The concept of "in between" dear to Hanna Arendt indicates what stays between two realities, two persons. But it is also related to human voice, to communication. It may mean what unites, but also what separates. I imagined it as an almost physical space, an intermediate space where music happens: you can think about the "in between" between composer and world(s), composer and musicians, musicians and public and so on. 
Space, as in many of my works, is organized according to a precise disposition of the instruments and musicians on stage. It was commissioned and first performed at the Biennale di Venezia 2007, by Divertimento Ensemble dir. Sandro Gorli
