Martina Rota performing "With All My Strength"

"With All My Strength" is a performance by dancer and choreographer Martina Rota that involves three professional bodybuilders – Massimo Palmieri, Massimiliano Palmese and Arold Triberti – whose bodies engage in a series of actions that question the concept of image and its meanings, through the practice of posing.

"With All My Strength" returns in a site-specific format as part of "Performing Architecture", a festival of architecture and performing arts created by BASE and DOPO?. The performance enters into dialogue with the installation by Matilde Cassani Studio, which will occupy the Ground Hall at BASE from April 5th to September 2025. The installation, "Another Week", contrasts the hustle of Milan's weekly rhythm, creating a space for suspension, reflection and well-being.
