Short film created using some video materials from Danse Macabre! stage work expanded in a purely visual dynamic, very rhythmic and “stroboscopic” to induce a game of altered state, beyond dance, beyond the screen.

Dance of death is late-medieval tradition that combines visual art, architecture, poetry, and other media. It is one of the most widespread iconographic themes in the history of western art, extremely connected to the spread of the Black Plague, an epidemic which at the end of the Middle Ages wiped out millions of victims throughout Europe, but which also brought out a more complex thought about reality, which saw man tried to investigate deeply his relationship with the earthly world. It refers to the general idea that the movements of the stars, the gods, the spirits and nature are also a dance.

Danse Macabre! is an invitation to dance to this unknown beyond, looking for an experience of perceptive displacement of the spectator, probing the dark matter of the imagination. Dance manifests itself in changing forms, attempting to free from the violence of representation, oscillating between different poles, making the invisible visible in a hyper-conscious tension between life and death.
