PERFORMANCE
As the outcome of the workshop led by Valerio Longo, this public presentation shares with the audience the research journey undertaken by the participants, centred on the themes of roots, identity and community. A collective performance in which individual movements intertwine to form a collective whole, conveying the value of listening, sharing and connection through the language of dance.
