The moment I appear on stage, those who listen look; sometimes those who look listen. Each gives priority to their own inner perception. At times music carries the gesture; at others, the reverse happens. At times, unexpected connections and brief moments of synthesis emerge. Everything is very simple, within its inevitable complexity, without any complication. Guardasenti, precisely: look-listen-feel.

Three listening tableaux, three “rooms” of three different contemporary composers. To immerse oneself in listening to a particular piece of music and draw compositional inspiration from it. To observe differences and connections of rhythm, timbre and form. To try to understand what musical writing and choreographic composition have to say to one another, in terms of form and economy of signs. What they evoke.

To seek—or imagine—a free zone in which music and choreography move away from formal abstraction and embrace a more direct, emotional descriptive quality.
