Dibiesse celebrated fifty years in business with an event dedicated to the people who have shared and contributed to its history.<\/p>\n
To tell this story, we chose not to start with our kitchens, but with the company itself: its origins, its work, its people and the relationships that have accompanied its evolution.<\/p>\n
The result was an original performance created specifically for Dibiesse, combining theatre, dance, music and circus arts to transform key moments and themes from the company\u2019s history into a series of scenes.<\/p>\n
Actor Davide Dolores guided guests through the evening as a storyteller, retracing fifty years of Dibiesse through words, music and interaction with the audience.<\/p>\n
Around him, performances by Pensando Danza Ballet Studio and artists from Circo Patuf and Acqualta Teatro brought the different parts of the story to life.<\/p>\n
The performance was structured around four acts: Origins, Distinctive Features, People, and Reflections.<\/strong><\/p>\n The first act began with a simple gesture: at the end of the choreography, a dancer let herself fall into the actor\u2019s arms.<\/p>\n That gesture introduced the first theme of the story: trust<\/strong>.<\/p>\n The trust required to start a business, but also the trust built over time with the local community, employees, suppliers and the company\u2019s first customers.<\/p>\n It was a way of returning to the origins of Dibiesse without simply presenting a sequence of dates, focusing instead on one of the elements that has accompanied the company throughout its growth.<\/p>\n In the second act, the scene changed.<\/p>\n The dancers set a table for three and the storyteller, wearing the mask of Arlecchino, transformed everyday objects and gestures into elements of the narrative.<\/p>\n The sound of a piece of cutlery against a glass became the starting point for talking about design, materials, conviviality and the way a kitchen is experienced.<\/p>\n Because designing a kitchen means creating a functional space, but also considering what will happen within it: cooking, meeting, talking and spending time together.<\/p>\n The third act was dedicated to the people who work at Dibiesse.<\/p>\n It began with an apparently simple statement: \u201cA company is not made of walls alone, but of people.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n The story explored the relationship between the company and its employees through the words of Luigi De Biasi, before turning to one of the elements represented in the Dibiesse logo: three stylised figures moving in the same direction.<\/p>\n The logo has evolved graphically over the company\u2019s fifty-year history, but its meaning has remained the same: people working together towards a shared goal.<\/p>\n Dance translated this idea into movement, bringing the theme of collaboration onto the stage.<\/p>\n The final act unfolded during dinner and brought the story back to Dibiesse\u2019s everyday work.<\/p>\n A project begins with an idea. It is developed and assessed, passes through different people, tools and areas of expertise, and finally enters production.<\/p>\n Moving among the tables and interacting directly with the guests, the storyteller retraced this process: from the initial idea to its realisation inside the Dibiesse factory.<\/p>\n The story of fifty years therefore ended in the present, returning to the place where projects take shape every day.<\/p>\n Rather than presenting the history of Dibiesse as a chronology, the performance explored the people, production, design, relationships and kitchens that have shaped the company.<\/p>\n Each became part of a narrative interpreted through different artistic languages.<\/p>\n A way of celebrating fifty years in business by looking at the history of Dibiesse through the elements that have shaped it and continue to define it today.<\/p>\nThe origins: a story that begins with trust<\/h2>\n
