Matteo Sacco is an award winning choreographer and performance artist from Milan. 
His years of international experience as performer and his mixed background in theatre, contemporary dance, site specific performance, music, fashion and visual arts, costitute his identity as a multidisciplinary artist where different styles and interests meet.
His work relays on the communicative power of movement as a tool to poetically explain aspects of life and of the human condition in relationship with the contemporary world.
His themes come always from within, through an emotion-focused observation of reality, and try to bring light to universal thoughts and human experiences.
His interest for non-conventional performance and dance spaces has, over the years, pushed him to regard his choreographic works as installation art pieces used to breakdown the boundaries between audience and performance.Matteo Sacco trained at Jaques Lecoq’s school in London, LISPA, Trinity Laban Conservatoire of Music and Dance and Iwanson International School of Contemporary Dance in Munich, Matteo is an embodied dance and physical theatre artist whose choreography is a deep enquiry into the human condition. As a dancer he has worked with: Ersan Montag; Maciej Kunminski, in the Oper Ballet of the Bavarian Staatoper; Zfin Malta under the direction of Mavin Khoo; Ivan Perez and Jose Agudo.
