Interplay – International Contemporary Dance Festival

Interplay at the Lavanderia a Vapore in Collegno

Interplay is one of the longest-running and most acclaimed contemporary dance festivals in Piedmont. Founded in Turin and directed by Natalia Casorati, it is organized by the Mosaico Danza association and operates as a widespread festival that traverses theatres, multidisciplinary spaces, and outdoor settings across the Turin metropolitan area. Among the event's historic venues is the Lavanderia a Vapore, located at Corso Pastrengo 51 in Collegno, in the heart of the Metropolitan City of Turin, Piedmont: a dance residency centre that hosts some of the most intense evenings of the programme.

An international festival between Turin and the metropolitan area

The 2026 edition, the twenty-sixth, reaffirms Interplay's international vocation: a line-up that weaves together creations by Italian choreographers and European productions from various countries, featuring numerous national premieres and regional debuts. The festival fosters a dialogue between established names and emerging artists, exploring individual identity, social transformation, and the body as a site of contemporary expression.

The Collegno evenings

At the Lavanderia a Vapore, days dedicated to dance become true collective experiences, often accompanied by social gatherings before the performances. Over the years, the Collegno stage has welcomed prominent choreographers from the Italian and European scenes, with works ranging from duets to choral rituals, and from site-specific performances to movement research.
