Contravènto
Contravènto
A play against the wind on the hill, where every day the sky is different, the landscape changes with the seasons, the light transforms at every moment and changes the perception of things.
Just as life is a journey full of difficulties but also of beauty, so Contravènto was born out of our stubbornness to stand, against the wind, on a difficult but extremely beautiful land that we have chosen to work with passion and determination, staying here looking at the lake while remembering our roots and thinking about the future.
