Trust

4 October 2026

Running time: 10 minutes

Trust is a short story about two women who truly don't know how to behave toward each other. A momentary attempt at understanding, based on the idea of mutual trust as a tool for getting to know each other more quickly. A game interwoven with different personalities, but with a subtle need to understand what the other thinks, how they might be close to you, how you might live close to them.

Trust is a childish, mature, adolescent, yet conscious duet, a (short) story, a suggestion about certain decisions that sometimes need to be made quickly and that can change the course of life. You vibrate together, in unison you hide in the other, you protect each other... as you move forward, you become friends, and in the end, you discover that you can trust.

Spellbound

The Spellbound Association, founded in 1994, was established as a structure capable of hosting live performance organization and production projects, specializing in dance on an international scale.

The heart of its production activities is the Spellbound Contemporary Ballet company, under the artistic direction of Mauro Astolfi and general direction of Valentina Marini. It has been supported by the MIC since 2000 and is a leading Italian company internationally.

The Association has also managed production projects, participating in major television productions directed by Vittoria Cappelli and Vittoria Ottolenghi, as well as the 200.com opera Carmina Burana, a project for the city, which won the Opera Award in 2013 and was produced for the 200th anniversary of the Teatro Sociale di Como in collaboration with the Giuseppe Verdi Conservatory of Como, the City of Como Choir, the Children's Choir of the Teatro Sociale di Como, the 1813 Orchestra, and the A. Vivaldi Orchestra.

Since 2022, Spellbound has been recognized by the Ministry of Culture as a Dance Production Center under the name Orbita | Spellbound, and has also been supported by the Lazio Region since 2023, which has also recognized the Center as part of the Artist Residencies in the Territories program since 2025.
