PLAYGROUND stems from the experience of playing outdoors, alone and with other people who were key companions in LIFE. The playground as something transcendent, an intellectual, emotional, sensorial and physical HUMAN LEGACY, which remains engraved in us and intersects the generational crosscutting and the purpose that gives it life—PLAYING. And the dance that comes from playing, and the playing that becomes dance. That undefinable playing that, visible and invisible at once, does not come to an end and does not bore, because it is always a place to be. To be what it is, to be discovery, to be challenge. In a constant dynamic, one seeks an absurdly PRESENT state, in which the notions of both child and adult no longer have any relevance.
