The theme — “SOUND, SPACE or TIME in White and Black” — explores contrast as a form of expression: opposition and harmony, absence and presence, silence and movement. The scenographic installation emerged from this very tension. Ninety-eight suspended luminous spheres formed fluid geometries that descended from the ceiling, interacting with the naked bodies of three dancers in a choreography of light, motion, and meaning.

The project was developed using our Dynamic brand methodology: an identity conceived not as a fixed sign, but as a living relationship between disciplines, contexts, and audiences. The visual system adapts across platforms — stage, video, digital space, and shared experience — creating connections that evolve over time. The Contest becomes a space of cultural exchange and visionary energy.

Conceived by Emanuele Cappelli and promoted by RUFA – Rome University of Fine Arts, the RUFA Contest is a cultural format that each year engages 25 selected students invited to interpret a theme through art, design, cinema, dance, and music. The Guest of Honour leads a masterclass and personally awards the winner during the public ceremony — turning the stage into a moment of intergenerational, international, and interdisciplinary dialogue.
