This is the first performance where Kinkaleri use their choreographic code that adopts a different gesture for each letter of the alphabet. Being the invention of a language, the performance is a direct consequence of the choreographed diction of the text: the choreography itself takes into account the variables of dynamics, intensity, space, sound and speed, and it is treated just like a dramaturgy that considers the metre of the text, its suggestions and the expected set-up on stage. This first experiment led to the identification of formal constituent elements (inside/outside, body, voice, sound, dynamics) that have become the foundation for the following developments and variations.
