EROS
At the primordial dawn of time, the universe existed as an infinite abyss of Night. After mating with the Wind, Night laid a silver egg in the heart of the darkness. From that egg, Eros emerged.
EROS is a solo dance work choreographed and performed by Matteo Carvone, freely inspired by the primordial Greek deity. Here, Eros is not the familiar figure of romantic love, but the force that brings the world into being, making all things and creatures visible to one another.
Eros embodies the radical vitality of immortal energy: the very essence of life and the force of desire from which new life emerges.
An immense force of creation, sought after and impossible to possess.
