BAMBINI NEL BUIO
Balletto Civile

SYNOPSIS

A group of young people leave a rave at dawn.

He climbs a hill to observe a rare phenomenon. For a moment, the moon will pass in front of the sun, completely obscuring the Earth: it's a total eclipse.

A daylong journey, facing fatigue, the attraction of the unknown, and searching for an answer to escape boredom. A soundtrack of live electro-noise music, from which emerge rhythmic lyrics, intense dialogue, songs about the uncertainty of the future, and a prayer to the stars for a return to nature. Under an unprecedented light, the eclipse of the world we knew has arrived. Which Icarus will have the courage to face this sun?

In its relentless pursuit of forging relationships, Balletto Civile returns with a project that once again places the body at the center as a form of resistance. A truly collective manifesto that explores how a community can transcend shadows and return to the light.

A twisting journey of growth that weaves through anger and rapture in a furious dance.

In the world's incomprehension, the body explodes with fear and urgency to affirm its own identity in a metaphorical journey that moves from solitude towards community.
