Camilla Monga on Dance, Music, and Museums

Choreographer Camilla Monga, born in 1987, reflects on her creation "Duetto in ascolto," which she developed alongside composer Zeno Baldi. The work premiered at Theatre Art Verona in October, subsequently moving to Mart in Rovereto, and is set to be showcased at Triennale Milano. Monga emphasizes the interplay between dance and music, featuring evolving musical phrases and dynamic dance movements. Lighting designer Alessio Guerra contributed to the vision with his illumination techniques, while curved mirrors generate optical effects. Monga acknowledges the challenge of originality in conceptual dance, citing influences from artists like Anne Teresa De Keersmaeker and Trisha Brown, yet insists on her unique approach. Future performances are scheduled for March 14 at Teatro Grande in Brescia and a new endeavor for Bolzano Danza.
