CATABRISA

2012

Look around you: everything moves. Everything moves everything.
Even breathing moves the air.


Have you ever heard that the breeze you feel on your hair may come from the other side of the world, where a tiny butterfly strikes it's wings? Or it may come from your inner self, from your will?


Maybe this is a story about the wind, because it's with the wind that seeds come and go,
it's with the wind that ideas come and go, and the will to change the world.


A boy, in everything similar to others, lives the biggest adventure ever: the adventure of curiosity, of desire, of discovery, of amaze, of invention, the adventure of who is born and grows with a swirling body and soul.


From the book Catavento (Weathervane), Catabrisa comes to life as a place of ideas in the shape of sensations, a palce of sensations in the shape of a gesture, a place of gestures in the shape of sound, a map of sounds in the shape of a shadow, a world of shadows in the shape of a story. For all to see, listen, feel and think with the way to see, listen, feel and think of each and single one of us.
