A new dance performance created and interpreted by Virgilio Sieni on music by S. Sciarrino, J.S. Bach, K. Saariaho and G. Kancheli, performed live by flutist G. Pretto and cellist C. Pasceri. Two musicians of class and an extraordinary interpreter of dance, which is a musical instrument in its own right as it expresses a sort of visual music, a unique combination of dance, mime, acting that established a fascinating, compelling dialogue with acoustic music. But dance is also being with the body and its ever-changing figures. By dancing, humans pour their memory and their inner world into experience: one could say that they echo each other and lend dance a dimension which propagates in time. A collection of faces and persons, and the intertwining of their experience, form the structure of this new piece of work by Virgilio Sieni.
