 This solo blends dance, voice and narrative to evoke the mosaics of Aquileia as both physical surface and symbolic archive. 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
