Parini Secondo

Parini Secondo was born in 2017 from an idea by Sissj Bassani (Cesena,1997) and Martina Piazzi (Bologna, 1997) and involves dancers Camilla Neri and Francesca Pizzagalli. Questioning the relationship between art and originality, the group works on choreography to sublimate pop trends by being inspired by online material. They collaborate with musician, producer and teacher Alberto Ricca/Bienoise, emphasizing the importance of the relationship between music, rhythm and dance.
