Swan, a solo, enclosed in his room, brooding over the need for the fantastic, the surreal. An approach to Swan Lake as a movement toward rebirth, faithful to no version.
I started from certain elements around the work Swan Lake without intending to reinterpret it, following the path of a free approach. It was a long incubation, that dimension which holds care, vigilance, and the waiting for the hatching, trusting that the fruit of creation would speak, trying not to channel its sprouts too soon.
We glimpse a man and his giving space to something absurd, unusual. At times innocence emerges, the childlike part that plays beyond age, giving voice to multiple feelings, entering different rooms of his soul, meeting the need for escape and rebellion. In the background, a lake rippled on its surface from which new and different swans emerge, with the inevitable encounter with contemporary myths and immortality. Flowing through it all is a strong joyful spirit, expressed through play and freedom. Like an explorer I set out on a journey, ultimately to find the courage to kill the Swan.

sta là ci dà un senso di inizio

Tutto è nato in un caldo pomeriggio d’estate, un ventilatore, una danza in salotto, venuta fuori dal nulla.
Una serie di segni mi hanno spinto a far conoscenza di Swan.
Tutto è partito da lontano, con più estati sovrapposte, i sogni d’estate rimangono caldi più a lungo.
