“I wandered lonely like a cloud” is the beginning of one of the most famous poems of English romanticism written at the beginning of the nineteenth century by William Wordsworth. In this new creation by choreographer Matteo Bittante, co-director and resident artist of the National Centre for Dance Production, DANCEHAUSpiù, the poet’s verses form the backdrop to the bucolic and wandering rite of the three dancers in which the vital force and idyllic quiet of nature contrast with the upheavals and confusion of the city. In the poetry, as in the show, the real protagonists are not the men but the elements of nature such as the lake, the narcissus or the clouds with which the bodies of the dancers try a possible metamorphosis.

Notes of the choreographer
I lived my childhood on a hill, in the middle of nature, running from one meadow to another, climbing the trees, I was always in constant contact, almost symbiotic with her.
Since ancient times, the countryside and rural life have served as a source of inspiration for many artists.
An idyllic place of escape, a refuge from the duties of life, once for the exploration of the self.
A landscape of the soul, today to be defended and protected against the ideologies of an era that contaminate and desertify Mother Earth.

Matteo Bittante
