APOTROPIA (IT)

APOTROPIA is a Rome-based artist duo formed by Antonella Mignone and Cristiano Panepuccia. Their work explores the intersections of dance, performing arts and live audiovisual production. Using light, sound, motion, bodies and time, APOTROPIA create works that explore the philosophical, anthropological and scientific elements of human culture.

Mignone was trained at Teatro Nuovo Ballet Academy of Turin and in 2001 was admitted into Academy Isola Danza directed by Carolyn Carlson, during the 49th Venice Biennale. She graduated from La Sapienza University of Rome with a degree in Art and Performing Arts in 2010.
