Adagio © Umberto Favretto
An adagio by Mahler, Beethoven, Mozart, Rachmaninov, Bruckner, Bach and then largo and adagietto… When I am dancing an adagio, my body melts and my heart is floating in space to dissolve into nothingness. The words slowly evaporate and when even reality and the thoughts go away, I feel like I am living life and death. Saburo Teshigawara.
