Dell'amore oscuro

Drawing inspiration from Federico García Lorca’s Sonetos del Amor Oscuro — visceral verses written in 1935 for Juan Ramírez de Lucas and long shrouded in secrecy — Dell’amore oscuro entwines poetry, music, and dance to evoke the profound resonance of an absolute, all-consuming emotion. The performance is the result of a transdisciplinary process in which the text serves as the bedrock for a fluid dialogue between artistic languages, devoid of any predefined hierarchy. On stage, a live string quartet, an actor, and a dancer embody the searing intensity of the sonnets: six bodies, guided by their respective disciplines, interact to breathe life into the immediacy and intimacy of Lorca’s words. These are radical love poems that speak to anyone who has ever navigated the abyss of passion. Marking its world premiere, Dell’amore oscuro stands as an ode to the freedom of emotion: a journey through the scarred and radiant beauty of a boundless love.

The performance is in Italian. German subtitles are available on request.
