E.I.O is practical.
E.I.O gives you purpose.
E.I.O helps you to experience.
E.I.O provides condition.
E.I.O makes you active.
E.I.O has no judgment.
E.I.O projects no value.


It is an utopian fiction of practical solutions.
It mixes work and leisure to reach a futuristic adventure.
It is the investigation of practicability in a performative frame.
It is a co-created experience where the ultimate aim is to be practical.
E.I.O is one hour society.

E.I.O investigates the creation of value and its distribution in the arts in the performance that is co-created each time by its potential audience. In the other words, “it is a utopian fiction of practical solutions.”

E.I.O received The Prix Jardin d’Europe 2010, European dance prize for young choreographers.The E.I.O. team receives the award “for the way in which, through this performance, with minimal resources and much imagination, they deeply redefine the concept of work, questioning the means of production both in art and real life, the creation, distribution and value of art”.
