SENTIMENTAL POLIGONO is a happening that takes place inside the 50 m shooting range of the historic Società del Tiro a Segno, founded in 1859 in the Parco delle Cascine in Florence where it is still based.

This unexpected place, a geometric space of boundaries and precision, becomes the habitat of a bodily and emotional exploration. The performance is an invitation to slow down, observe and feel the bodies immersed in an expressive wave that passes through the environment and those who observe it, like a like a flickering glimmer, a sweet stillness, a wish for innocence.

The spectator is actively involved in the observation, is invited to take aim, like a shooter with the target, until the moment when the gesture becomes vibrant. The shooting range, usually a space of control, transforms into a field of emotional resonance and affective intensity, a pure passion!
