Elena Francalanci – TANZTAGE BERLIN 2026

Elena Francalanci is an Italian artist and choreographer based in Berlin. She studied classical ballet and modern dance in Balletto di Toscana in Florence and started her professional career in dance companies and theatre productions such as Balletto Teatro di Torino and others. Francalanci’s work is rooted in her background in classical ballet and postmodern dance, which she intertwines with the visual arts. She is interested in the emotional state of the body and in gestures tied to specific spaces and memories. Her approach starts from personal stories, which mirrors her performances combining classical and theatrical elements with present-day references, including nods to pop culture. Her work was shown in CRIPTA 747 (2025), Berlin Art Week (2025), Silent Green (2025), ACUD Galerie (2025), CTM-Vorspiel (2024), Atelier Gardens (2024), Art Biesenthal/Wehrmuehle (2024), Traklhaus Salzburg (2024), Schaubühne Leipzig (2023), Kleinehumboldtgalerie (2023), Garage Gallery Prague (2023) and other venues. From 2023 Elena is the co-founder and curator of the curatorial project MOLT, Berlin.
