The unexpected encounter of an experienced interpreter and a young creator with the desire to build a narrative from a search for possible loops is the motto for LOOP. A ballet of loops or a loop of small ballets. The dance of apparent impossibility, the invisibility of the abstract constructed from concrete, from particular action. To them they join a ballerina-music and a designer of light around the construction of a failed concert.

To insist, to reformulate variants through small metamorphoses, look for different dynamics between continuity, interferences and cuts. The neoliberal system that forces us not to stop, the guilt, the loop that transforms into another loop, the consequent narrative: how to escape the inescapable? How to set up identities characterised by constant mobility around invisible walls and yet present?
