Tired Eyes Company
TIRED EYED COMPANY is a collective co-founded by Selene Martello and Dario Wilmington.
Since 2021/2022, they have been developing choreographic works at the intersection of dance, performance, and sound.
Their practice focuses on the exploration of physical and mental states, atmospheric spaces, and the translation of inner tensions into a distilled, often restrained movement language.
Their first collaborative work, "We Shall Meet in the Place Where There Is No Darkness", was presented internationally at:
Rotterdam International Duet Choreographic Competition 2022

The artistic language of Tired Eyes Collective is characterized by an experimental choreographic approach that engages with themes such as exhaustion, perception, emotional ambivalence, and inner apathy. Alongside stage works, the collective creates interdisciplinary formats in which movement, voice, and sound merge into cohesive performative experiences. Dario Wilmington contributes his work as a composer and sound designer to the projects, while Selene Martello plays a central role in conceptual and dramaturgical development.
