Angels are known for their wings [ali] which symbolize their fusion between being human and bird, earth and sky at the same time. Come le ali follows in the creative footsteps of Oratorio per Eva and originates from a meditation of the figures of Cain and Abel. It is the second stage of a reflection research started with Corpo a Corpo (first meditation on Cain and Abel) which was presented last year during MilanOltre. The question is: what would the world be like without the original violence against one’s own brother? The answer is articulated in a research work on the abilities of bonding, sharing and pacifically coexisting that living organisms, animals and plants, possess.

Relationships can be the wings between human beings, through a symbiosis that is a possible utopia, an attempt to coexist. Is there a stronger and more immediate way to stage this research work than bodies generating the metaphor of the unison and synchronicity if not dance? Symbiotic subjects transform themselves into a new biological organism through dancing.
