Interplay Festival Brings Contemporary Dance to Turin

The Interplay festival in Turin, directed by Natalia Casorati, returns with a program exploring dance as a tool for social investigation. The 2023 edition features established choreographers like Enzo Cosimi, Fabrizio Favale, Alessandro Sciarroni, and Abbondanza-Bertoni alongside recognized talents Daniele Ninarello, Carlo Massari, and Stefania Tansini, as well as emerging artists Fabritia D'Intino, Laura Gazzani, Emanuele Rosa, Maria Focaraccio, and collectives Michele Ifigenia Tyche and Funa. International participants include Belgian Cassiel Gaube, German Moritz Ostruschnjak, Dutch company Tu Hoang and Hiro Murata, Tunisian Hamdi Dridi (based in Montpellier), Israeli Or Marin, and four Spanish groups: Colectivo Glovo, Ertza, Carla Cervantes Caro & Sandra Egido Ibanez, and Lasala. The festival supports young choreographers and performers while maintaining projects for established artists, partnering with networks Crossing the Sea, Red Acieloaberto, Étape Dance, and Network Anticorpi XL. Performances take place in theaters, squares, and peripheral urban spaces to reach new audiences and reclaim difficult areas. Interplay emphasizes international companies often excluded from mainstream circuits, presenting a rich panorama of Italian and global choreographic research.
