In ›MOMENTUM‹ three dancers take themselves to the very edge of their physical limits driven by DJ Franco Mento’s pulsating live beats. United by rhythm and speed, lighting effects and frenzied sounds, their movements unleash a hypnotic source of energy that seems to connect them seamlessly with the audience in a shared and ever-intensifying kinesthetic experience.

Based on a research on Parkour, a sport that takes every obstacle in a given space as an occasion for new possibilities in movement, ›MOMENTUM‹ plays with the magnetic fascination that derives from the opportunity to lose oneself in the moment and the impulse of movement, allowing physical perception in the here and now.
