Have you been to Gorizia before?
If yes: one thing you look forward to doing again
If not: one thing you hope to find
Yes, I was in Gorizia on 1st September 2023 for the In/Visible Cities Festival, with Compagnia TPO’s show +ERBA at the Teatro Verdi. I can’t wait to go back and have some time to visit the city and its historical centre at my own pace.
If you could give a piece of advice to yourself as a child, what would it be?
Enjoy moments with family and friends to the fullest because they are important, live in the present, and approach life as lightly as in a game.
If you had the power to change the world you live in, what would you start with?
I would start with kindness towards every being that is part of this world and care for the environment of the planet we live on.
How did you first come across dance?
When I was four, my mother took me to my first ballet class and from then on I have never wanted to stop. As I grew older, I also began to explore many other dance styles and I still continue to study different types and methods of this endless world called dance.
It is an unstoppable passion!

What was the spark that originated the idea for your performance?
Melodia is a performance resulting from a collaboration between the TPO Company and the Salon Stolz Museum in Graz, Austria. Starting with the biography of Austrian musician Robert Stolz, we decided to embark on a journey into the world of music. The works of Robert Stolz and the adventures of his life were a great source of inspiration for the whole team.
And now, tell me why I should come and see your performance:
Participating in Melodia is like taking a journey into the world of music, you will be transported along with the other audience members onto the stage with us dancers for an immersive experience, and music will be the thread running through this adventure.
