The Compagnia Bellanda was founded in 2012 by dancer and choreographer Giovanni Leonarduzzi, (Gava), to search for an original and personal evolution of breakdance, through a research that from its urban roots moves towards contemporary dance.

What is the boundary between fairytale and lie? Profumo d'acacia is an illusion, a marvellous lie in a place and time that have very little that is magical about them. Profumo d'acacia draws on tradition. Texts, music and dance are the result of an interweaving of traditional elements and contemporary visions. The choreographic score is accompanied live by musicians who draw on and rework traditional music from Friuli and Alta Resia. Popular festive dances are interwoven with a movement whose matrix is breakdance, a dance born, created and experienced by young people. Young people are also the protagonists of this tale, energetic souls, constantly hovering between celebration and mourning. Between euphoria and decadence.
