La natura delle cose

Italian critics have acclaimed this production as sophisticated, fragile, the bearer of miraculous beauty… a sequence of delicate choreographies that culminate in an extraordinary aesthetic experience. In the hands of the renowned Italian choreographer Virgilio Sieni, Lucretius’ philosophic and encyclopaedic poem De rerum natura inspires a dialectic discourse that weaves together delight with horror, birth with death, joy with breakdown… A show whose choreographic construction explores the body’s movement on stage, going beyond the grasp of the rational to recreate a poem. Moving and poetic.
