Cuna—an archaic word for “cradle”—is an immersive performance combining contemporary dance and live music, created and performed by the blind dancer and choreographer Giuseppe Comunielo. On stage, a universe of sensations takes shape out of the darkness.

Active on the international stage with numerous leading figures in the dance world—including the Virgilio Sieni Company—Giuseppe Comuniello takes the audience back to a time when the world was made of sounds and vibrations, inviting them to immerse themselves in a dreamlike dimension: gestures and movements give rise to an ephemeral world of the imagination. You can choose closeness or distance, your own way of being involved. The dance, the sound of the harp, the scent, the soft light, time standing still, the seating: everything comes together like a welcoming landscape.
Cuna
is a sensory experience in which it is permissible to let go, where public space becomes a refuge, a respite, a place of trust. Here, the rocking motion is experienced firsthand. And the breath, little by little, becomes shared.
