MANIFESTUS by Jacopo Jenna comes to life as a performance and ends up infecting everything around it. Bodies meet, move apart, shift rhythm, move through the codes of street dance and transform the space into something alive, in constant motion.
Then something happens: the performance expands, the stage opens and the audience enters the flow.
It continues with a DJ set by SLY, a journey through Black and Street sounds where the dancefloor becomes the natural extension of the performance. No boundary between those who watch and those who dance: just a floor to move through together.
