Here we are
Stuck by this river
You and I
Underneath a sky that’s ever falling down, down, down
Ever falling down.

From By This River di Brian Eno

By This River by Brian Eno introduces dancers and spectators to a rarefied atmosphere while the sound of piano and keyboards caress each other, embroidering a harmonious and precious fabric. The song invites a sweet bewilderment to idealise a time without time and a space without boundaries in continuous becoming. Camilla Monga, together with musician Federica Furlani, creates a polyphony of images that are always new and unrepeatable until they create an elsewhere that is outlined minute by minute before the eyes of the spectator. Each musical framework guides the six talented MMCDC dancers, giving each one a few traits that mark their characters, while closely connected actions provoke chain reactions outlining increasingly meditative and ethereal panoramas.
Extended is extended music that seems to have neither a beginning nor an end, it is a reflection on the nature and fragility of man, but also on his ability to evoke a universe, false or real, to create spaces in which one can fall and rise again.
