Il Segreto (The Secret) is a choreographic action with three rotating sound machines, Rose Spinner, imagined and created with Francesco Cavaliere. The Secret and its practice, staged by a dancer or several dancers, reveals in concealing: one of the crudest symptoms of human instinct. In a geographically close, open, earthly, indeterminate, multi-time ecosystem, whispers, inverted creatures, and desert roses alternate.

For Fabbrica Europa 2020, Il Segreto is presented in the form of two solos danced by Annamaria Ajmone and Marta Capaccioli.

Il Segreto is part of the NO RAMA project, conceived and created with Marta Capaccioli, Lucrezia Palandri, Giulia Pastore, Jules Goldsmith, Francesco Cavaliere.

Francesco Cavaliere is known for the sensitivity with which he combines sounds, materials and space, showing a highly particular taste for the most diverse forms of exoticism. His works are capable of enlivening his listeners’ inner states in an imaginative journey populated by ephemeral presences, phenomena generated by glass, minerals and voices recorded using analogue technologies.
