Nothing to Hide travels across Milan, Lisbon, and Athens through a series of international performances that transform the stage into a space of encounter, relationship, and participation. The performance brings bodies, differences, and artistic languages into dialogue, creating a shared experience that challenges cultural boundaries and conventional perceptions of disability through dance, theatre, and contemporary artistic research.
Alongside the performances, the project also presents photographic exhibitions and exhibition paths curated by the partner countries, including PIU(-)ME, curated by Werther Gasperini — an exhibition reflecting on the evolution of mobility, the perception of the body, and the relationship between assistive devices, identity, and the contemporary imagination.
