Cantata is choreography bursting with the typical vibrant colors of the South. Its passionate and viscern gestures evoke a mediterranean and wild type of beazty. An instinctual and vital dance explores the varoius facets of the relationship between man and woman: seduction, passion, quarreles, jalousy.
In this ballet, created after my encounter with a group of musicians from Naples and Puglia, dance and Music strongly intermingle.
