Six dancers are at the mercy of the constant shifts in their inner selves, suddenly altering their positions and emotional states. At times, they convey an objective perspective; at others, they are deeply immersed in their subjective feelings. By repeatedly crossing sensitive boundaries, they experience a spiral of development that unfolds in their movements: what has been suppressed suddenly breaks through, revealing the shadow of their personality, echoing C.G. Jung’s words: “Everything you are, but you don’t want to be.”
In this collective experiment, each dancer acts both as an individual and as part of the group, driven by a compelling need to reach the true core of their own personality. Simultaneously, a complex web of relationships and vibrations emerges among the dancers, stimulating each of them and propelling the experiment forward.
