Movement oscillates between lightness and strength, balance and abandon, moving through rhythms and gestures that evoke Brazilian urban dance. Breath, pauses and the beating of feet become part of the choreography, giving life to a presence in continuous transformation. At the heart of the work emerges the theme of disguise as a practice of transmission: a way of preserving and […]

Swing Tuesday

Swing Tuesday is an evening dedicated to swing music and dancing, where the audience gets to decide what goes on the playlist. At the entrance, everyone receives three little fruit-shaped beads, known as “fruttini”, to vote for their favourite styles: Lindy Hop, Boogie Woogie, Blues, Rockabilly and Shag/Balboa. The votes shape the evening’s playlist, with more time dedicated to the […]

BASE Milano è un centro culturale ibrido al servizio della città.
Non un museo, non un teatro, non solo uno spazio aggregativo o un ristorante, non un coworking tradizionale, non un locale da ballo.
Siamo tutte queste cose insieme e anche molto altro.

2manydjs (DJ Set)

14 — 15 Nov ROOM 1400

OFFBEAT and Circolo Magnolia join forces once again, bringing 2manydjs to BASE for a night of musical crossovers, unexpected sounds and dancefloor rhythms. From prog-rock to R&B, from hip hop to German techno, the Dewaele brothers move freely across genres and musical references, with no fixed boundaries. Alongside their renowned DJ sets, they are also the minds behind Soulwax, one […]

Sognare, forse dormire — a sleeping performance

FAROUT Live Arts Festival
live performance

21 — 22 Nov ROOM 1400

A guiding voice and a sound composition gradually lead from wakefulness into sleep, creating the conditions to explore lucid dreaming. During the night, music, sounds and brief appearances by the performer and musicians move through the space discreetly, interweaving with the sleep of those taking part. Small shifts in perception open a simple question: Am I dreaming? Suspended between sleep […]

24 Nov
H19:00 Armani/Silos

Sentimental2 brings together Cristina Kristal Rizzo, Silvia Calderoni and Annamaria Ajmone in a site-specific choreography that takes shape anew each time through its encounter with the place that hosts it. For three hours, the three performers move through the spaces of Armani/Silos, shifting between different movements, rhythms and qualities: at times an almost imperceptible gesture takes hold of the space […]

Toi, moi, Tituba…

26 Nov
H20:30 ROOM 1400

Starting from the figure of Tituba — the Black woman accused of witchcraft in the Salem trials and protagonist of Maryse Condé’s novel — Dorothée Munyaneza constructs a solo that moves through memory, body and history. Dance, voice and music become instruments for restoring presence to those who have been erased, reduced to silence or excluded from official narratives, exploring […]

DESIRE RESIDE – Rethinking the conditions for artistic research, from practice to policy

residenze

1 — 2 Dec Ground Hall

Artistic research opens up room for experimentation, produces knowledge, and questions established languages and categories. Yet whether it can exist at all depends on material, cultural and institutional conditions that are never neutral. In a cultural system increasingly geared towards output, measurable results and proof of impact, what room is left for open, non-linear processes whose value cannot be set […]

YO VOMITO YUAN

FAROUT Live Arts Festival
live performance

1 Dec
H20:30 ROOM 1400

IO VOMITO YUAN is born from the homonymous book written by Yuan Hu as a Master’s thesis. Between narrative writing and critical reflection, the text moves through politics, science fiction, philosophy and questions of gender in a fragmented and visionary language that resists all classification. The performance transforms this writing into voice and body, questioning the condition of the contemporary […]

KaraOCHE

FAROUT Live Arts Festival
live performance

2 Dec
H21:00 yesROOM

The performance blends the atmosphere of a karaoke bar with surreal elements, creating a space suspended between reality and fiction, where animal stories, human tragedies, and existential questions intertwine. Through singing, dancing, and spoken word, karaoke becomes a place where unauthorized, eccentric, and marginalized voices find legitimacy and space to speak.
