HIT OUT is the agile and compact version of HIT, a choreographic and musical project in which rope skipping is used as a percussive element to manifest embodied rhythms.

After one year of athletic training supported by the Italian jumpers’ community and sponsored by MarcRope (Milan), Parini Secondo and Bienoise focus on the sound produced by rope skipping, dissecting its timbral possibilities. The jumpers on stage perform a rhythmic and at the same time choreographic score in which single-unders, side-swings and double-unders are both athletic and musical elements: combined with voice and synthetic sounds, they harmonize into a true HIT

HIT elevates the intimate practice of training into a performative action: the hammering succession of rope strokes is an echo of rebellion against those forces that would have us lying motionless on the ground with our eyes closed.

There’s a reason why you came here
Every second getting far and far
Failure brings a new perspective
To renew the meaning of your past
High hopes and higher mind
To read a world that’s blind
There’s no reason baby I won’t lie
There’s no reason to give up the fight 

Parini Secondo was born in 2017 from Sissj Bassani and Martina Piazzi with Camilla Neri and Francesca Pizzagalli. Questioning the relationship between art and originality, the group works on choreography to sublimate pop trends by being inspired by online material. They collaborate with musician, producer and teacher Alberto Ricca/bienoise, emphasizing the importance of the relationship between music, rhythm and dance. 

After the iconic SPEEED (2020) and the international production be me (2021), Parini participates in NID Platform 2023 with do-around-the-world. In 2024 they released the new production HIT and HIT OUT, developed in between Italy, France, Norway and Taiwan and premiered in Bolzano Danza and Santarcangelo Festival.  In 2025 comes INCANTO (working title), a new production for theatre venues, scheduled to debut in 2026

In 2024 Parini creates and curates the festival Tra questa gente esiste un sentimento (en: Among this people there is a feeling) within the program of Teatro Petrella (Longiano, IT), in collaboration with Cronopios and ATER Fondazione.
