A female odyssey. A woman travels from one Mediterranean island to another in search of a loved one who has disappeared. A phantom accompanies her in a dance which brings her closer to an awareness of a definitive absence.
“Conventionally, Eugenio Barba is a theatre director […] Magic is necessary and the master takes the wand. What strange ritual is he performing? What alchemy is taking place? What are the signs he’s tracing in the air? It’s actually a transformation, we feel it, but it’s impossible to know its nature, it’s almost an alchemical transformation. Sacerdot, mage or mere illusionist, that gentleman imbued with a mysterious power is performing for us the miracle of an ancient ritual, which renews itself every time.” (Antonio Tabucchi)
