Inspired by Dadaists, Stand still you ever-moving spheres of heaven unrolls a long white linoleum. On it, two figures speak in a language that belongs only to them, in a space-time that eludes us. In this minimalist microcosm of fantasy in motion, their hands become hand-objects, hand-masks or hand-prostheses. Charged with surreal spurts, Chiara Taviani and Henrique Furtado’s duet awakens the imagination.
