On the motionless nights of the Karst summer, a call crosses the dark: keu… keu… The scops owl sings, hidden among branches, revealing itself only through its voice. From this image, Compagnia Bellanda shapes a visceral duet on love’s fragile threshold—between desire and control, tenderness and aggression, guidance and surrender. Rooted in breaking and evolving into intimate partnering, the choreography entwines bodies, breath, and stripped language. Sound is amplified, fractured, returned as memory. Suspended between choice and destiny, the performers inhabit a space where empathy resists rupture, and a single word may alter two lives.

Il Canto dell'assiolo will be performing at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe 2026,
the world’s largest performing arts festival, which transforms the city into a vast open-air stage every year, featuring thousands of theatre, dance, music and performance shows, and welcoming emerging and established artists from all over the world.

After all, we are all, simply and without distinction, flesh.
What gives value to and ennobles that piece of flesh? And which carries more weight? The flesh or the ‘meaning’?
What value do these 50kg of ‘body’ hold when nothing makes sense anymore?
