Exodus is the name of the ship that brought Jews to Palestine in 1947.
The biblical exodus returns in Jewish history as a cyclical recurrence and represents the universal theme of immigration. Being a migrant today is like living the exodus of two thousand years ago. Emiliano Pellisari and Mariana Porceddu (known artistically as MARIANA/P) embark together on a new initiatory journey, traversing with their dancers deserts that die on the shore, storms of the soul, and shipwrecks of the spirit. It is the Mediterranean, where our culture sinks or floats, a water that, for us, is an ancient baptism.

A performance that ties into Ecclesiastes, Jonah, the terrible force of the sea, the violence of our nature, and the first exodus in history: the long journey of the Jews, the damnation of the Christian spirit, and the land where Muslims also live.
A journey of suspended souls, of tough stock, born in the drylands, who, driven from their land, chase the scent of salt. The dancer-acrobats of Nogravity will enchant us with a sequence of images that, evoking our roots, tell a timeless story, a time that belongs to us even today, perhaps even more than ever.

Weightless souls glide lightly over the earth, light as the unconsciousness that abandoned them, heavy as only guilt and sin can be.

A 1-hour work of sculptural and illusionistic dance that draws from the images of the dancers’ bodies the great Christian tradition of Renaissance art, merging with the Mediterranean music of Jordi Savall, accompanied by the Jewish voice of the great artist Moni Ovadia.
