Year: 2010

Saverio and his seven-year-old brother Augusto have been living in a village in the Italian Alps with Uncle Fausto and Aunt Domenica since their parents died in a tragic car accident 4 years previously. Saverio has a strong spiritual bond with nature and is planning to spend part of his summer break in the high pastures to experience life as a shepherd and to learn how to make the local cheese. The unexpected arrival of Valentino, from the USA, after a forty-year absence gives the village gossips something to talk about and Saverio's adventures continue as the gentle community is thrust into turmoil when a baby mysteriously disappears.

A fulldome dance film set amidst the rich and varied landscapes of Zimbabwe, where performers express the tension, resilience and interconnectedness between people and the natural world under the pressures of climate change. With their movements, the dancers explore the consequences of environmental disruption and the profound ways in which people and nature are intertwined. Through abstract choreography, symbolic imagery and an atmospheric score, the work reflects the planet’s vulnerability, the challenges posed by environmental shifts and the transformative potential of collective effort. As the dancers navigate these ever-changing locations, their movements evoke the escalating consequences of a warming world, capturing both its fragility and the urgent call for action.
