ALPHA GRACE – ANOTHER STORY – SECUS

Another story by Diego Tortelli is a duet on the impossible gesture of the last year: the embrace. The programme closes with Secus, a creation by Ohad Naharin with an unusual musical style, combining electronic sounds and Indian melodies with the harmonies of the Beach Boys.

Starring 3 dancers from the company, 3 singers and 3 musicians from the Istituto Peri.
