Memic Project esplora temi profondi come l’identità, i traumi e le lotte umane universali, utilizzando umorismo, fantasia, sogni e realtà per trasportare il pubblico in mondi emozionanti e ricchi di significato.
Il suo lavoro ALEX è selezionato per la Vetrina della giovane danza d’autore eXtra 2023.
Oltre alle sue performance, Roberta condivide il suo metodo innovativo attraverso workshop e lezioni in tutta Europa.
