A profound exploration of the art of control in search of true freedom, guided by Roberta Ferrara.
With no predetermined dramaturgy, this creation becomes an experience of pure energy, a fluid dialogue between body and sound.

Thracia’s music is not merely sound, but a collective movement, a spiritual journey. Through the kaval, a flute that breathes ancient melodies, and the distant echoes of battles and celebrations, a song emerges that invites the soul to dance, to lose itself in the infinite circles of the horo, where the individual dissolves and the group becomes a beating heart, a body in motion.
The title itself, with its unusual, archaic and poetic structure drawn from literary English, often found in poetic texts to evoke nostalgic or romantic tones, creates an authentic aura—an act of surrender and elevation reflected in the eyes of those who observe. A dance that does not narrate but soars, that does not display but floats, carrying the audience into a suspended dimension.
