Background & Collaborations

Choreographic Works

Matteo's work explores the dialogue between body, space, and sound, blending movement, theatricality, and visual research. He has presented his work at prestigious institutions such as the Venice Biennale, Munich Philharmonic Gasteig and the Bayerische Staatsoper, creating pieces that fuse baroque imagination, sonic experimentation, and reections on human nature.

Artistic Vision

At the core of Matteo’s work lies a fascination with transformation—of bodies, landscapes, and the unseen forces that shape them. His pieces aims to dissolve boundaries between disciplines, creating performances that feel both immediate and dreamlike, structured yet fluid. Through movement, light, and sound, he invites audiences into ephemeral worlds where presence and illusion intertwine.
