DELIRIOUS TENDERNESS

Concept, idea, choreography, and dance by Claudio Pisa

If for a mother pregnancy and childbirth are an unforgettable and deeply engaging experience, as they are lived firsthand, the birth of a child is also an exceptional event for the father. However, he often only realizes how wonderful this moment is later, when he sees his child. This is what happened to me, and the story I want to tell is mine, my emotions, and my joys.

I cried when he was born, overwhelmed with joy at seeing him—small, fragile, tired… but you fall in love immediately. There was the fear of touching him for the first time, so small and delicate, but then little by little, you gather your courage and begin to stroke him, to hold him in your arms, and to rock him. Then come the games, the laughter, the chasing… the joy of being together, of being a family.

Why be ordinary alone when you can be extraordinary together?
