The music is entrusted to the flutes of Stefano Agostini, quotes from ‘Recitar Canzoni’ and ‘Vox Aquae’ with guitars by Marco Gammanossi, bass and violin by Nino Marini and percussion by Giovanni Canale and Giacomo Riggi, Handel and Vivaldi, Bosso and Buffetti, Conte and Gluck. The performance is completed by images that interact with the movements of the artists, creating a surrealist atmosphere of the 1930s.
