Where: Ducal Chapel of Palazzo Farnese, piazza Cittadella 29, Piacenza
By Lorenzo Morandini promoted as part of dAS FESTIVAL 2024 – Corpo Magico. Winner of the SIAE-Per Chi Crea 2023, Lorenzo Morandini explores in S the relationship between the dancing body and the flight of drones, creating a score of extravagant, ironic, abstract and imaginative events. With sounds and movements reminiscent of the flight of insects or flying machines, the drone becomes both ‘technological beast’ and dreamlike creature.
