An imposing metal structure which looks like an open builder's yard; men in work overalls are bustling about making sure that everything is right, a glance at the spectators and the worry that they remain unharmed, whatever happens. The water begins to take possession of the metal structure, it becomes louder and louder until it transforms into a rushing waterfall. For the dancers it is time to experiment with the water's power.

Within a microcosm which seems to have captured them, bodies compete with the thrill of height, challenging the laws of gravity: harnesses, elastic ropes and swings constitute the extension needed to confront a new, suggestive dimension of movement. Play on light and shadow, reflections which mould the flow from transparent veil to almost impenetrable wall, hypnotic throbbing music underline the search for a gestural expressiveness which hints at acrobatics.

This creation by Ivan Manzoni is once again the result of a desire to overcome the traditional architectural and linguistic barriers of dance: the dramatic quest has been replaced by a study of the potential which can be offered by the meeting/clashing of the force of water restrained within a structure and the potential of the human body. Within the body-machine contamination, within the powerful flow of energy generated by the water, an element which gives rise to an unprecedented spectacularity, lies the suggestion of a show with strong visual impact, an involving experience for an audience of all ages.
