Compagnia TPO
Creators of A Forest in the City
Italy’s Compagnia TPO (Teatro di Piazza o d’Occasione) is an internationally renowned, pioneering, multidisciplinary performance group that melds music, dance, art, sculpture, digital media, lighting and sound into a one-of-kind, interactive experience. Their work has been described as ‘visual, emotional, tactile and immersive’. They specialise in using digital designs to create ‘sensitive environments’ where art and play can be experienced, in dialogue with players in motion, individual dancers or children. Images and sounds interface with moving bodies onstage, transforming live gestures and virtual landscapes into interactive art environments. The TPO Company’s work is directed by a versatile and tight-knit team composed of Davide Venturini, Francesco Gandi, (artistic direction), Elsa Mersi (visual design), Spartaco Cortesi (sound design), Rossano Monti and Martin von Günten (engineering).
