Ikar, voliamo altissimo was born as a flight of attempts: three minutes for each act of approach that doesn’t seek answers, but rather intertwines presences. Each fragment is a possible encounter, a balloon that appears in the brief moment, in the instant before definition. There is no truer reason than another, nor a higher or more just intention. Everything exists in movement, in the continuous search for oneself without definition.

Ikar is an opportunity: a journey of listening—toward others, toward oneself—where even failure is part of a relationship. An act of courage that is renewed.

Duration 25 minutes
