PREMIERED IN MODENA, ITALY OCTOBER 2020

The main character is a girl / woman. She is seen at two different ages interpreted by two dancers. Echoes create parallels and reflections of the character's past. To be able to hear one’s own voice is the condition for growth, but this requires indulging in one’s own feelings and history. In Greek mythology Ekho was  a nymph who spoke whenever others spoke and who never started a conversation while others were silent. She became the personification of an acoustic phenomenon known as an echo.
