C’è caffè a casa

C’è caffè a casa stems from the desire to explore the theme of emotional dependency with both delicacy and honesty. The project ventures into the quiet, hidden spaces of human relationships, where fragilities, unspoken needs, and subtle tensions often reside. Its aim is to bring these concealed layers to the surface and give them emotional clarity and presence.

From this foundation emerges an artistic journey that uses the body as its main tool of investigation. Dance becomes the chosen language to express what words sometimes distort or fail to hold: desire, fear, attachment, loss. Through an open and experimental choreographic process, movement becomes a way to make inner dynamics visible.

The title C’è caffè a casa evokes the simplicity of a domestic invitation—an everyday gesture that carries warmth, intimacy, and ritual. The home takes on a symbolic meaning: a place of protection, but also the setting where dependencies, habits, and emotional rituals are formed, offering comfort while sometimes creating confinement. Within this imagery, the project explores sensitivity as a space of mutual listening, seeking to illuminate the subtle fabric of relationships and their most vulnerable, profound nuances.
