CONCEPT:

The bodies travel through channels of movement inspired by the suggestions of a land that has struggled to rise from the waters and give identity and firmness to a people who encompass values, traditions, contemporaneity, and cross-cutting languages.

There exists an invisible space between human reason and superstition, an interstice of light where the soul finds nourishment in ritual, in the sacred, and in the exploration of the divine. In that place, the Human Being elevates spiritually, connects with intangible spirits, performs acts of faith to distance themselves from the cage of the flesh, and rediscover ancestral memories. In this space, time bends, truth thins, and the only possible reality diverges into ecstasy.

A journey into a ‘sounding’ Sardinia.

A sonic, physical, environmental experience in which, by traversing traditions and listening to nature, artists and spectators can be immersed in a new condition: reaching a liminal space and the possibility of experiencing transformative practice.

The performance involves the participation of the audience.
