Rome, May 14 - (Adnkronos) - Michael Galasso meets the great Italian dance at the Venice Biennale. The famous composer and musician of world fame (he has made recently to film the beautiful soundtrack of Wong Kar-Wai's''In the Mood for Love''and the Guggenheim Museum in New York sound installation for the exhibition Giorgio Armani) debuts the world premiere on July 4 at the Venice Biennale with a performance signed by the young choreographer and director Milan Laura Balis Sconta Court for his group.

''An important meeting, perhaps decisive for my career, a wonderful coincidence, explains Laura Balis, which on Wednesday 'next will be' in Rome at the Teatro Vessel with his latest show, 'Tell me I'm bella'-I loved her deeply music in the film by Wong Kar-Wai. It 'was Carolyn Carlson, director of the Dance Biennial in Venice that has thought of this unique tandem. Michael Galasso and 'come to know the dancers, he saw excerpts of some of my shows, we talked a lot together-I wanted to add the Balis-influenced ... Before he began to write the score.''

Environments timeless, mysterious galaxies and meteor exploding suddenly, Big Ben, original ... (Assigned to the surreal scenery inspired Joseph Gaudin). Laura Balis confesses that she felt particularly attracted by the music of Galasso. The ''my dance-explains-Attraction, primordial polarity between 'opposing chase and fight. Gestures' primitive, lyrical, sensual 'instinctual'. Within a space built with dark brick (Arsenal) where everything will be 'played in a vacuum and choreographed horse ever lit at times by flashes of light and dance.''
