“From science lab to magic lab”
“”OKUS” sounds like a magic formula…”
The etymology of the word “OKUS” is the contraction of OKUlar Synergy.
A choreographic, visual and interdisciplinary research and creation laboratory. Founded by Manu Di Martino, former molecular biology researcher and choreographer. OKUS lab, an intuitive and organic vision of creativity that addresses the links between art, science and modified states of consciousness. At the crossroads of several paths and is defined as a hybrid inspired by urban art, meditation and scientific research.
Okus lab, is a creative concept based on the principle of synergy.
This is the essence of the OKUS genome: implode to free yourself and discover, discover yourself.
Okus lab remains an experience that is not told, but lived.
The OKUS concept can be defined in three ways:

OKUS LAB aims to produce visual, choreographic and hypnotic experiences that magically formulate the link between movement and light.
In the form of works, experiments and artistic devices (choreographic pieces, photographs, video and paper installations, museum experiments, video-dance performance, …).
OKUS LAB’s preliminary research has resulted in a creative and body development methodology.
This method consists of a series of interrelated, interweaving transformation formulas.
OKUS is also perceived by its founder as a biologic-onic organism, genetically modified and growing. An evolving and expandable phenomenon that the author nurtures from project to project.
