REAL GAMES
The Real Games (los juegos de verdad/ i giochi veri) is a radio-dance/drama and a podcast that instead of being listened to is designed to be performed.
The podcast contains 21 real games, 21 audio-based dance scores and theatre games each to be performed in connection to a different everyday task. You can do the Real Games’ performances at home by following the step-by-step audio-instructions in real time while doing a daily activity.
Like meditations in movement, you can enjoy the Real Games by listening, by imagining or by actively dancing. You can do the performances alone or accompanied. Here, now, or later.
This 21-games challenge is created to add a spark of imagination to your daily moves, and it can lead to unexpected results…🕹️

STATO VEGETALE (online)
Moved by the current ecological crisis, Charles Darwin has returned to Earth with an experiment, Stato Vegetale, to save human beings from extinction. The experiment is a performance that invites the audience to get into the body of a plant, to learn its survival skills. Anyone can participate in Stato Vegetale: you will perform the performance live, from your own home, following Darwin's instructions. We also invite you to join the experience, even if you don't want to actively participate.

DRAMASOFÍA +more
A participatory performance that invites the audience to experience philosophical concepts through interactive theatrical games, moving from ideas to actions.
The authors realize an autobiographical travel to their adolescence through the theories of six great philosophers studied at High School: Socrates, Plato, Hume, Mill, Kierkegaard and Nietzsche. Six images are projected from the authors' body and ask out the spectator to consider their own relationship with Philosophy.
Concepts materialize, taking the form, color and movement of dreams, memories and fantasies. Theories are released from the notebook as if they came out of a secret diary.
Concept, devising, performance: Kira Anzizu and Nicoletta Cappello
Technical support: Maria Virzí / Fabio Pecchioli
