Songs
An exploration into the deeper aspects of psychological conditions, between the hidden folds of being and its infinity of phases. When dance carries and expresses the most intrinsic and visceral feelings there is no when and where, but only now and always.
In Songs, a sensual and refined pas de trois, Mauro Bigonzetti returns to a composer close to his own sensibility and one of his favorites, Henry Purcell. A unique genius and a singular master in the expression of human passions, Purcell is contemporary in language, timeless in subject matter and the author of the “Songs” from which the choreography takes its name.
Originally created for two men and a woman, since 2002 there is also a new version exclusively for male dancers.
