Two powerful choreographic universes come together: physical and rhythmic language meets collective energy. What follows is an intensely physical and sonic journey through a landscape of tension and underground currents. On one shared stage, different styles spark new movement: raw, layered and unpredictable. Like lava itself—bubbling beneath the surface, ready to erupt, both slow and powerful at once.

L.A.V.A. reveals how intense vitality emerges from difference. Not through harmony, but through friction. Not through distance, but through closeness. Can we endure difference and ultimately see it as fertile new ground?

Since 1995, choreographers Emio Greco and Pieter C. Scholten have been working together. Over the past three decades, they have built a diverse international body of work spanning multiple dance styles, seamlessly blending opera, theatre, music and film into dance. In L.A.V.A., they join forces with Italian choreographer and artist Roberto Zappalà.
