The Venice Biennale's dance festival is presenting a digital retrospective, '20 anni di Danza alla Biennale', featuring videos, photos, interviews, and reflections from performances since 1999. The Historical Archive (ASAC) is online for the first time with a specific schedule, offering three daily appointments until May 5. Highlights include works by Carolyn Carlson, Steve Paxton, Pina Bausch, William Forsythe, Lucinda Childs, Anne Teresa De Keersmaeker, Jiří Kylián, and Sylvie Guillem, who closes the program on May 5 with a conversation led by Elisa Vaccarino. Evening performances feature works by J. Beuys Song, Saburo Teshigawara, Shobana Jeyasingh, Anton Lachky, Michele Di Stefano, and Francesca Pennini/Collettivo Cinetico. Additionally, from May 18, a virtual tour of the exhibition 'L'idea del corpo' (Merce Cunningham, Steve Paxton, Julian Beck, Meredith Monk, Simone Forti) will be available on the Biennale website. The physical Biennale Danza has been postponed to October.
