After Deserto Rosso by Michelangelo Antonioni, Daria Deflorian and Antonio Tagliarini continue to delve into cinematic imagery, this time drawing from Maestro Federico Fellini. Here is Ginger and Fred and a sentence that Amelia tells Pippo at the end of the film: «I don’t think we’ll still have the opportunity to dance together “. Indelible Images, sounds and signs become a pretext to outline possibilities of dialogue, encounter and transmission, putting the focus back on the couple. The approach by Daria and Antonio since Rewind (their first collaboration) has since explored and exploded into a series of new encounters and now they are simultaneously reunited and fragmented together with the crew of performers involved in the show. Three generations, three tempos, three couples dancing together, back and forth in time, as in one of the dream sequences made immortal by the great director but also «a dedicated ballad to the artists, to their desire to be another, to their determination to play for life, to fall at each clapperboard, to detail the most senseless, secret details of their biography, to their unmasking “intentionally yet without intention”as Fellini said when speaking of the actor’s work».
