Antonio Tagliarini is performer, author and director. His first love, and consequently his training, are contemporary dance and performing art, which deeply mark his relationship with the stage. More recently, he began to study and delve into theater. He is author and performer of several shows and performances presented in Italian and international festivals (first prize for best performance at the BE Festival in Birmingham in 2014). Co-author of performance projects (with Miguel Pereira, Idoia Zabaleta, Ambra Senatore, Rimini Protokol), Antonio Tagliarini has been performer for Raffaella Giordano, Giorgio Rossi, Massimiliano Civica, Fabrizio Arcuri, Lotte Van den Berg, among others. In 2007 he met Daria Deflorian, an important, dazzling encounter. An intense artistic collaboration was born, leading to the creation of many award-winning theater projects both in Italy and abroad (2014 Ubu Award for best new play, 2015 Critics' Award for best foreign play in Québec/Canada, 2019 Riccione Award for dramaturgy, 2021 Hystrio Award for dramaturgy).
