Simone Lorenzo Benini is a dancer/choreographer currently based in Vienna. He finished his studies in dance at SEAD in Salzburg. In his own choreographic oeuvre, Simone Lorenzo Benini explores movement and expression of the body that evokes ecstasy, vulnerability, despair, the libido, fantasies, emotions and desires. He uses dance as a tool to explore and interpret the kaleidoscopic, conflicting essence of the subconscious and to thereby bring to the surface the multitude of alter egos buried therein. As a performer, he regularly collaborates with Finnish choreographer Elina Pirinen. He is currently supported by Italian network Anticorpi XL and is also an associated artist with AiEP in Milan. His collaboration with Miriam Budzáková started in 2022.
