Marco D’Agostin is a choreographer, performer, and author, widely recognized on the contemporary Italian scene. He is the recipient of two UBU Awards (Best Performer Under 35 in 2018 and Best Dance Performance in 2023 for Gli anni), as well as the Special Riccione Prize for Dramaturgical Innovation (2023) and the Hystrio Corpo a Corpo Award (2024). He is an associate artist at the Piccolo Teatro di Milano.

His choreographic work explores the theme of memory, creating performance devices that invite audiences into practices of empathy and identification. D’Agostin examines entertainment as a space for emotional revelations, embracing its failures and tensions as fertile ground, where sound, language, and movement constantly collide.

He trained with renowned international artists (Yasmeen Godder, Emio Greco, Nigel Charnock), and performed for Claudia Castellucci/Socìetas, Alessandro Sciarroni, Liz Santoro, and Tabea Martin. Twice selected as a Priority Company by the Aerowaves network, he has participated in numerous international research projects.

His works have been presented at leading festivals and venues, including the Festival d’Avignon, Théâtre de la Ville (Paris), Kampnagel (Hamburg), Julidans (Amsterdam), Romaeuropa, Torinodanza, and Santarcangelo, as well as overseas in Buenos Aires, Santiago de Chile, and São Paulo. Since 2019, he has performed Folk-s by Alessandro Sciarroni within Boris Charmatz’s XX Dancers for the 20th Century project. In 2020, he created a new piece for Biennale College Danza, and in 2023, he choreographed OKOKOK for Malta’s national dance company, ZfinMalta.

He is a founding member of VAN, a dance production company supported by the Italian Ministry of Culture, and co-author (with Alessandro Iachino) of Anni, lettere e valanghe, published by Il Saggiatore in 2024. He also co-curated the program Thank you for coming (Centrale Fies) and the 2021 summer season of the Piccolo Teatro Ogni volta unica la fine del mondo. As an actor, he starred in Marco Righi’s award-winning film I giorni della vendemmia (2011).
