1497

1497 represents the second chapter of the Lost Movement Company dedicated to the figure of Leonardo da Vinci.

The year 1497 marks the moment when Leonardo illustrated and decorated the treatise De Divina Proportione by Luca Pacioli, giving life to his celebrated interweavings: complex, precise, and at the same time organic structures, often regarded as a true “Da Vinci Code” embodying an ideal of formal perfection and universal harmony.

Leonardo’s interweavings, inspired by knots formed from willow branches, become the starting point of the Company’s research. Through the body, the choreography delves into a system of twists and connections that evoke both the complexity of natural structures and the fragility of human relationships.

In 1497, gesture becomes texture: bodies intertwine and support one another, generating dynamic landscapes in which the boundary between individual and environment gradually dissolves. The stage thus becomes a space where the human being is not separate from nature, but an integral part of it, immersed in a continuous process of balance and transformation.
