The Japanese word Mono contains various meanings: thing, matter, person, Spirit, God; to understand the hidden meaning of the word we must embrace the animist culture, which recognizes the spirit in everything, its energy, its memory, but also a specific divine entity. In quantum physics, matter is mainly composed of vacuum, this means that every  thing and every person is a different manifestation of this vibrant void, for this reason it is divine. An empty dance where the dancer floats like a ghost, wishes to cling to memories or emotions generated by the encounter with the objects, and let the forms die, vanish in the flow of the game of life.A music made up of voids and sound layers, that bring the performance in the dreaming time, fluctuating, another time-space, where the Spirits and the archetypes can manifest themselves….like the spirit of the Amabie, a magical creature, who has the power to ward off epidemics, a cat woman in the moonlight, an old woman eaten by ants, a universal flower blooming, the ancient wisdom of the Earth and of life, which is eternal and ever changing.
