Kinkaleri

Kinkaleri was founded in 1995 and currently consists of Massimo Conti, Marco Mazzoni and Gina Monaco.
The group operates at the intersection of experimental theatre, movement research and performance art, creating a multidisciplinary practice that spans installations, staging and soundscapes. Rather than adhering to a specific style, they seek a language rooted in the raw immediacy of the object itself.
The company’s work has been presented throughout Italy and abroad, in theatres, contemporary art museums, dance and theatre festivals, galleries, including Triennale Teatro dell’Arte – Milan, Teatro Metastasio, Teatro Fabbricone – Prato, Teatro Grande – Brescia, Sophiensaele and KunstHalle Deutsche Bank – Berlin, Centre Pompidou – Paris, Kaaitheater and KunstenFESTIVALdesArts – Bruxelles, Centro per l’Arte Contemporanea Pecci – Prato, Fondazione Gulbenkian – Lisboa, Kitazawa Town Hall – Tokyo, Oriental Pioneer Theatre – Beijing, Mercat de les flors – Barcelona, La Batie Festival – Geneve, Festival di Santarcangelo – Santarcangelo, Biennale Danza – Venice, Villa Romana – Florence, MAXXI – Rome.
In 2002 the group is awarded the LO STRANIERO bets for the future prize and the UBU prize for the performance OTTO as best dancetheater performance of the year.
Since 2001, Kinkaleri has been based at spazioK, located within the repurposed industrial complex of the Campolmi area in Prato’s historic center. Since 2013, spazioK has served as a Regional Residency Center, fostering diverse artistic practices and dedicated to nurturing the next generation of creators. It is also the home of is it my world? and Body To Be—two curated series through which the company explores and investigates the contemporary performing arts.
