A performance made of sound, body and images that celebrates simple and important aspects of living together: the relationship of a community with History, work and nature. It is the result of a creative process shared with spontaneous and traditional singers from the host areas. The music plays a kind of median role, between our present and the history of these people and places, and constitutes the point of origin of the choreographic creation. / Aware that words such as tradition, identity, community can be misunderstood, the question that triggers the process is: are we willing to deal with Tradition, to (let) transform these elements of our identity, so that they are again and again in relation with the world around us? ‘dov’è più profondo’ (‘where it is deepest’) takes up this question with all possible delicacy and, in relating to this rich, ambiguous and stratified matter, builds a scenic proposal that also dialogues with those whose urban history is different and distant from the landscapes they cross: marginal and minority (cultural) geographies.
