Retreating inside its shell, into itself, isolated from its environment for an indefinite time; re-living nothing every day. Is something secretly happening? Is something small emerging, whose body only grows wings after countless metamorphoses? Does the quarantine enable the creation of artistic products that would not have been created at all within the social bustle? The “Crisalide” – the pupa before it becomes a butterfly – has many parallels with the conceptual phase of any creative process, as does the uncomfortable but potentially fertile state of a quarantine: Lots of things happen, but you see absolutely nothing! Giovanni Insaudo made his “quarantine” fruitful and created a poetic choreography based on this comparison, showing how such an invisible metamorphosis, like that which a butterfly pupa undergoes, can be represented on the body of a dancer.
