00:05It's a great pleasure for me to be here to introduce you to the landmark 20th edition of Biennale Danza,
00:12Time Does Not Exist.
00:13The dazzling physicist Carlo Rovelli, known for his work in quantum gravity and the philosophy of science, argues that time,
00:23as we understand it, does not exist in the conventional sense.
00:27His views challenge the traditional perception of time as a continuous, flowing entity, suggesting instead that time is deeply intertwined
00:38with the fabric of physics and our understanding of the universe.
00:43Rovelli's relational theory views time not as an absolute dimension, but as a relationship between events, emerging from interactions among
00:53systems.
00:53Our perception of time, he argues, is subjective, influenced by cognitive processes, and at the quantum level, the traditional concept
01:04can break down totally.
01:07Time is a product of changing relationships and states, not a fundamental aspect of reality.
01:15And this invites a profound rethinking of how we conceptualize time.
01:21Rovelli's ideas of the non-literarity and multiplicity of time have been at the forefront of my mind as I
01:29immerse myself in the history of the Biennale Danza and its festival,
01:34which will mark its official 20th birthday in 2026.
01:39Systematically and chronologically revisiting the legacy, I reach back into the archives, attempting to rewind and reflect, extracting from the
01:50history the figures, the facts, and the narratives of the past.
