About Me

***i have been off the site for a while, now back on the lovely CS horse***
I reply even if I have 0% rate, I promise :)))

My name is Matteo. Italian at heart, European mindset, artist, queer, gay, vegan, vegetarian, body-positive, spiritual, Cancerian rising Libra.

I am an Italian director and choreographer, based in Berlin (Germany). I work between contemporary performance, experimental music theatre and experimental video art. I am also into fashion, visual arts, opera, and traditional music and dances.

Overall, a nomadic soul with a call for art, and a passion for energy work. Dedicated, subtle, independent, warrior, thoughtful, restless, assertive, smiling, concrete, sincere, able of and not able of.

I multitask between stage direction, stage choreography and filmmaking. I believe in dedication as freedom. I set up an interdisciplinary production house www.casamarziano.com and love to meet proactive artists around the world, cultural workers, producers, people in the entertainment industry.

I have started an interest in fashion design, textiles and tailoring. I have plenty to learn there, and would love to!

I am very much fascinated by passionate people with aims and goals who hope and dream, and GO FOR IT. I am a movie-goer and I enjoy quality theatre and dance performances, so let's enjoy together if we feel like.

I don't eat meat, but I will not be bothered if you devour a beef ribcage in front of my eyes.

I am a queer traveler and I do not tolerate homophobia, transphobia, machoism and racism of any kind. Respect, love, embrace. Overall, I consider myself flexible and accommodating.

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have started loooong time ago, while living in Amsterdam. I even got a pioneer badge ;)
I've been off the site for a while. Now I am on the road again, and I'm happy to be hosted!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Enough to know how to be a pleasant CS guest. I am the kind of guest your mother would let into her home. ;-)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Together with 10 buddies, I organized a FlashMob of 500 people. I saw a 80 yo woman with bright red lipstick. I went for some and I have got even more. I loved without concern. I have chosen to let go.
