A HOUSE THAT BREATHES
Motus was born as a natural extension of the artistic and political experience of the Motus theatre collective, not just as a place of residence and creation, but as an ecosystem.
It is a space dedicated to the permeability between performing arts, feminist ecologies, and critical thought; a crossroads between a rural past and future imaginaries.
The House
Nestled in the hills
Valconca, just a few kilometres from the sea,
Casa Motus è un rifugio aperto, uno spazio
a space in transformation.
Here, we listen, we observe, we cultivate the slow passage of time that creation demands. The rooms open to new presences, the landscape weaves itself into daily gestures, and practices take root in the rhythm of the days.
Casa Motus is the beating heart of a new path that deepens the roots of Motus’s work as cultural association and theatre collective, founded in 1991 by Daniela Nicolò and Enrico Casagrande, within the Rimini territory.
After decades of work between theatrical research and international nomadism, with
Casa Motus, Daniela and Enrico – who have lived here for more than thirty years –
have made a courageous and open choice for the land, deciding to transform a
private property into a Common Good, an open and shared space. In doing so, they
acknowledge the land, its history, and the local community as living and active
elements in their future poetic vision.
This place continues the same experimental tension, the same urgency for the
relationship between art and reality that has defined their entire artistic journey.
