"J. S. Bach' music is transparent, direct, complex but evident, structured but free, rich with an infinite variety of emotions. Serene. It is my wish that the music supports the discovery of choreographic images, the coherence and structure of which become gradually less evident; the movements blow up, non-stop search of an imaginary unity.
This title -Axioma 7- comes from mathematical vocabulary. Axioma is a word, which always fascinated me for ist sonority and meaning. The word appeases as much as it intrigues.
An axioma is a self-evident principle, non-demonstrable but admitted by all, forming a system. It is a set of deductions and of demonstrations. In the choreographic work there is a mathematical beauty in the building of movements and in the logic of the liaisons."
