Columba domestica

MARGHERITA CELESTINO

My dance is born from what I forget and, for this reason, generates memory.
What is a map? Can there be a cartography that is not instrumental but emotional?

Guided symbolically by a pigeon—an animal often marginalized but a master of connection and orientation—audience and performers move from a place of the past, intimate and full of memory, to an unknown and collective present, waiting to be discovered.
