Danza in Fonderia in novembrer

From Dance Week to The Nutcracker: this November, Danza in Fonderia in Reggio Emilia becomes a true anthology of choreography.

In November, Danza in Fonderia reaches its core — the festival curated by the Centro Coreografico Nazionale / Aterballetto and dedicated to the theme Anthologies. New readings of the body: a journey that brings together diverse experiences, languages, and visions to create a multifaceted perspective on dance — from classical repertoire to contemporary creation.

After Dance Week (6–11 November), when audiences can enjoy the latest acclaimed works by CCN/Aterballetto, the program continues with four major events that weave together history, innovation, and new perspectives on the body on stage.

Maguy Marin: two masterpieces of the contemporary repertoire

Thursday, 13 November – 8:30 PM

MM Contemporary Dance Company presents Duo d’Eden and Grosse Fugue by Maguy Marin — two masterpieces of the contemporary repertoire created by one of France’s greatest choreographers. With these works, the company directed by Michele Merola received the Danza&Danza Award for its commitment to preserving and promoting choreographic heritage.

The evening will open with an introduction on Maguy Marin’s work by Valeria Crippa, journalist, dance and theatre critic, and founder of the web magazine WeDance.

Serata d’autore (choreographers’ evening) with an italian flair

Friday, 21 November – 8:30 PM

From Florence comes the Opus Ballet Company directed by Rosanna Brocanello, making its Fonderia debut with Serata d’Autore (Choreographers’ Evening) — a triptych uniting works by Roberto Tedesco, Adriano Bolognino, and Giovanni Insaudo, three Italian choreographers who, in different years, have each won the Danza&Danza Award for Best Emerging Choreographer.

Beyond the myth of the Sibyl

Wednesday, 26 November – 8:30 PM

The Neapolitan company ArtGarageDanceCo brings to the stage Il Mare che ci Unisce (The Sea That Unites Us), a choreography by Emma Cianchi for four dancers — a reflection on the myth of the Cumaean Sibyl, a prophetic figure who becomes a bridge between past and present, body and destiny.
