ITALY
That’s all: it can be a conclusion, a farewell, or the beginning of a new chapter about to start. In a wunderkammer full of gestures and dances, we find wonder and irony, body and voice, sounds and characters that appear only to dissolve. Here, a series of events present themselves and fade away, making room for one another. Inside an imaginary ring, a match unfolds against the invisible. Physicality, changes in state and colour, different challengers vying for a place, trigger a game of flashes and invitations, opening to transformation and unpredictability.
