PINK CARPET

Creation 2024 I site specific I Length Loop 10 - 20 mins

Where does reality meet imagination? PINK CARPET is a captivating journey through the delicate boundaries of reality and imagination, celebrating the 10th anniversary of the Nunzio Impellizzeri Dance Company. Inspired by Nunzio Impellizzeri's experience with his mother's Alzheimer's, a symbolic pink carpet traces the subtle linebetween the tangible and the unreal, from an emblem of hope to a bridge between worlds. The creation celebrates the unpredictability and depth of existence, poetically exploring the boundary between reality and imagination.

Immersed in pink, the audience crosses the line between reality and dream, exploring the complexities of Alzheimer's. The carpet becomes a portal that separates the concrete from the metaphysical, enveloping the audience in vibrant positive energy.

PINK CARPET offers an inclusive experience by actively involving the audience, interweaving their stories with those of the artist. Human relationships unfold through an orchestra of movement and sound, reflecting the richness of the human condition.
