​THE FESTIVAL

​

Twenty years of research on body and place Founded in 2006 in Sant'Agata dei Goti, MOVIMENTALE has moved through Naples' major cultural institutions — from the Madre to the Goethe-Institut, to Teatro Area Nord — remaining faithful to a single principle: reactivating places through the body and movement, transforming urban and natural spaces into performative devices. At Capodimonte, this principle takes on greater ambition.

The Museum and the Wood are not simply host venues: they are living matter that enters into dialogue with the performative body, generating relationships between nature, architecture, art, and community.

​

Six choreographers were invited to choose from a selection of twelve masterworks from the collections of the Museo di Capodimonte an artwork aligned with their own research, and to create an original performance in response.

Masterpieces of art history thus become sources of inspiration for the choreographers, activating a deep dialogue between memory and the present, between classical aesthetics and performative languages.
