The violinist performs Salvatore Sciarrino's score on stage, right next to the dancer. The dance is not set to the music in a traditional way, step by step and measure by measure. It changes from one instant to the next, juggling the dancer’s moves, the violinist’s gestures, the tapping of shoes and whispering of strings. Moments is an intimate, rhapsodic duet for a violinist and a dancer.
