Adi Da's art with the Palazzo Vecchio in the background (click picture for enlargement) An idea took shape associated with the great international artist Adi Da Samraj after a meeting with Richard Quinn of Da Plastique, the company with the mandate to promote the work of the artist. Together with the art critic Giuliano Serafini, who in the past was instrumental in associating our dance with the art of Adi Da, we selected from the vast repertoire of the artist four works that beautifully complement the requirements of the Ballet. The current title of the ballet, "Four Seasons", reflects this juxtaposition between plasticity and movement, visual art and music. Keith Ferrone, artistic director, Florence Dance Company Adi Da’s art shines with joy. The colors are so bright and happy, it is wonderful to dance to His art.
