Collettivo EFFE wins the NON ADDOMESTICABILI 2025 grant with the project “I’ve Loss of Attention”. A residency journey now begins, culminating in its debut at the Pergine Festival 2025.

“I’ve Loss of Attention” (working title) by Collettivo EFFE is the winning project of NON ADDOMESTICABILI 2025, a grant supporting the production of new dance creations. The project connects the Centro Servizi Santa Chiara in Trento, Ariateatro ETS and Pergine Festival. For Collettivo EFFE, a residency journey begins between Trento and Pergine. The first encounter with the public will take place in April 2025, with the presentation of an initial study during the upcoming Bellandi Festival. The project will officially premiere at Pergine Festival 2025 with the completed work.

Founded in 2018, Collettivo EFFE explores the use of technologies in the performing arts, both inside and outside traditional theatrical spaces. Composed of Giulia Odetto (director/author), Antonio Careddu (dramaturg/author) and Camilla Soave (dancer/video artist), the collective stands out for its multidisciplinary approach, where the body, new media, and theatrical experimentation intertwine in a continuous dialogue. Their work investigates perception and seeks new forms of interaction between performative languages and technologies, emphasizing the idea that technology should serve as a natural extension of the human body.

The relationship with Trentino began in 2021 during Powered by REF, part of Anni Luce by Romaeuropa, where Collettivo EFFE was mentored by Filippo Andreatta, director and curator from Rovereto and the founder of OHT / Office for a Human Theatre. The collaboration continued beyond the debut, with OHT now supporting the collective by overseeing the production and distribution of its projects.

“I’ve Loss of Attention” (working title) project delves into the theme of losing attention.

The project investigates how attention shifts, gets lost, and is created, both within the performer’s body on stage and in the audience. It draws on sensory practices that primarily engage sight and hearing.

The project will unfold as a game of attention: the transition between different practices will highlight how the body loses focus, gradually tinted in shades of blue. Attention, dynamic and ever-moving, is represented as a container that fills and empties, sometimes caught in an endless zapping.
