Italian theater directors Daniela Nicolò and Enrico Casagrande discuss the history of Motus, their collaboration with La MaMa’s Great Jones Repertory Company, and their immutable exploration of the unknown.

Motus is an Italian theater company founded by Enrico Casagrande and Daniela Nicolò. Motus sculpts its projects through action and reaction to everyday facts, both large and small. Like litmus paper, Motus feeds on contradictions of the contemporary, translating them into active material for reflection and provocation. Motus was in residence with CultureHub and La MaMa in 2017 developing Panorama. Motus created a performance art piece with the Great Jones Repertory Company interweaving their personal histories of identity, departure, and remembrance to create new existential panoramas in which migration is actually an intrinsic existential condition.
