Italian premiere

Chuck struggles with all his might against the demands of everyday life, but he does so through butoh, the famous Japanese dance, in a clown-inspired version. His greatest passion is inflatable balloons, but he is trapped in a routine made of memorised patterns, the meaning of which he does not understand. How can his passion coexist with this frightening world? The introspective and intense movements of butoh blend with the vulnerability and humour of clowning, offering a unique insight into the human condition.
