The Kinkaleri group was founded in Florence in 1995 within the framework of the Centro Popolare Autogestito (CPA) Firenze-Sud. Its current members are Massimo Conti, Marco Mazzoni, and Gina Monaco. Kinkaleri define themselves as a dynamic group whose interest lies in creating work using a variety of methods including theater, dance, architecture, and video. Their work is known nationally and internationally and has been presented at important events and institutions such as the Biennale Danza (Venice), the Centre Pompidou (Paris), the Santarcangelo Festival (Santarcangelo di Romagna), the Amperdans Festival (Antwerp), the Luigi Pecci Centre for Contemporary Art (Prato), and the Bologna Modern Art Gallery.

Rather than developing one preferred mode of representation, Kinkaleri has continually expanded, over the years, the possibilities of expressing and presenting concepts and ideas through revolutionary actions, words, and objects—and by raising new questions. Interacting with and relating to with their audience is a fundamental aspect of their performative practice.
