During Salone del Mobile 2016 Marni will be transforming its space at Viale Umbria 42 into a ballroom, named Marni Ballhaus.
After Looking For Marni, the total theatre event that showcased its eyewear line, Marni is exploring a different area of performing arts and is using dance to create a link between the new design collection and the traditions of Colombia, the country that inspired it.

An invite to discover Cumbia, an ancient Colombian dance for couples that arose from a blend of diverse rhythms and cultures.
Marni has put its own individual slant on it, customising the traditional full circular skirts worn by Cumbia dancers and the knotted scarves the men wear around their neck.

Marni Ballhaus is open to the whole city and, as always, the involvement of the public will be a fundamental part of the experience created by Marni.
From Thursday April 14th till Saturday April 16th visitors can watch performances by professional dance teachers and also play an active part in demonstrations to learn the Cumbia moves and dress in traditional costumes.
