C2CMLN SHARED BY GUCCI
MILANO, EUROPA


A hymn to alien beauty, futuristic psychedelia, collective avant-garde and the freedom of the body.
2022 marked the fifth anniversary of the creative collaboration between Gucci and C2C Festival. On March 31st and April 1st, Milan hosted C2CMLN shared by Gucci: two days of music, conversations and performances, in partnership with Miart and Disco Diva.
On March 31st, C2CMLN shared by Gucci presented a public conversation with Giovanna Silva e Michele Rizzo at Triennale Milano. Later that night, at District 272, live performances of four different faces of the international avant-pop took the stage of the infamous former striptease club: the disturbing and fascinating sound universe of aya, Lyra Pramuk’s futuristic folk, DJ Python’s psychedelic reggaeton and yeule’s alien pop.

Daniele Baldelli
A founding father of the Cosmic Disco sound, Italian DJ Daniele Baldelli rose to prominence with his mixture of European electronica, synth pop (often played at slower speeds), equalizer effects, and ethnic folk music. Baldelli’s use of African and Brazilian material helped distinguish his style from Italo disco, which permeated the clubs of Northern Italy during the 1970s. Taking up residence at the Cosmic, a venue by Lake Garda, he introduced club goers to a worldly, hypnotic sound during the late ’70s and early ’80s. Although the Cosmic Disco movement slowed down as the ’80s progressed, Baldelli’s reputation allowed him to extend his career into the following decades.

Lyra Pramuk

Lyra Pramuk
Lyra Pramuk fuses classical vocalism, pop sensibilities, performance practices and contemporary club culture in what can best be described as futurist folk music.
Devotional music, at its core, embodies the deep-seated human urge to express our innermost, primal emotions. For Lyra Pramuk, devotion is ingrained in her futurist folk music that harnesses the power and giddiness of technology to present the human voice as an object of limitless possibility. Growing up singing in choirs, Lyra struggled to conform to the images and expectations of her small Pennsylvania town, creating a deep and complex internet-fueled interior world in response presaging her view of digital worlds as extensions of our embodied consciousness, liberated from real-world notions of presentation and acceptable knowledge.
Lyra is based in Berlin, Germany.

Michele Rizzo
Michele Rizzo, Italian choreographer based in Amsterdam, graduated in 2011 at the School for New Dance Development in Amsterdam (SNDO), where he is now a guest teacher in choreography and movement research, and in 2015 at the Sandberg Instituut Amsterdam in the Dirty Art Department Master program for visual arts. His research operates at the crossover between performance and visual art, and produces performances with high visual impact, that merge sculpture, dance and theatre elements. Although all his works are united by a distinctive interest into the poetics of transformation, becoming and transcending, the outcomes of such multidisciplinary approach often crystallize in very different performances.

Yeule
Nat Ćmiel, was born December 16, 1997 in Singapore, Singapore. They are a non-binary, painter, musician, performance artist, and cyborg entity. During adolescence they found solace and comfort in an internet of niche online communities, MMORPG gaming, and tumblr. The yeule project was fabricated by Ćmiel to act as a portal to communicate their art to the outside world while still being protected within their inner shell. yeule has always had access to multiple avatars and the freedom to change or contort at will– a mutable, chameleon-like multiplicity. The music becomes a way to store fragments of their reality, dreams, and inner states–an external memory device, a brain or emotional center that exists independently of its creator.
