In 2025, Dance Reflections by Van Cleef & Arpels presents, in collaboration with the Seoul Performing Arts Festival, Save the Last Dance for Me by Alessandro Sciarroni as part of the Dance Reflections by Van Cleef & Arpels Festival in Seoul.
Since 2007, Alessandro Sciarroni has been designing productions that blend performing and visual arts. Trained in fine arts and boasting extensive on-stage experience, he takes a conceptual and theatrical approach, incorporating techniques and practices derived from dance and related disciplines, including sports and circus arts. His works are grounded in the repetition of practices that try dancers’ physical endurance in an attempt to reveal the obsessions, fears, and fragility of performance. This process seeks to create a new time dimension and a bond of empathy between performers and spectators. A contributor to various international artistic projects and networks, Alessandro Sciarroni is regularly invited to present his pieces all over the world. He was awarded the Golden Lion for Lifetime Achievement in Dance at the 2019 Venice Biennale Danza. Alessandro Sciarroni is Associated Artist at CENTQUATRE– Paris and at Triennale Milano Teatro 2022–2024.
