I just came back home after spending three weeks in Munich for the set up and world première of my latest work, skull ark, upturned with no mast. Working on this project taught me more that I could imagine. I did something I had never done before, and I am happy with the result and all the risks I’ve taken.
I want to thank Anna Kubelìk, for building my instrument; Eva G. Alonso, for being absolutely the best light designer of all times, and for the long night shifts; Chris Swithinbank, for solving every problem, and for creating the most magical environment; and the four performers, Emma Iannotta, Karin Hellqvist, Truike van der Poel, and Johanna Zimmer, for being open to realise all my requests — even the craziest ones, like “don’t blink”.
Big shout out also to Laura Martegani and Paolo Mariangeli, for being with us all the time, with their positivity, and hard work.
