(in)Edith
(In)Edith is a poetic and symbolic exploration of the essence of Edith Piaf, her passions, and the contrasts that defined her existence. Her music, deeply connected to the era in which she lived, serves as the starting point for an artistic journey into the future.
This work goes beyond merely celebrating her story, it aims to transport the audience into a more universal, abstract, and imaginative world, where the dancers’ movements reflect inner conflicts just as Piaf’s voice once expressed them.
