PERFORMANCE
“Special K is a famous brand of breakfast cereals, an aeroplane used during the Second World War, and the magic word used to describe ketamine. It’s a record by Placebo, but above all, it’s the way I like to think of Kate Bush, champion of my desires and mother of my most colourful dreams. Free-spirited, always dancing, sharp and versatile, Kate Bush has been an important guide who has managed to really express the joy of being yourself.”
Davide Tagliavini

Starting from the question: ‘What is special?’, this new project by Tagliavini is a journey that intersects biography and pop-rock culture, accompanied by a video narrative that plays with images, culminating in an unexpected road trip.
