Italian premiere

Following the success of Full Moon, Josef Nadj and Ivan Fatjo return to Mittelfest, blending dance, music and performance. Inspired by the writings of the Zen master Musō and the Hungarian poet Dezső Tandori, they bring to the stage a body that oscillates between life and mechanism, between the organic and the artificial, between man and puppet. Through the music of John Cage and an unprecedented use of masks, they challenge the very nature of performance and invite us to reflect on the body, identity and movement.
