Set on a choreographic landscape inspired by the basilica’s patterns, the performer traces a layered history of cultural, linguistic and spiritual exchanges across the ancient Mediterranean. Moving between gesture and storytelling, the work reflects on memory as a stratified space where histories and myths overlap, suggesting a vision of Europe shaped by plurality, encounter and transformation **Recommended artist Aerowaves 2026** ![Aerowaves](https://aerowaves.org/wp-content/themes/aerowaves/assets/img/Aerowaves-Default_Logo_Black.svg) ![](https://www.mg-lj.si/media/f25a0cc6e9/LogosBeneficairesCreativeEuropeRIGHT_EN.jpg)
