Logos Review 2019: “KALSA” Co-organization CeDAC Sardinia

Eternal conflict between body and soul, between visible and invisible.

The pièce was born as a perfect union between music and dance. The live sound of the marranzani creates a state of exaltation, guided by the desire to surpass oneself, a real journey backwards, an intensification of mental and physical skills and the search for mystical ecstasy.
