To Italo Calvino.

As in the orbit of a celestial body, this work presents a construction that tends to repeat itself indefinitely. The dancers in a circle gather and separate incessantly. Where very complicated dynamic figures come together, as in the art of making knots. They intertwine in a single body, which turns and turns to let emerge now a figuration of telluric and wild grain, now of rarefied, tenuous, discontinuous forms, which even fly, like fairies.
