this evening at 20:00 around 50 people waited in a roomin Museo Pecci, Prato, Italy...notes on a piano started playing, and we were allowed to follow the music, entering another room... a white room, a man, Franko B., on a golden shining swing chair and Helen Ottaway on a grand piano, silently all of 50 took their positions as suited them...I sat across him, facing him, as his eyes were innocently inviting all to feel and experience this romantic vision of childhood fantasy and abandon...seconds started running, and my eyes were running on his body as it is the central of this surreal, dreamlike image, then on the swing chair...in the golden shinny surface could see him swing back and forward and music flowed all over and felt my eyes flash back all my years...felt my heart beating to the rythm of his swing...music reassured me made me feel safe even if i heard the squirk sounds of the swing...I knew it was safe to let go...to swing as well looking in his eyes and joining in on the ride, to play, to forget my problems, to let go, or just to have fun - in the same way that children are allowed to, of living.
thank you for sharing
FRANKO B.
