Project summary

Chronicle of an Evolving Balance is the third part of a triptych (a choreographic solo and a short film) exploring the intimate and social expressions of sadness. Inspired by Mediterranean collective rituals of lamentation and mourning, this work, carried by three dancers, examines how personal grief can become a shared language. Continuing a reflection on the act of crying as a cultural and political gesture, the project turns fragility into a space of solidarity, balance, and collective resistance.
