Creative act with therapeutic value: Old stones project wants to give attention to the importance of art as a poetic expression of ourselves and as a therapeutic attitude to go deep insied our shadow part of inner souls and emotions. Old stones speaks about people true people, in the calss, during the sessions, and on the stage. With dance theatre we want to give voices to these people, who can tell us their real stories and transform them through creative act. The importance is the concept of transformed identity; the body which changes, and the mind which shortly becomes dofferent, the memories which are always fading, helps to go directly in front of our limits and knowing them we can accept the reality. It's a real mirror for the students, for the public and for the teacher herself.The show give a meaning to go on, and a sence of continuity of time and space, art gives the sence to the existence.
