Finzioni (Fictions) by Lupa Maimone, presented as part of the “Attraverso Sant’Orsola” evening, is a project that explores choreographic language between object, dance, and figure, where the body, in a state of continuous becoming, gives life to shifting forms and nonlinear situations. The project unfolds as a series of disconnected moments, dreamlike sequences that together construct a surrealist universe. Each scene, like a fragment of a dream, follows its own inner logic, where body and environment become distorted. Every gesture is a small fiction that forms and dissolves like a game of deception and revelation: between being and appearing, the body shatters, reassembles, and transforms.
Founded in 1994 with the ambition of creating a European cultural home in Florence, Fabbrica Europa has, over thirty years, become a major hub for contemporary artistic languages. By transforming the Stazione Leopolda—a former industrial site—into a vibrant cultural space, it has pioneered international artistic exchange, building bridges between Europe and Asia, Africa, the Americas, and beyond through dance, music, theatre, interdisciplinary formats, and visual arts. Through 30 festival editions, production and training projects, and strong international collaborations, Fabbrica Europa has positioned Florence as a meeting point for diverse cultures and innovative artistic practices. The European Union has consistently supported its initiatives, from early Kaleidoscope and Culture 2000 programmes to Culture 2007–2013, recognizing its European impact. Over the years, Fabbrica Europa has led or partnered in numerous EU-funded projects exploring heritage, gesture, mobility, and cross-cultural exchange. In 2003, the Fabbrica Europa Foundation for Contemporary Arts was created, reinforcing its mission to connect creativity and production, support artists, and build collaborative cultural policies. Recognized as a regionally relevant cultural body and a Third Sector Entity (ETS) since 2022, Fabbrica Europa continues to develop international cooperation, artistic innovation, and cultural exchange at the European level.
