Presented as a preview in October 2017 at the MilanOltre Festival and debuted in May 2019 at the LAC in Lugano, The Rain Sequence opens a horizon of research linked to meteorology and premonition in the world of animals.
A work that transversally crosses the techniques of classical ballet to project itself into an invention of an unclassifiable language.
The choreography is made up of fixed sequences, which the dancers dismantle and reassemble at will and in a random sense.
The scene features a wind and light machine that refers to a changing space full of clouds, a scenographic and lighting work conceived by the duo First Rose. The backdrop swells with the wind emitted by industrial fans, which also emit the basic sound of the choreographic work, and emits a changing light.
