Choreography and Paolo Alfiero's solo dancing take center stage as dancers and musicians fuse Neapolitan music and flamenco and thus break down geographical borders as they seek a new global Mediterranean style.

Biography

film director

Marco Di Castri

Marco Di Castri (Milan, 1952) fuses his interest in cinema with a special focus on the world of contemporary art. In 1984 this led him to make extensive use of live-action shooting in artistic settings. This experience evolved into the project named Cataloga - a publishing house specialized in video-catalogues about artists, exhibitions and museum. Between 1985 and 1992 this project allowed him to work with internationally famous artists as well as to make the first video-catalogue in Europe, for the Centre C. Pompidou, in 1988. From 1992 to 1996 he worked freelance as director and cinematographer and continued his musical activity with the group Dedalus. Complete retrospectives of the Cataloga films were presented at the Musée National d'Art Moderne (Paris, 1994) and at the Festival of Art Film (Asolo, 1996).
