Panzetti / Ticconi (Ginevra Panzetti und Enrico Ticconi)

Ginevra Panzetti and Enrico Ticconi, based in Berlin and Torino, have been working as a duo since 2008. Their artistic research interlaces dance, performance, and visual art. Deepening themes related to the historical union between communication, violence, and power, they draw on ancient imaginaries, creating hybrid figures or images between history and contemporaneity.
Both graduated from the Academy of Fine Arts in Rome and attended Stoà, School for rhythmic movement and philosophy in Cesena, led by Claudia Castellucci. In 2010 they moved to Germany and delved into individual, but mutually complementary paths: Ginevra Panzetti studied Media Art at the Hochschule für Grafik und Buchkunst (HGB) in Leipzig and Enrico Ticconi Dance, Context, Choreography at the Inter-University Centre for Dance (HZT) in Berlin.
They gained international recognition with their choreographic work »Harleking« (2018) that has been presented at the European platform Aerowaves Twenty 19, the New Italian Dance (NID) Platform, and at Tanzplattform Deutschland 2020. In 2019 they won the 13th Arte Laguna Prize for the site-specific performance »Jardin/Arsenale«, they received the Danza&Danza Prize as emerging choreographers, and were nominated »Promising Talent of the Year« by the Jahrbuch Tanz.
One of their artistic research investigates the symbolic power of the flag and took shape through the realization of a diptych composed by two choreographic works (»AeReA« / 2019 and »ARA! ARA!« / 2021) and was concluded with a filmic work (»Silver Veiled« / 2021). In 2021 they were commissioned by the Berlin based Dance On Ensemble to realize one of their first group piece »MARMO«, a choreographic response to the work of Lucinda Childs, while INSEL one of their latest work, for 4 performers, premiered in 2023 at Tanz Im August Festival in Berlin. In 2024, they premiered two new creations, commissioned by the Singaporean T.H.E. Dance Company (»MALEBRANCHE – Harleking Multitude«) and the Croatian Studio Contemporary Dance Company (»ALL’ARME«).
In 2025, they will collaborate with Dance Theatre Heidelberg for the first time, choreographing one part of the double bill »Dance x 2«. In »IT’S NIGHT AGAIN«, they explore the cyclical gesture of throwing—perhaps a stone, perhaps a disc—a motion that suggests both defence and attack. This act of throwing continually generates new situations and so-called choreographic bubbles, supported and driven by a transformed musical landscape.
