A dark cave, a pianist in the centre and the discovery of a luminous soundscape. Pedra Dura festival invited the local pianist Sara Pissarro to concentrate on Café Müller, an emblematic masterpiece in the history of contemporary dance, and revisit Purcell’s opera Dido and Aeneas, to which this dance piece is set. An immersive concert emerges that connects the public with the sound of the piano to carry us to a non-place that invites us to watch an invisible dance and start a relationship of the body with an instrument. Where does a body end? Does it actually end?
