Founded in 2014 by artistic director and choreographer Nunzio Impellizzeri, the NUNZIO IMPELLIZZERI DANCE COMPANY creates contemporary dance works that transform the stage and immerse audiences in unforgettable, intense experiences.
The company transforms the individuality and presence of its dancers into a living ensemble, where fragility and strength merge in vibrant tension. Each creation emerges through a co-creation process between the choreographer and the dancers, fostering authentic connections and dynamic interactions that make every performance both vivid, essential, and immediately recognizable.
Rooted in the visual arts, Nunzio integrates visual aesthetics, costumes, sets, and lighting as extensions of the body’s language and perception. By selecting dancers with strong technical identity and poetic presence, he creates heterogeneous scenic constellations, where individual movement fuels the ensemble’s collective energy and momentum.
The company’s work is defined by energy, contrast, and authenticity, moving between delicacy and strength and leaving a clear, lasting impression on the audience. Dance emerges as a powerful medium, making social dynamics, space, and relationships tangible and physically felt.
Internationally recognized for the artistic excellence of its dancers and the power of their physical language, the Nunzio Impellizzeri Dance Company has presented its works at theaters and festivals across Switzerland, Germany, Italy, Poland, Finland, Denmark, Russia, Spain, Chile, and North and Central America.
The company fosters collaboration, curiosity, and innovation, building bridges between artists, audiences, and communities, and establishing itself as a reference for artistic excellence and a living experimental practice in the international contemporary dance scene.
