KIAC

Based in Berlin and Torino, they have been working as
a duo since 2008. Their artistic research interlaces dance, performance and visual art. Deepening themes related to the historical union between communication, violence and power, they draw on ancient imaginaries, creating hybrid figures or images between history and contemporaneity.
In 2019 they won the 13th Arte Laguna Prize, the first edition of Premio Hermès Danza Triennale Milano and the Danza&Danza prize as emerging choreographers. With the work “HARLEKING” they have been selected by the European platform AEROWAVES Twenty 19, the New Italian Dance (NID) Platform 2019.

“Crossing the sea” is a project that aims to establish long-term connections and cooperations in the performing art sector between Italy, Middle East, Asia, Oceania and South America. The project is supported by the Italian Ministry of Culture through the Boarding Pass Plus programme.
Through open calls dedicated to young artists and professionals, the partners will drive and promote an internationalization process that will focus on networking, sharing of information, understanding of different audiences, co-productions, participation in platforms, organizing meetings and showcases.
The partnership (actually composed by 26 organizations from 19 countries) wants to strengthen and qualify the relationship between different geographic areas, creating an informal network where the participant organizations will also act as local antennas.
