CHOREOGRAPHIES
LES NOCES

A light lonely noise that grows to become a chorus.

Men and women confront each other and a table, that will soon be the altar laid with the sweat of their bodies, keeps them apart.

Feelings and emotions get real in the extreme harshness of entrapped bodies, of souls struggling not to implode but to explode in the various colors of love and passion, breaking the black and white in which too often wedding’s ritual is trapped.

It is an invitation to follow Arianna’s thread, red as the blood that leads to what really counts in the bond between two lovers.
