Blind Mirrors

Blind mirrors is shot entirely inside the ballroom of Palazzo Valguarnera Gangi in Palermo which is characterized by the magnificence of the furnishings that inspired Luchino Visconti for the setting of the dance in the film “Il Gattopardo”. While Visconti had represented the detachment between the old declining aristocracy and the new bourgeoisie of the time, MASBEDO have recreated a scene in which the protagonist is a typical dance (Bharatanatyam) of the Tamil community, a minority well rooted in the city of Palermo.
