MY FRIEND - Nourishment and inspiration from music and dance A DJ who, thanks to a portable console and a sling supporting it, plays his music while moving among the audience. A dance troupe that blends in among the people and, at certain moments, performs its choreography. A long table set freely with delicacies for all tastes and a bar corner where you can get water to quench your thirst and wine to toast. Music made for dancing, music played at a volume useful for socialising, a few brief moments of near-silence to have time to immerse oneself more deeply in the here and now and prepare for the next moment. This is the habitat that DJ Raffaele Virgadaula and the dance company Tanzschmiede/Fucinadanza, with choreography by Martina Marini, create during the two hours of MY FRIENDS: a space in which people come together and form an organic group of peers, the celebration of analogue friendship in times of dematerialisation of experiences and binary codification of emotions. The identity of this perfect little dancing society is formed minute by minute and its culture, which puts dance at the centre, is informed by the music and the very personal feelings of those present. MY FRIENDS is a pulsating show, 'easier said than done', like a heartbeat, like breathing. There ARE rhythm and spontaneity, life flowing and ESTEMPORARY relationships, even if only consisting of sharing space, food and drink, THAT ARE forming. One listens and dances, one admires dancing and listens to each other. One lives together, one feels together. info@raffaelevirgadaula.eu ‪@alpsmovesuedtirol‬

LIEBERTÁ is an evening filling piece by Martina Marini and me. Even since 2014 Anastasia Kostner is dancing. Liebertá tells on the topic of freedom, love and the interrelation between both. Through the dancing journey of the character in interplay with the music and the DJ himself, this very universal topic is addressed in various ways. Interviews of local people show the cultural meaning of the words and let the audience feel part of the whole happening.

Performance-installation: On the occasion of Christian Martinelli's "100 clouds project" photo exhibition at ES-ART GALLERY I designed "Sound of my clouds": visitors had the opportunity to compose their own music track starting from a electroacustic precomposing; just looking and observing one of the photographer's cloud.

In collaboration with Marcello Fera (music), Daniel Mazza & Giuseppe Tedeschi (video-installation), Markus Steiner Ender (software programming)

Performance live act: "100 ZONE SONGS" is a Audio CD. It was a project for the contemporary art festival "LanaLive". As DJ and occupational health experts I collected the songs, which people of a industrial zone gladly listen to at work. From the songs I mixed a live broadcast on radio sunshine, a live concert for the same festival and for the festival "The Others" Turin.
