ABOUT

MATTEO CARVONE

Credo in un'arte non elitaria,

in un artista che sappia collegare la mente e la pancia attraverso il cuore.

Credo nell'artigianalità del lavoro

e credo fermamente nella sacralità del linguaggio del corpo".

CREATIONS

Dance - Theatre - Installation

The architectural space, in which the choreographic work takes place is never intended and designed as a decorative element, but rather as one of the foundations on which Carvone builds his work.

Space is sometimes translated into Video and Video installations which Carvone create himself.
