Two dancers come on stage, undress and melt into an embrace; this opening is the prelude to a choreographic coupling: two nude bodies bathed in light, with no musical accompaniment other than the sound of their breathing and the audible dialogue of their skin. Art that is an assault on the senses, examining the human condition through its most intimate secret, "Libido sciendi" is a veritable treatise on erotic desire, with the poetry of the body placed at the service of dance.
