Primavera Siciliana (Sicilian Spring) - During Spring time images of the past come to mind. One starts thinking about how the present is dominated by its past and this subsequently this alters ones thoughts. Given this inner power the old personalities in one start to relive while dancing.

In this piece the dance is characterised by the use of a two -faced mask that symbolises the various personalities.
