Hope

HOUSE OF THE ARTS HOSTS "HOPE" BY THE ARIELLA VIDACH AiEP COMPANY
A journey through body, technology, and new contemporary identities.

On Friday, November 28, 2025, at 8:30 PM (doors open at 8:00 PM), Casa delle Arti in Conversano welcomes "HOPE," the new creation by the Ariella Vidach AiEP company, a pioneer in the exploration of dance, body, and digital technologies.

With the advent of social media and virtual reality, the concept of the body has transformed: increasingly connected, mediated, yet also distant from the sensory and tangible experience that shapes emotions and memory.
“HOPE” reaffirms the importance of physicality as an essential dimension of living, inviting reflection on the value of the real body in an increasingly digital world.
The performance explores the "new bodies" of the present—social, technological, biological, and political—offering a poetic and clear perspective on the evolution of contemporary identity.
A constant dialogue between dance and technology becomes an immersive experience that connects the audience and performers in a shared sensory and symbolic territory.

Dancers: Sofia Casprini, Roberta Di Serio, Carmine Dipace, Francesca Linnea Ugolini, Giuseppe Zagaria

For over thirty years, Ariella Vidach AiEP has been an avant-garde artistic laboratory using new technologies as a field of expressive exploration.
