Who is Aspasia and who was Aspasia of Mileto?

Aspasia appeared to me on the stage of Goldoni theatre while performing ' Canti di Alleanza' by Virgilio Sieni. The woman in vigorous curly white hair approached me to couple for a frequency of movements with legs and arms which would signify a profound alliance between us. She evoked me her name , asking me to remember who was Aspasia in ancient Athen. I had a feeling of knowing who Aspasia was , but I could not recall ,and she, enlightened me. We kept on performing that sequence of repetitive movements together. 

Then I saw her dancing with Virgilio, who to my eyes seems to be Socrates of the second millennium . Hence Socrates , dancing with Aspasia was one moment of Elysium for me,,,,,

 

In ' Canti di Alleanza' I also got to know Elisabetta, a beautiful curlied red hair woman, with very bright blue eyes, from Emilia Romagna but living in Tuscany. She is always in company of another beautiful one from the white hair , tall height and with a nice posture. 

And then the posture of La Giulia, which is from Sardinia but deeply and stubbornly Florentine. You can perceive it from her way of posturing and staying in the central focus even when she is not. She entangles a movable energy which pushes you pose your energy in lights and only very authentic spots. I guess, to feel part of this country, of this Tuscany which is so deeply poetic and which sings the beauty. Tuscany inspires me the serendipity of my soul, the green . 

 

Canti di Alleanza is an artistic residency which involves the participation of artists, namely dancers along with  common ordinary Livornese women, the latter ones  happen to be the dancers of the city in this context. In this fusion between the two categories,  the professional and the  ordinary, there is a profound sense of symbiosis which leads to  a peripheral gaze. It is a dance with canti which follows the ordinary of  women life in history while crafting together a space for a new semantic to emerge. The significance is untangling deeper day by day.., It is a recognition of what was , is , and what can otherwise be.

Violence in general and especially towards women ,  discrimination and hate, needs to be fought not with the same , but imagining  diverse shades of semantic.
