Francesco Marilungo was born in Ancona in 1982. After graduating in thermomechanical engineering and a period of research in aerospace aerodynamics, he turned his interest to the performing arts, attending the theatre-dance atelier of the Paolo Grassi Academy in Milan. While working as a performer for several Italian companies, he began a personal choreographic career in search of a code that relates performance art and contemporary dance. Driven by the precision of RTC (Real Time Composition), Francesco Marilungo concentrates his research on the creation of atmospheres resulting from the juxtaposition of images structured on several levels of representation. In his works he uses the body to investigate the archetypes of our culture with particular attention to the perturbing, to all that is connected to forbidden desire. The work reaches an original development in the rehearsal room only after a careful research that crosses and combines several fields: after investigating a topic through writing, reading, discussion and audiovisual research, he translates the matured imaginary through the body. In the studio he subjects himself and the artists working with him to sound, silence and dissonance, sometimes even overloading the mind and body with stimuli, to see how they react and thus to obtain a kinetic vision of the subject. As a direct consequence of his scientific training, his works have a Cartesian mathematical structure. Each element of the stage is considered as a complex entity consisting of a myriad of equations that make up the entire performance system.
