ICARUS

​

​

And when the human body is gone, who will dance then?

Perhaps only an echo remains: a gesture, a vibration, a memory still pulsing—suspended between what we were and what is yet to come.

​

Inspired by the myth of Icarus, this work unfolds as a collective artistic exchange between choreographer Matteo Carvone, artist and composer Camilla Metelka, and dancer Cristian Cucco. It explores the desire to exceed limits, abandon the body, and reach toward a dangerous illusion of transcendence.

​

Here, sound, choreography, and light intertwine, forming a space where aspiration, excess, and self-consumption continuously take shape and transform. At its core lies the crossing of a threshold—a moment of risk and exposure that may also hold a fragile possibility of hope.

The Lost Tape is the original composition created for ICARUS by artist and composer Camilla Metelka. Conceived as an immersive eight-channel sound installation, it transforms the surrounding air into a tangible architectural space. Acting as an invisible material rather than simply accompanying the choreography, it shapes the environment through which body and light move.
