For the Kor'sia collective, the arts and specifically the arts of movement, as their competence, are the only representations that manage to transmit the human world, everything created by our societies: tradition, society, culture ..., in a way that no other cognitive skill achieves. Surviving in time beyond the societies that produced them and managing to transcend what we call ideas, providing individuals with access to their most intimate and spiritual ways.
Therefore, the objective of this collective is based on the creation of artistic devices whose epicenter is located in the body and that proposes a reflection on the possible gestation of individual and collective spaces, which can provide new access to ways of being and being. in the world through the living arts.
Currently, Antonio de Rosa and Mattia Russo, are the directors and choreographers of the project, together with the Performing Arts researcher and co-founder, Giuseppe Dagostino and the Professor of Performing Arts Agnès López-Río as artistic advisor, are the main architects of the KOR'SIA collective.
