A sudden unexpected faint

A grand piano dances and the dancers roll across the parquet. But although all the performers seem to be on shaky ground, it's just an illusion. Slowly, everything begins to unravel, and that's the beauty of this performance. The dreamlike, between the meal ticket and the comedy.

Choreographer and dancer Francesco Scavetta wants to elicit the audience's own associations and wonderings with this performance. He believes this wondering can be compared to our need to find out what has happened before and after a fainting spell.

Both dancers turn round and round, losing themselves in a circular intricacy that hypnotizes the audience with an elegant lightness and at the same time a strong dramatic expressiveness. With Jon Balke on stage wearing a bowler hat, while playing his own composed music on a grand piano, this is a great scenic and musical experience.

Towards the end, the performance dissolves itself with the help of the video projections.

The performance has been shown in several places in Italy, as well as in Marseilles in France.
