Sacred night

through the masks

white breath of dancers

(Kikaku 1661-1707)

During the longest night of the year,the 21 of December, a ritual is weaved in the present, between two musicians and two dancers. The music creates the plot of the time, opening intervals where everything suspends and where the dance becomes mirror and at the same time its reflection, where to see through masks and dreams, as in the moonlit night. Darkness generates light, light illuminates darkness, but who is looking and projecting what is manifesting? A vibrant act, beyond space and time, where the ability to wonder awakens light in the heart and the beauty of existence.

Presented in 2015 at Macao, Milan.
