“Night” is a landmark project in our artistic journey which, drawing inspiration from the universe of poet Al Berto, combines a reflection on the state of the world with a festive and celebratory dimension. Grounded in immense physical and sonic energy, the performance invites the audience on a journey through different dimensions of the night.
The set is made up of nearly a hundred tires, used to create various spaces in both spatial and dramaturgical senses.
Outskirts, swamps, non-places for all kinds of castaways. An arena of emotions ready to explode. Excess, intensity, liberation. The unknown is that bright line between night and dawn.
– back then we were just two friends and a dog
we had the whole world just for ourselves
– we run
– it’s night
– we have the flight of the heart at our fingertips
– it’s night
let’s be silent for a while
let’s also forget time
it’s time to allucinate
