The end is without recourse. A new world and a new citizenship are pressing here and now.
The tempest is over, we can lock away the darkness of usurpation and the illusion of dominion. All that remains is the possibility of reconciliation, of a powerful place for relationships.
Tempesta/The Spirits is a ballet for six dancers. Three couples form a group, a kind of tribe which, through its choreography, performs a dance of sudden engagements, epidermal inhabitations and volatile bodies linked by a continuous and mutual twisting one within the other.
The mechanisms of dialogue and relationships make it possible to apply a strict daily exercise that can raise us above the dominant systems of subjectivity, to rename desires and reveal a very specific quality of vicinity. Being in a place found together, being there and working together to establish an ethereal state of gestures, of delicate negotiations designed to create new forms of expression and different qualities of time, jointly rehabilitating the apparition and leading to an advent.
