The Time of a Night Expands On thee Doorstep

Music by Pietro Frigato

On the doorstep of a night, the times of different stories merge, devouring tales that evoke places, people, lights, bodily sensations, and the myths that inhabit them. Stories that appear, are sought after, and found in the streets, transforming into multiple voices that lose definition and emerge in their dim and fragmentary state. They are made of rustling in the wind, of light that spreads and disappears in the context, appearing at dusk, of voices and ancient sounds that echo, reinventing themselves. On the doorstep, the narrative expands in three installative acts, celebrating what is hybrid and transitional, sometimes in the shadows, yet remains in forms of continuous change.
