Come un respiro

Choreography by MAURO BIGONZETTI
Music: Georg Friedrich Händel
Costumes: LUCIA SOCCI
Lighting design: CARLO CERRI

A breath pervades and spreads through these works of Händel.
Abounding with evocative power, they seize and drag us into a vortex which seems to convey an echo of infinite spaces.
The crystalline synthesis that distinguishes them exalts pure matter. The matter is made of tension and movement and seems to collect the breathing of the universe.
On this movement, the body, unadorned to present its pure shape, takes form in a physical space that tends to merge in a breath of pure and intimate inspiration.
