Records of personal, every day experiences, impressions and discoveries, with special emphasis on the inventory of human movements.

For 2x48 days, daily routines are systematically observed, invented, recorded and forged into an evening of dance theatre.

Work on the choreography of Il*Libro*Mio is at the same time work with Pontorno’s book, his paintings, drawings and frescos.

…”While Pontorno devoted himself with his heart and guts to writing his >journal in time<, his own body re-appeared before his mind’s eye, becoming legible again by virtue of what he had written”.
