"REVIVAL" is a sacred ritual that restores humanity’s unity with nature, encouraging us to reflect on the essential elements of life.

In our modern era, crucial elements like air, water, earth have become inspirations for new thoughts. This performance is therefore envisioned as a revival, connecting water to life, air to the power of reason, earth to conscious existence and light of civilization.

Humanity, lost in the complex paths of progress, is guided by the wisdom of ancient priests who journey from the distant past to our present, revealing the artistry inherent in each element of nature.

The sacred dialectic of man and woman, formed within the dynamics of cosmic connections, will once again weave humanity’s fabric in a collective effort for Goodness.

Just as a carpet is woven from countless knots, we also portray the beauty of unity achieved through collective will in this manner.

The pure-hearted Princess of the Maiden Tower, confined by human limitations, will free herself from her stone prison, reminding us all of what it means to be human, inspiring us with her beauty, purity, and delicacy.

To be human is to accept our fragility, but this does not mean we should not take our place on the stage of life.

Let us not forget that life, like Beauty itself, fades if it is not cared for, if it is not honored. Beauty, indeed, exists in the eyes of the beholder.

Thus, the humanity as a herald of the new world, will be ignited by the ecstasy of dance and the hopeful anticipation of spring, bringing new breath to all things. – Francesco Bondì.
