma and the “Danza & Danza” award as Best Emerging Choreographer. In 2019, he received the national “Sfera d’Oro per la danza” award, and in 2021, the “Radicondoli per il teatro” award for innovation and the use of new technologies in theater with his performance. His creations have been presented in Egypt, France, Germany, Japan, Italy, the Netherlands, Peru, Switzerland, and streamed live in South Korea. He has also collaborated with major international institutions such as the MUSE Museum (Trento), Scuola Normale Superiore (Pisa), Perugia Musica Classica Foundation (Perugia), Institute of the Arts (Seoul), and IUAV University (Venice).
