Àgape is a complex and elusive concept, imbued with profound human and spiritual resonance. It represents a transcendent love that goes beyond earthly conventions and is understood as a divine energy. This work is a reflection on the order of the universe, where everything moves to a frequency, a subtle, invisible energy that manifests itself through time and care.

Luna Cenere guides performers Ilaria Quaglia and Davide Tagliavini through an artistic exploration in harmony with the live music and performance of internationally renowned electroacoustic composer Renato Grieco. The sound performance, in counterpoint and dialogue with the choreography, completes the sensory experience with a depth that moves beyond the gaze.

“When the rhythm of daily life is interrupted, when a step or a gesture falters beyond the margins of action, something else has moved us. We don’t know what. But it is in that moment that we become fragile like all things, and it is in that moment that, if we listen, the dance of all things appears to us.” — Luna Cenere
