AQUABOLL
A big screen welcomes the audience with background music. As soon as someone approaches, AquaBoll start drawing the outlines of the audience, in a continuous overlapping forms. The colors are taken from seawater and alternating with white lines reminiscent of the surf. It 'a continuous floating in colors and shapes that evoke the natural relationship between man and water. The gestures of the spectators are then accompanied by the sound of the waves, the intensity of which depends upon the movements, giving the illusion that these trails of color are precisely the waves of the sea.
The sound, the colors, its unpredictability, its poetry and its reality to live with and protect, WATER.
“ Water is element of life. Water is matrix, mother and medium. There is no life without water.”
