White paradise Bianco paradiso lands on the coast of Lebanon.

​

Black hell and Red purgatory were the previous doors that opened from the depths of Palestine to the daily life of the West. Twenty-two young people from Tyre on an imaginary white sheet and three new keywords for the last door of the Trilogia quasi Dantesca, echo, body, air: perceive, see, start again.
White paradise is the echo and the living memory among the ancient ruins.
From a distance a déjà-vu takes shape then suddenly everything disappears. Wave eating wave driving wave coming to shore.
Wave eating wave driving wave coming to shore.
Wave eating wave driving wave coming ashore. A mantra. 

White paradise is the sea that allows us to leave for new routes and be reborn.
