Gigante is a research for a performer on the change of the body at night. A dance that dialogues with Bach's Goldberg Variations, written, it would seem, at the request of the Duke of Keyserling so that they would accompany his sleepless nights. And a game, a dialogue with the body and its knowledge, an exploration of obsessions, whims, transformations welcomed in the night. Gigante is what seems impossible to achieve, an ancient score, a volcano in the middle of the Mediterranean. And it is also part of a research on dance as a virtuous activity, that is, one that leaves no tangible object after its passage.
