Noid, Uygur Vural, Yoram Rosilio
Vanessa Mattei Scarpaccini
Noid : Cello
Uygur Vural : Cello
Yoram Rosilio : Doublebass
This unrealised Trio crafts soundscapes from the unknown. Two cellos and a double bass, entwined in a dance of instinct, carve raw frequencies from the void. Strings groan, whisper, rebel—textures shift like shadows, never settling. Each note is an accident, each silence a question. They reject harmony, embrace chaos. Underground rituals unfold, driven by impulse, unrepeatable. A murmur, a scream, a pulse in the dark—always unexpected, always alive.

Vanessa Mattei Scarpaccini,
born in Cortona in 2004, is a young Italian-Polish dancer.
Her delicate research focuses on the gifts that body offers to space, to time, and to their rhythms. She pays careful attention to the state the body inhabits. Through an extremely receptive and available body, she composes.
The project she proposes is a contemporary dance solo that, starting from an autobiographical device, finds concreteness in an analogy that has always characterized her days: it is named after a butterfly called Vanessa io.
Vanessa io is found in the temperate regions of Europe and Asia.
She frequents woods and gardens, fluttering from March to October.
Vanessa is also my name.
A study about the sweetness of remembering.
The limbs gather in small acts of resistance against melting into the rituals of hiding and escaping. Space is moved and stirred as the autobiographical pretext becomes body. This is simply an act of gratitude for that little me who will always be a great part of me.

DILATE trio
is a subgroup of a larger collaborative audio-visual ensemble that has been performing together in live, remote and hybrid configurations since the onset of the pandemic. As experimental improvisers, DILATE is committed to live connection that bridges disciplines while in pursuit of innovative ways of thinking about and applying technology, inserting a sense of play, serendipity and creative invention.
We are deep in consideration of “remediation” as a multi-faceted concept and process over time. We must constantly visualize and conjure impactful energy that is both agile and persistent to both breakdown and germinate. “remediation” reinforces the cultivation of compassionate humanity.
