An encounter between the choreographer and an Indian dancer. Italy and India are far away from each other, but they have many things in common, for example, their names in Italian: Italia and India. Both start with an “I” and end with an “A”. The space between “I” and “A” has been filled not with the letters that are necessary to write Italia or India but with a mix of the two cultures, finding new bridges that connect them.
