Conceived by Danièle Desnoyers, artistic director of the company Le Carré des Lombes, theproject brings together the Italian dancers Giulia Cannas, Rachele Montis, and Nunzia Picciallo and the Canadian performers Châtelaine Côté-Rioux, Brontë Poiré-Prest, and Myriam Arseneault.  

Together, they performed a choreographic score set in three distinct locations – the port area of Cagliari, the wild and monumental olive grove of San Sisinnio Park in Villacidro (South Sardinia), and the Nuragic Sanctuary of Santa Cristina in Paulilatino (Oristano) – outdoor spaces steeped in the island’s collective memory.

A poetic dialogue with these diverse spaces, Les Scénographies-Paysages en Sardaigne took the form of wandering tours, accompanied by the singing of Elisa Zedda, fed by local culture and legends, moving nimbly between the remains of time and the presence of the living.
