This performance is a deep journey into human body revealing its most real and natural aspect. Sylphidarium transforms “La Sylphide” choreography, a romantic ballet that made its first appearance on stage in Paris in 1832. Maria Taglioni, the main character of the show, presents a totally new hybrid version of this classic play which comprises physical exercise, acrobatics, aerobics and muscular strength.
ColletivO CineticO, under Francesca Pennini’s supervision, manages to present a spectacular performance full of music, costumes, smart humor, dramaturgical elements and a highly aesthetic language.
