I stumbled over “La Boheme" by Charles Aznavour, in the pre-selected music list for the performance “Fireworks” by Gauthier Dance and I choose it as I felt it encapsulates moments of intense nostalgia, love, the fleeting nature of youth, dreams and the inevitable passage of time.

Artists channel their life experiences into their work, creating a resonance that allows audiences to feel the weight of those emotions… The life of an artist is often a rich tapestry woven with deep emotions and experiences, a real balance between chaos and order.

The flavours of their art reflect their journeys—full of highs and lows, triumphs and failures—making each creation a heartfelt exploration of the human experience. Each note, movement or brushstroke carries the essence of what they have lived, making their work both personal and universally relatable. It’s this intensity that creates an impact and connects us all.

As an international choreographer from Italy, choosing the Italian version of "La Bohème" feels like a natural extension of my background and cultural heritage. It allows me to connect deeply with the emotional nuances of the language, enriching the storytelling through the choreography. I believe it offers a fresh perspective on this classic piece. Audience might resonate with the cultural context of the performance.
