The Festival opens with DéRIVES of the French ILOTOPIE, a poetic and visionary show that runs along the Arno, from Ponte alle Grazie, to Ponte Vecchio, to Ponte Santa Trinita: 100 transparent silhouettes descend the river, waving luminous chimeras, traces of disembodied bodies, souls carried by the current; an entire people flows, as if moved by a spell entrusted to the water and the breath of the wind, illuminating the night of Florence.
Opening the festival, on the waters of the Arno, the French ilotopie with DéRives – Un spectacle fluvial emporté par le courant: guided by a galoubet player, a people of 100 transparent silhouettes descend the river, inhabiting it as swaying luminous chimeras or souls carried by the current (2/09).

A journey into different territories, an invitation to perceive the flows of an action that brings together different cultures in a multifaceted choreographic device (PARC, 4- 5/09).
