Emanuele Travaini

Emanuele Travaini

Performer, choreographer and researcher based in Milan. His research moves at the intersection of somatic movement, scenic composition and performance technology.

He designs reactive scenic environments in which the body, tracked in real time through sensors and generative AI, becomes an interface between the physical and the digital. Primary tool: TouchDesigner.

His work investigates relational vulnerability, moral constructs and power dynamics, integrating psychological archetypes to deconstruct human identity.
