“In this work by the choreographer Luciano Padovani (who, sitting in the background, embodies the now iconic image of the prisoner political leader) you can perceive in the air the tension and drama of a lived story, told and visually framed from an angle different from the usual narration of a remote event, reviewed instead as if through the lens of an objective capable of making material and gestural the most impalpable feelings and torments typical of an era of great impulses and ideological battles. Being able to move and retrace this entire path to backwards, it was a wonderful and exciting experience.”
Pier Luigi Gentile
