Two dancers embrace. Whirling around, their knees bent almost to the ground, they spin faster and faster. This is the polka chinata, a breathtaking Bolognese courtship dance almost lost to history – now transformed into something contemporary by one of Europe's most daring artists. An Italian spin on love and desire.
