Every living thing has an active principle.
This is called the material energy.
It’s related to the air element.
氣or Qi is action, movement and breath.
And it’s found in many cultures.
In ancient Greece it’s similar to pneuma. In Hindu religion it’s mana.
In Tibetan Buddhism is related to the concept of lüng.
氣 was produced in a glimpse of the energy flow.
The performative video is an improvisational choreography made with pure intention as a glimpse of lightness.
This force connected us and the powerful relation between body and music created the movement life-process: always present and transforming the future.
