Spring Rolls – Spring Festival
The experimental dance festival celebrating the awakening of spring in Collegno
About Spring Rolls
A spring festival for the body and senses
Spring Rolls – Spring Festival is the annual event that, in the heart of spring, brings the Lavanderia a Vapore in Collegno, in the Province of Turin, to life. Born from the expertise of COORPI, the Turin-based association dedicated to promoting contemporary dance and screendance for years, the festival celebrates "the subversive awakening of the senses and spring" through a program of ritual actions, performances, and hybrid, participatory artistic experiments.
Where it takes place: the Lavanderia a Vapore
The festival is headquartered at the Lavanderia a Vapore, a historic building of the former Certosa Reale that now serves as one of Piedmont's leading choreographic residency centers. However, Spring Rolls does not stay within four walls: shows and performances are scattered throughout the Lavanderia's spaces, the nearby Parco della Certosa, and the urban and natural landscape of Collegno, creating a journey that invites spectators to move and discover the city from a fresh perspective.
Contemporary dance and international artists
The Spring Rolls program brings Italian and international choreographers and performers to Collegno, with a special focus on contemporary body-based works and languages that blend dance, sound, visual arts, and participatory practices. Alongside evening shows, the festival offers open classes, workshops, and activities designed for families, as well as the work of the Dance Well Dancers, a project that introduces dance to people living with Parkinson's disease.
A connection to World Dance Day
The timing in spring is no coincidence: the festival engages with World Dance Day, promoted by UNESCO, and fits into the rich cultural calendar of the Turin metropolitan area. For the public, it is an opportunity to discover some of the most innovative offerings in the European choreographic scene without leaving Collegno and Piedmont.
Why it is worth attending
- A contemporary dance program featuring national premieres and international artists.
- Shows spread across the Lavanderia a Vapore and the Parco della Certosa.
- Workshops, open classes, and activities for all ages.
- An intimate and experimental atmosphere, far from large commercial circuits.
