Fernando Belfiore-The Netherlands.
20:30 (45’) ‘Panos Solomonides’ Cultural Centre.

AL13FB<3 investigates the idea of body-sculpture. Fernando (per)forms an encounter with elements to construct physical experiences, body states and retranslates emotions. While leading his audience through poetic and futuristic worlds, he explores the potential of transformation and let the body unfold new materiality. Belfiore reshapes the environment as an alchemic relation of re-creation and renewal. 

Fernando Belfiore is a choreographer, performer and teacher based in Amsterdam. He graduated from SNDO in 2011 (School for New Dance Development – Amsterdam School of The Arts).
