A film about Love and dance, Love Sonnet couples together seven sonnets signed by those who dance them.
Sonnets where words are swapped for movement.
Sonnets whose rhythms embrace Scarlatti’s sonatas for harpsichord and traditional aria from Southern Italy.
Sonnets where rhymes, numbers and verbal colours seek consonance with what can be seen as a cinematographic melodic line.
It can suffer it self, but not know it self, It can cover it self, but not obtain it self, The soul that, in movement can see it self. Cannot in the defunct tranquillity find Beauty, who is the fire in movement, And living it cannot be assuraged
