Alessia Luongo (1992) is an artist working across sound, performance and visual practices. Sound is central to her artistic research.

 

A performer and sound artist, she conceives, composes and produces original works that explore the relationships between sound, theatrical action, objects and visual expression.

​

Her original projects include DYNO ON THE MOON, a sound object theatre performance that brings together object animation, sound art and improvisation, and PUGNI DI PEZZA, a non-verbal sound puppetry performance in which music and electronic sounds shape a surreal world of characters and imaginary creatures.

​

Her independent musical production also encompasses experimental music created through electronic and acoustic means. Her musical releases include LA BLATTA, DYNO ON THE MOON, LITURGIA PROCESSATA, KARNIVAL and MEDULLA, reflecting her ongoing exploration of sound, composition and sonic experimentation.

​

DYNO ON THE MOON has been selected for international festivals, exhibitions and artistic programmes, including NOIS//E 2026 – Festival and Symposium (Milan, Italy); the 1st GUYU ACTION International Film Festival (第一届“谷雨行动”国际影像节), in collaboration with Xiang Xishi Center for Contemporary Art and Xi'an Biennale (2026, Xi'an / 西安, China); the 12th Arte Aparte Art and Action Fair at Espacio Belleartes (Cáceres, Spain); Open Art Festival at Medina Art Gallery (Rome, Italy), curated by Constantine Anjulatos; Roma Future Week 2026; and BABELE 2026 – Fourth Edition at Spazio MUSA (Turin, Italy), curated by Lucrezia Nardi.

​

The project has also been selected for CICA Experimental Film and Video 2027 at CICA Museum (Gimpo, South Korea), scheduled for April 2027.

 

In 2026, her audiovisual works were also selected for Con/Temporary Spaces (Turin), Turin Underground and EpiphyllumPrize (Isola del Liri, Italy).

​

Her artistic training encompasses sound research, music, theatre and physical practice. She studied aesthetics and sound research with Simone Pappalardo, complementary musical disciplines with Francesco Leineri, and anthropological theatre with director Vania Castelfranchi. Her artistic research is also informed by kickboxing, which she practises with striking coach Alessio Smeriglio at Pro Fighting Roma. Beyond sport, she considers combat an expression of her poetic body, exploring the relationships between rhythm, tension, gesture and transformation in music and theatre.

​

In 2026, she collaborated with Simone Pappalardo on several projects, including Tibia, presented at FOROF in Rome, contributing to the performance and the creation of sound objects and site-specific instruments; and Metamorfosi, presented at Teatro dell'Arca in Genoa, contributing to experimental instrument-making, electronics and technologically augmented sound objects, within a practice involving conduction techniques and the Paganini Orchestra. She also contributed to the construction of electroacoustic flutes for the musical group MasMas.

​

Since 2019, she has collaborated with Manuel Pernazza, performing in various artistic contexts in Italy and abroad, including the 2019 Carnival of Matera during Matera's year as European Capital of Culture; Museo della Civiltà in Rome (2020–2022); the National Archaeological Museum of Naples (2023); Interpenetration in Graz, Austria (2022); Festival de Música in Mahón, Menorca, Spain (2021); the International Festival of Commedia dell'Arte in Nice, France (2023); and a music festival organised by the Baroque Orchestra of Syracuse, Sicily (2024).

​

She collaborated with Maestro Roberto De Simone on the recording project Largo di Castello, which was featured in a report by Rai Internazionale in 2023.

​

In 2025, she participated in the exhibition Collage romani per Aldo Clementi, curated by Daniela Tortora for the 62nd Nuova Consonanza Festival at Mattatoio–La Pelanda in Rome.

​

In 2020, she received the Best Actress Award at the second edition of the Teatramm’ Festival at Teatro Marconi in Rome, with a jury chaired by Felice Della Corte.
