HA'-BI-TUS

Alessandra Ruggeri 

Milano - Vicenza - Roma - Ravenna

HÀ-BI-TUS is a choreographic work by Alessandra Ruggeri exploring identity, embodiment and transformation. The performance reflects on the cultural, social and environmental structures that shape the self, and on the act of inhabiting one’s body authentically as both a political and poetic gesture.

Through an intimate and layered movement language, HÀ-BI-TUS presents identity as an evolving process, suspended between awareness, resistance and possibility.

Choreography and dance: Alessandra Ruggeri
Soundtrack: Roberto Musci and Giovanni Venosta
Venue: Teatro Elfo Puccini, Milan
Date: 10 January 2025

Persistence of vision

Persistence of Vision extends the optical phenomenon of afterimage into the field of listening: the possibility that a sound, a resonance or a musical gesture may continue to exist in perception even after it has ceased to be heard.

The project revisits Raga Abhogi, a raga from the Indian classical and devotional tradition, through an experimental approach using Western instruments, acoustic textures and extended listening practices.

Music for Labyrinths

Music for Labyrinths is an open live project dedicated to the soundtracks of labyrinths — both those that exist in the world and those we carry within ourselves.

As an ancient symbol of wholeness, the labyrinth brings together the circle and the spiral in a winding, purposeful path. It suggests a journey towards the centre and a return outward, transformed by memory, perception and experience.
