BASE Milano is a hybrid cultural center serving the city.
Not a museum, not a theater, not just a meeting space or a restaurant, not a traditional coworking space, not a dance hall. We are all of these things combined, and much more.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

\n In Tiger’s Nap, Edoardo Mozzanega invites the audience to take part in a collective nap outdoors. Lying on a large fur rug and wearing sleeping masks shaped like a tiger, participants are guided through a sensory meditation that weaves together sound, imagination and storytelling.

\n Queer Deities in Migration weaves together the stories of seven queer migrants with the ancient mythology of the Caucasus. Each journey of migration, loss and transformation corresponds to a gender-fluid deity, giving life to a universe where myth and the present meet and rewrite each other.

\n Lasting between 60 and 75 minutes and available in English, Spanish or Italian, the work is conceived as a journey that can be realised in almost any urban context.

\n Cinema Impero takes its name from a cinema built in Asmara in 1937, during the Fascist regime. From this symbolic place emerges a reflection on the power of images and narratives: cinema, like artificial intelligence today, contributes to constructing memory, imagination and the perception of reality.

\n 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.

\n 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.
