Private Project

Fresh oranges into the ocean

While merging and intertwining with nature, three young girls create a metaphorical and visionary narrative of their present condition and their projections towards the future.
Through their lightness, disorientation, vitality and strength, they embark on an choreographic journey facing high and low tides, turbulence and contradictions, calm and turmoil. Guided by absurd questions the oranges reflect the path of the protagonists in their delicate passage to adulthood and guide us in a poetic reflection on our lives.
