About Lustra
'Lustra' means 'mirrors' in Polish, the mother tongue of the composer Frédéric Chopin. Like the mirroring movements of the pianist's hands as they touch the black and white keys of the piano. Two hands, two dancers, two versions of Chopin's étude in A flat major, also known as the’ Aeolian harp’, arranged in a new sound. A conversation between two women moved by the wind and their inner voices. A poetic study of the flow of life.
