How long do you think we’re here?
The space is vast, the perimeter uncertain between peaceful nature on the outside and evolving dark material on the inside. Simplicity and recognition, generate a reciprocal touch pregnant with unexpressed substance, the present is inscribed in the place of encounter, each word and gesture and passage leave their seed in the air, gathered in their invisible perceptibility, bearing fruit and generating the next gesture, each one guards secrets, knowledgeable is the inner voice that emerges, indirect and real. The words of the body resonate in space becoming a continuous evolution, successive movement, like an exercise book wasted with its unused white pages, like a window open to the sky, like a sheet hanging out to dry, like a stretch of parched earth, like a rock waiting for a wave, like a field of wheat in unexpected wind. What remains, strength and grace, the discipline of loving unconditionally the ways of the body, the secret is illuminated close by, not wanting to be deciphered and remains in respect of that which in the end is hidden.

… it would be impossible to mesure the time …
Once you see the dance of Maria Muñoz and become familiar with that of Raffaella Giordano, if you try and see them both together, initially you will be struck by the differences in the physicality and dynamism of their dance but then, more secretly, you will feel a sort of community that reveals harmony and an intensity of presence.
It took almost “nothing” to bring them together and immediately for there to be evidence of an extremely moving cohabitation of the stage. It is this sense of possible sharing and the profound truth in each of them, that the desire to join them together was born.
