In Florence, for around twenty years, Virgilio Sieni has been passionately crafting his erudite and mysterious canon. Whether choreography, photography or publishing, his various projects have an overarching aesthetic coherence and all are imprinted with the same spirituality. His knowledge of art history and anatomy, as well as his practice of martial arts, make him tirelessly question himself about subtle notions such as balance, energy and vibration. This latest fascinating performance stands solidly behind Lucretian philosophy, drawing ideas from his text ‘De la nature des choses’ (‘On the nature of things’). This dialectic between wonderment and stupor, delight and bitterness, exquisite pleasure and disintegration is an opera for the body, sounds and words. Yet this piece for one female and four male dancers clad in unsettling masks, can equally be considered as an incredibly rich visual poem. Between the sheer curtains that frame the stage, or through a thick fog the visions it reveals to us carry us far away.
