And we are like fruits (Und wie Früchte sind wir ) is a sen-tence from Rilke’s ‘Notizen zur Melodie der Dinge’. In this work, the poet speaks about the cyclicity that connects humans and the Earth.
This vision is at the basis of the formal structure of my piece. Each presented event is cyclic and it returns to the starting point before proceeding seamlessly to the next. In the end of the work there is a combination and amalgamation of the previous moments.
