From the simplest to the most complex situations, assumption is a fundamental human trait. We instinctively seek answers and explanations.<\/p>\n<p><em>What do you see, or Not<\/em> is conceived as a dance performance that invites the audience to question what they perceive on stage. Movements, sounds, emotions\u2014may not be what they seem at first glance. They may reveal different truths than those we initially perceived.<\/p>\n<p>This piece is intended for everyone, aiming to provoke an internal reaction. The choreographer hopes that by the end of the performance, the audience will recognize that what happens on stage mirrors what happens in everyday life. The work serves as a bridge\u2014connecting us to something we often deny: the chance to reconsider our assumptions about a friend, a family member, or even a stranger on the street.<\/p>\n<p>For younger audiences (especially teenagers), the performance offers an opportunity to become more thoughtful and empathetic; for mature viewers, it provides space to re-examine personal perspectives.<\/p>\n<p>The performance is structured in three parts, exploring the themes of loneliness, self-confidence, reliance on others, and prejudice.<\/p>\n<p>Creative team:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Choreography: Michele Pastorini<\/li>\n<li>Choreographic Assistant: Valentina Chou<\/li>\n<li>Costume Design: Maria Mattaranz<\/li>\n<li>Performers: Michele Pastorini, Valentina Chou, Maria Mattaranz<\/li>\n<li>Music: Rijeka Chamber Philharmonic (Osman Eyublu, Golnar Mohajeri, Pedro Rosenthal Campuzan)<\/li>\n<li>Lighting Design: Kristian Baljarevski<\/li>\n<li>Stage Manager: Anca Zguri\u0107 Popa<\/li>\n<li>Project Coordination: Vivien Balint<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Michele Pastorini, originally from Sicily, studied classical ballet at the Vincenzo Bellini Academy in Catania. At 17, he joined the Citt\u00e0 di Agrigento company specializing in folk performances and toured extensively across Europe.
