The contemporary dance performance explores the four seasons, travelling and observing the transformation of humanity and nature. When we think of nature, we think of plants, animals, elements of the environment... Nature is very diverse: dormant and awake, strong and always renewing itself. The seasons are both subtle and profound. They are made up of their own rhythmic cycles, like a metronome chanting a steady beat. Mankind uses nature to survive, adapting and regenerating with each cycle, then, like a leaf, growing old and finally dying. Man and nature are very much alike: they are in constant motion, both made up of a collection of breathing, living organisms. Nature can change the state of mind of human beings. Nature does not need humanity, yet humans depend on nature, even though they often destroy it. Most of the time, the tree dominates our minds when we think of nature. It is no accident that we use the genealogical tree as a reference to our past, giving humanity roots and a sense of eternal continuity. Through artistic masterpieces such as Vivaldi's Four Seasons, people can sometimes achieve immortality.

Many Ways: a work inspired by possible life journeys. The journey, the inexhaustible choices, the many directions, the learning, the inner journey and the various obstacles that any of us must overcome. My personal journey as an artist, as a human being, has guided me in many ways, full of emotions and experiences, in contact with many wonderful souls.
