The choreographic project is a multidisciplinary creation between dance and circus art. Inspired by the universes of intense emotional extent of the illustrator Lorenzo Mattotti, the narration leads us into imaginative worlds, where mood and poetry alternate with pressing pace. Narrative images interweave to give life to a story that digs into the memory of the fairy tale, evoking symbols and images of childhood anxiety and where light and dark dress a leading role.

As in any fairy tale of growth, the narrative insists and returns on the dynamics generated by the demand and the desire for balance facing the obstacle, the test to pass, the safe place and the status to be conquered: abandoning the presumed certainty of a center, the story slides into the precariousness of motion, in the search for a temporary safe place, of a plausible order, to finally give us the only possible certainty: that nothing remains ever the same and that the condition of demand is the only one way to growth, change, discovery.
