An aria from Gaetano Donizetti's opera Lucia di Lammermoor, made legendary by the interpretation of Maria Callas. The stage is dark. Maria Callas enters after her makeup is applied. A being with an extraordinary face, enormous eyes, and high cheekbones. La divina — strong on the outside, fragile within. Her costume is striking and elegant; her every movement becomes music, a melody of labdanum, vanilla, and falling powder.

Pier Paolo Pasolini described this woman as "eternal, archaic, and mythical", one who made the theater her sanctuary — a place where only art is allowed to exist. The madness of opium, tonka bean, and fir balsam forms the foundation of this olfactory sculpture. And on every face appears helplessness, a dull ache, a sharp pain — melancholy from a peach heart that warms in solitude.

Madness here is almost a perfect world, made of fractures that inevitably leave scars in the shape of fragrant lily of the valley. A moment suspended — when you're on stage, yet longing to disappear into a dark building, waiting to be warmed by nothing but yourself and your own life.
