festival-fair · 2026-05-04

Michele Di Stefano's new dance piece Bermudas_Tequila Sunrise, performed by his company Mk, debuted at the Bolzano Danza festival. The work evokes the Bermuda Triangle through kinetic choreography, with ten dancers in colorful shorts and t-shirts moving in circular patterns and sudden shifts. The performance uses Caribbean music, colored lighting, and a fog machine to create an exotic, abstract atmosphere. Di Stefano continues his exploration of alternative travel maps, following previous works like Robinson and Impressions d'Afrique. The piece ends with a blinding aurora-like light, leaving dancers as silhouettes against a boundless nature.
