Handmade Tales

This work stems from the deep awareness that music and dance are inextricably linked. They are a continuum: one is a different manifestation of the other.

Anyone who dances produces music with his movements. In turn, anyone who plays music dances with his body.

In this series of works called “Handmade Tales” I try to enhance this natural link between dance and music:
My hands represent two characters who tell short stories. They tell them by interpreting a choreography. The stage on which all this happens is a keyboard.
Then something happens: the choreography GENERATES the music and, at the same time, the music GENERATES the choreography.

They are to some extent a different manifestation of the same phenomenon.
