In this creation we are looking for the encounter, the togetherness, the reciprocal relationship that arises through direct or indirect contact between two or more people, the sum of what happens between people in action and reaction.We explore different ways of connecting with other persons, discovering the relationship and different kinds of (in)touch and how much is implied.

We try to grasp the complexity of human relationship that takes place at the level of our physicality and emotions, focusing on the notions of sensuality, touch, closeness and distance and the emotions that are evoked by them. And on a movement vocabulary that is not oriented towards perfection, but towards the rough edges, the imperfect.

We want to offer the audience the opportunity to explore, shape or build their own individual relationship to different experiences.

The famous singer Francesco Rasi, who had sung the title role in Monteverdi’s Orfeo in Mantua, came to the Salzburg court in 1612 and had dedicated the musical manuscript Musiche da camera e chiesa to Archbishop Markus Sittikus, who was passionately devoted to theatre and music. The first musical performance in the Stone Theatre, a pastoral, took place in 1617.
