Dancing Histor(y)ies – binding Communities and Heritage through dance is a European project aimed at linking communities and cultural heritage through dance.

ilDance artists perform “Under the Gemlike Eye of Venus”, on August 8, at 21:30 at Nora Archaeological Park in Sardinia, Italy.

The performance reflects on how stories and histories, both distant and near, gain or lose meaning, depending on the contexts in which they are reiterated. Incorporating poems by Grazia Deledda and Giangavino VascoIn, “Under The Gemlike Eye of Venus” explores senses and sensations of time and how it can be pulled, morphed and transformed through relations and relationships.  

The performance is created by ilDance Artistic Director Israel Aloni and features artists Elias Khanamidi, Jennifer Wallen, Victor Persson and Tomer Giat. 

Dancing Histor(y)ies Festivals is held throughout the summer of 2025 in Rome (Italy), Nora (Sardinia), Viminacium (Serbia), Merida (Spain), and Gothenburg (Sweden). 

Dancing Histor(y)ies is co-funded by the Creative Europe programme of the European Union. ilDance’s participation and activities in the project are made possible with the support of the Swedish Arts Council and Kulturförvaltningen Västra Götalandsregionen.
