MuMo

MuMo is the fusion of music and movement developed by two accomplished, approachable and fun artists, Francesco Senese (violin) and Tony Lopresti (mime).

The foundation for their collaboration began in 2009 during the workshops of the Festival Musica sull’Acqua on the shores of Lake Como in Italy where they developed together numerous performances in which music and movement merge together into a single artistic language.

Francesco’s and Tony’s intuition that physical movement and gesture live inherently in a music score, and in the sounds produced from it, compelled them to probe more deeply into uncharted musical territory using mime, the language of silence.

Silence is fundamental to music. From silence sound is born, which expands to fill space like the actions and gestures of the human body.  

Francesco and Tony also share a deep spiritual connection that animates their lives and work. The art forms of violin and mime are an expression of their essences and their connection gave rise to MuMo. 

Tony and Francesco understand each other not because Tony understands music, or Francesco understands mime, but because they understand each other’s foundations.

That brings to life all they do, and all you'll see and feel!
