La Festa dell’Equatore
An attempt to mend a piece of sky unfurling over an ocean of memories. Solid yet weightless, images float, carrying fragments of stories and cultures in constant motion. La Festa dell’Equatore is an initiatory journey, a crossing of boundaries, an invitation to immerse oneself in a continuous flow of transformations. An intimate fresco of a distant past, of family stories intertwined with contemporary narratives.
At the same time, it becomes a metaphor for humanity’s search for a meeting point that turns out to be that imaginary line which simultaneously divides and unites, creating family constellations from one hemisphere to another. Past and present, reality and dream merge, projecting us towards a future yet to be written, while stars sing from the deep blue of eternity to the soul of the Ocean.
