within La Francia si muove

I would like to deal with one of the features of the membrane, its “tensegrity”, word that suggests the complementarity between tension and integrity.

This first stage, Membrain strata 1, focus on the experimentation of this dynamic behaviour starting from the smallest scale to arrive to the whole of the body.

To dialog with a structure in “tensegrity”, as an extension of the body and as a dynamic support, is a stimulus to play with the symmetry of skin and brain and to listen to the “tensegrity”of the different tissues, in a continuum between the skin and the DNA.
