The Tagadà is a popular Italian amusement ride that emerged in the 1970s, a period when electronic music and synthesizers were revolutionising dance music. 

"I was fascinated by the person who manages to stand in the middle of the ride, effortlessly moving with its rhythm, while everyone else holds tightly to the railings, trying to resist."

In the choreography, Sofia uses the carousel as a metaphor for life and our illusion of control.

Accompanied by Giorgio Moroder's music, reinterpreted by Daft Punk, the dancers embark on a journey through different phases of life. We enter the ride with our own personalities and rhythms, discovering joy through playful encounters and shared experiences. As the journey becomes increasingly unpredictable, we struggle, surrender and eventually turn inward, discovering deeper layers of ourselves and how our encounters with others shape who we become.

It is when we stop trying to control the ride and learn to move with it that we become more aware and open to experiencing life fully.

And when the ride ends, what remains? With a touch of collective irony, TAGADÀ reminds us that, amidst all the chaos, what truly remains are the people with whom we have shared the ride of the Tagadà - The journey of life .
