SYNOPSIS
A paranoic-schizophrenic man is looking for his mother.
SYNOPSIS
In a city where dark force rules through fear and separation, the story of TRANSFERENCE, a show integrating panoramic animation with pantomime, resolves suffering into harmony and unity through the power of heartfelt love and courage. Identifying positive change as Divine Feminine, the piece draws that vision into existence. The seed idea for this story was conceived by Svetlana David and Elena Alexandra in their book, 'The Puzzle of the Tall Tower'
SYNOPSIS
Rooted in the theme of Roman She Wolf, Ombre dal Lupercale (Shadows from the Realm of the Wolves) was a part of the Teverenterno project, a nightlong series of seven site-specific works projected on the embarkment wall of the Tiber river on June 21st, 2006 from dusk to dawn. The multimedia event was directed by Kristin Jones and produced by Gaia Cianfanelli.

SYNOPSIS
When a vessel of love is smashed against life's hidden reef,
The sky-blue eyes of Youth get soaked in salty grief.
The dark hour follows, the world shakes and howls,
And merciless fear sends out its owls
It seems that the soul needs sorrow and fright
To recover its sense for being timeless and bright...
