The image from which I started is the snow that we can observes when at the window. I contemplated the whiteness of the outside and the warmth of the inside, the sense of well-being, protection and community that one often feels in these moments. Before starting to work with the dancers’ bodies, I started with their clothes. So I decided to involve a group of women who, during the pandemic, came together to reinvent themselves, rediscovering the art of crochet in the project “Club dell’uncinetto”. By intertwining these elements, I would like to invade the viewer with a sudden snowfall of moving bodies, to stop its time in front of a serene contemplation.
