Amulets

Are my emotions only mine?

Or are they also a kind of inheritance, passed on through my genes?

If I have been an egg inside my mother when she was an embryo inside my grandmother, does it means that we have been one body?

Amulets is a dance-trio with objects in which we wonder about those and similar questions through imaginary conversation with my grandmother Giorgina about life, love and rage. The conversations take different forms: they are dances, objects, sounds and words, reaching through generations to find the intersections of our stories.
