LA PETITE MORT, a short piece on the theme of death and its rituals, is a duet by two sisters. They are the eternal guests in a Venetian hotel. The city is sinking and the water is rising, Venice is perishing. The hotel is just a matter of time, it is eroded by damp and about to collapse. The inevitable fate of the city seems to run disastrously parallel with the life of the two sisters.
