MERU is a mythical and sacred mountain.

In “MERU” the man, in continuous metamorphosis, through his movements, connects with the mountain, with its monolithic standing and with the hidden flow of water, animals and vegetation, but also with its wildest and most mysterious soul.

Starting from the intimate experience that the interpreter has had with the mountain, MERU, follows a dreamlike narrative as a meditation on the changing flow of landscapes and sensations.
