Ob/scene Festival 2026 Opening Michele Rizzo, Coalescing Towards (World premiere) An open-floor performance with no seating. The audience stands and moves freely through the space while twelve Seoul-based dancers move among them. For years, Italian choreographer and visual artist Michele Rizzo has explored ecstatic dance: the collective movement of club and rave culture. In Coalescing Towards, simple gestures repeat and circulate between the dancers until they gather into a single pulse, blurring the line between watching and being together. The choreographic structure stays fixed, but each city's dancers and musicians embody it anew. The Seoul version is created with twelve Korean dancers and a new score performed live by electronic musician Guinneissik. Michele Rizzo is a Milan-based choreographer and visual artist. His work has been presented at MoMA PS1, HKW, Stedelijk Museum and Art Basel, and he has collaborated with Marni, Off-White and Moschino. He teaches at SNDO Amsterdam and HEAD Geneva.
