DANZA is a performance about the dance itself and its presence in our daily life. The musicality of the ordinary body movements and the ways of perception of dance are the main themes of the piece. The text of the performance is built by organic interpretation of gestures and situations performed in classical music sets.

DANZA is about the dance itself and its unavoidable presence in our daily life. There are many ways of perception of life. One of all is to blow the wind in an empty bag and listen for the music.
