A creature who, resisting, searches for the poetry of her existence, a space between the contrasts that inhabit her inside and out, imagining herself different, imagining herself higher.
Thus she escapes into her own imagination, anchored to the roots of her momentary existence, she aspires to the unique form of the world around her, in the vitality of a young deer, in the stability of a fir tree, in the blissful gaze of an old man, in the toil of work.
The greater love of a place that sometimes seems to give none, comes to life among the sweet and delicate harmonies of mountain songs, recounting them in the nocturnal light of what everything can be.
Duration 50 minutes
Versione without chorus 35 minutes
"Menestrina mette in scena un contrasto affascinante: quello tra gli uomini di montagna, rudi e pratici, e la delicatezza quasi ultraterrena dei loro canti.
[...] È il tentativo di decontestualizzare la tradizione per attraversarla fisicamente, con uno sguardo femminile e contemporaneo.”
