ĀTMAN

Dance – Kea Tonetti

live music – Tivitavi

The Ātman is the Self, the pure Consciousness projecting in the world. It is the breath that gives life, the absolute in us, outside of space-time; the one that finds the Self, Ātman, embraces all worlds. With its simple presence, the Ātman gives life to everything and all is reabsorbed in the Ātman. A performance where the dance and the sound go through a continuous state of transformation: free, vibrant and at the same time static and silent. The body becomes empty and is danced; the music, as vibration, permits to the silence to penetrate the sounds. The emotions of the place and the public manifest, the space-time borders open in the present moment. Messenger of the performance is the Spirit of a fox-woman, like the Japanese Kitsune, they bring abundance and fertility, they can transform themselves in everything they like, more they are old more they are wise, they can have up to 9 tales, they are omniscient and can see and feel everything that is happening in the world. The fox woman represents both a mirror of the human thoughts, fears, attachments and the love for the Earth life, the desire to escape continuously to the Death. In the myths the fox is the vehicle of the soul, dances the union between the soul and the matter.
