Kiss me good night
Katarzyna Gdaniec and Marco Cantalupo attempted to venture into a sunless world, providing a non-judgemental view of those who inhabit the night, be they seductive or disquieting. Kiss me good night â the goodnight kiss we seek since childhood to reassure us â takes on the nocturnal world, its characters and its mechanisms, through a disenchanted (and danced) glance at carnal desire. What happens within us during the night? What are we looking for? Do we get lost in its midst or do we fulfil our needs?â
