Lute is the sparkle of embers in an ancient Italic dialect. That enigmatic sparkle that so hypnotizes in evanescent geometries. It is in front of those embers that human began to tell fantastic stories.

Immersed in an empty space and made sparkling by special light effects, two figures appear as unidentifiable beings who dance and build strange objects. Their skins sparkle like a mineral and they carry on their shoulders a dried flora that is mysteriously colored by chemical baths. Their perpetual and incessant action suggests a mysterious activity of bees. Something exact, almost mechanical, transpires in their actions in drawing spatial trajectories and geometries. They dance in an invented language, which crosses different codes and ultimately chooses none.
In memory of Alan Turing.
