Alessandro Sciarroni

Trained in the fine arts and boasting extensive on-stage experience, since 2007 Alessandro Sciarroni has been designing productions that blend performing arts and modern art. Starting with a conceptual approach, he uses a theatrical system and regularly calls on select techniques and practices derived from dance and related disciplines, including sports and the circus arts. His works are grounded in repetition of practices that try dancers’ physical endurance in an attempt to reveal the obsessions, fears and fragility of performance, seeking 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 creations all over the world, particularly at CENTQUATRE-PARIS, where he is an international associate artist. 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.
