Bottega Veneta again collaborated with the Biennale Danza

Bottega Veneta and the Biennale Danza collaborated once again this year to bring art and fashion to the stage. The brand directed by Mathieu Blazy supported the Biennale College Danza 2023, an event that celebrates dance in all its forms. One of the highlights of this edition is the performance entitled When I Am Facing U, choreographed by artist Xie Xin, who presented it on July 28 and 29 giving viewers the opportunity to admire the mastery of the dancers of the Biennale College Danza 2023 as they bring this powerful choreography to life with costumes designed by Blazy for the occasion. The archetypal denim silhouettes are printed on silk, creating a contrast. The casualness of the shapes and the fluidity of the material reflect the sensuality of the choreography.

Xie Xin expressed his deep connection with the work created for the Biennale College Dance 2023 by saying: «My work created for and dedicated to the Biennale College Danza 2023 is When I Am Facing U. In silence, there is an indefinable feeling, which is well-remembered by the body. I am facing you, facing myself, facing the problems, facing this moment. Everyone will encounter a moment when there are ripples in your heart, and many words in your mind. Time and memory wash against my cheeks. I stand still and get pulled by something, unable to take a step, let alone say a word. That is something captured by the body, but there is just no way to express it in words. It is so precious that I want to capture this very moment in my memory...»

The Teatro Piccolo Arsenale was the venue chosen for this extraordinary performance, the perfect stage to enhance the beauty and power of the dancers' performances and their magnificent costumes. The combination of fashion and dance in this event is a testament to the importance of collaboration between the arts, turning the stage into a canvas on which an extraordinary experience is painted.
