Exploring the limits. Not stopping at what is known or appears to be so. Going beyond.

The Universe in your head springs from the lucky meeting between Daniele Ninarello, Cristina Donà and Saverio Lanza, which occurred during the project Perpendicolare. Perpendicolare. The performance further develops the search into a mixture of performance languages, working on the movements of the choreographer and dancer Daniele Ninarello and the compositions by the singer/songwriter Cristina Donà together with the composer and visual artist Saverio Lanza. 

The Universe in your head mixes new and repertory pieces, scores and choreographic constellations. The sense of gravity of dance is the engine, drawing over the stage space, through movements and rotations of the body which create a combination of rhythmic cells towards a perpetual wave after wave of the creative flow. Cristina Donà’s most fascinating songs - for example Universo, The sense of things, Triathlon -together with evocative grafts such as Across the Universe Across The Universe by the Beatles give the flavour of an original constellation where one can lose oneself, observe and rediscover oneself in a continual relationship between the infiniteness. of the cosmos and human being. The notes of the composition shine in the dance and are reflected in a perfect and vital balance between the intimate register and the cathartic emotivity of rock.
