PINK CARPET
Where do reality and imagination meet? PINK CARPET is an immersive journey through the boundaries of reality and imagination, inspired by choreographer Nunzio Impellizzeri’s experience with his mother’s Alzheimer’s disease. A symbolic pink carpet traces the fine line between the tangible and the unreal, serving as both an emblem of hope and a bridge between worlds. The performance celebrates the unpredictability and depth of existence, poetically exploring the boundary between the real and the imaginary.

Artistic direction, concept, and choreography: Nunzio Impellizzeri
Dance: Maren K. Sauer
A production of the Nunzio Impellizzeri Dance Company in co-production with Kulturhaus Helferei Zurich and Kulturhaus Villa Sträuli Winterthur
