From 11 to 14 November, Prague hosts the first edition of Tempi di Danza, the new festival of the Italian Cultural Institute in Prague dedicated to Italian contemporary dance, produced in collaboration with Orbita|Spellbound.

The programme ranges from stage performances to site-specific projects and performative installations.
Within this programme, on 13 November Spellbound Contemporary Ballet will perform A better place by Mauro Astolfi at the Teatro Ponec, along with the preview of Murmur Solace, the first choreographic work by Giuliana Mele, a longtime Spellbound dancer taking her first steps as a choreographer.
