MicroDanze on tour
Since 2021, CCN/Aterballetto’s MicroDanze have continued to travel across Europe, winning over audiences and critics alike with a format that fuses dance and urban architecture into an immersive, close-up experience.
In summer 2025, MicroDanze will once again take center stage with a tour that opens on June 12 in Edinburgh, as part of the Italia Danza project promoted by the Istituto Italiano di Cultura in Edinburgh to inaugurate the new Italy House venue. Scottish audiences will have the chance to experience four of the most evocative creations in the cycle: A gig by Diego Tortelli, Near Life Experience by Angelin Preljocaj, Eppur si muove by Francesca Lattuada, and Turn the Tide by Roberto Tedesco.
Next, the project will travel to the prestigious Ravenna Festival (June 20), where MicroDanze will once again inhabit the spaces of the Classis Museum, as they did last year. In addition to Shelter by Saul Daniele Ardillo, Platform 02 by Ina Lesnakowski, and Eppur si muove by Francesca Lattuada, audiences will also experience Il Combattimento di Tancredi e Clorinda by Philippe Kratz and Fabio Cherstich, featuring a new cast of performers: Kiran Genzels and Alessia Giacomelli.
The third stop lands on June 29 at the Alhambra in Granada, a site of extraordinary beauty and historical value, as part of the FEX – Festival Extension of Granada. Here too, MicroDanze will resonate with one of the world’s most iconic heritage monuments, reaffirming the project’s mission to make dance a widespread, accessible, and constantly surprising art form.
The performance is presented in collaboration with the Direzione Generale per la Diplomazia Pubblica e Culturale del MAECI and the Istituto Italiano di Cultura in Madrid.
Two performance routes are scheduled (at 8:00 PM and 8:30 PM), guiding audience members from the Plaza de los Aljibes to the Torres Bermejas, passing through the Fundación Rodríguez-Acosta. The MicroDanze featured include An Echo, A Wave by Philippe Kratz, Turn the Tide by Roberto Tedesco, A Gig by Diego Tortelli, Near Life Experience by Angelin Preljocaj, Platform 02 by Ina Lesnakowski, and Eppur si muove by Francesca Lattuada.
The tour concludes in one of the most evocative areas of the Reggio Emilia province. Near the Church of San Bartolomeo in Borzano d’Enza, in the municipality of Canossa, with the Pietra di Bismantova in the background, Aterballetto performs A Gig by Diego Tortelli, Near Life Experience by Angelin Preljocaj, Eppur si muove by Francesca Lattuada, and An Echo, A Wave by Philippe Kratz.
The performance, scheduled for July 10, is part of the Entroterre Festival.
Conceived for non-theatrical spaces, the MicroDanze cycle continues to be one of the most distinctive and original expressions of our artistic journey—a choreographic collection in constant evolution, bringing dance beyond traditional stages and closer to audiences, wherever they may be.
