"Her artistic journey has been distinguished since the beginning by the ability to stage performances balanced between mathematics and poetry of the gesture, where dance and theatre digress in moments of reconsideration of the live show - for both the artist and the audience. Open to contamination with other performative forms, from contests and parades to languages and video game manipulations, the company, directed by Francesca Pennini and Angelo Pedroni, has also been able to enhance the fertile rift/fracture of adolescence, by building a kind of enthralling “school” that enabled them to work constructively and in depth with the teenagers they met through the project."

"Directing CollettivO CineticO together with Angelo Pedroni - a reality suspended between the performative action and the real show, open to a dialogue with the community and the problems of living today’s life with a predilection for the younger generations - Francesca Pennini is proving more and more to be adding poetry to her research. Whether it's “10 miniballetti” – a solo work emerging from her childhood memories and from the ironic transposition of her passion for dance – or whether she takes care, as a 'director', of leading the game of ‘Hamlet’ – a collective performance, a sort of playful talent show about the icon of Shakespearean drama - or again whether she stimulates reactions in the group of dancers chosen for “Le variazioni posturali degli abitanti” // which translates: “The posture variations of the inhabitants” ... seen at the last Biennale Danza in Venice ... Pennini wins with originality and conviction of purpose, compositional coherence and interpretive skills. "

"Strict and insubordinate, precise and unpredictable, quirky and unscrupulous. These are CollettivO CineticO’s artists, one of the most surprising teams on the new Italian scene, established in 2007 at the meeting point of dance, theatre and visual arts. In less than ten years the group, led by Francesca Pennini and Angelo Pedroni, showed that the paths of experimentation are truly endless. Choreography, performance, props out of format, abnormal devices used for unexpected interactions with audiences: [...] the work of CollettivO CineticO is a dynamic prism where movement and spatial investigations, new technologies, contemporary art, maths, physics, philosophy, manga, cartoon, social networks and anthropology of the new millennium, all converge together. Complex systems, Renaissance-like for the vast number of skills and responsibilities, very contemporary for the speed with which they intercept the critical points and paradoxes of our age. The spirit is playful, the point of view is sharp, the intelligence is misaligned. A very well deserved Hystrio-Iceberg award to these gentle and relentless fighters, full of grace and irony."

"[...] The company has established itself on the national scene with originality and creativity, reformulating and renewing the language of the dance theatre [...]. Creations by CollettivO CineticO [...] are able to unsettle audiences, singling them out with bold and exhilarating poetry - natural body gestures as well as the established grammar of ‘tersicorea’ art. In the company’s poetry, the word ‘cinetico’ // kinetic // declares a relationship with movement, not only referring to dance but to any other gestural form. This dynamism is shared with the spectator, whose gaze is an integral part and topic of dialogue in Pennini’s work, balanced between body and space, and not necessarily of the stage. CollettivO CineticO’s poetic actions perfectly express the fluidity of the performative language and its permeability; they are symbolic of visions that are possible and can be shared in the present moment, visions entrusted to the bodies of dancers / actors / performers who exist also thanks to the gaze of us viewers "
