The Teatro Verdi in Pordenone hosts the Aterballetto Company as part of a series dedicated to the international dance. The evening begins with Yeled by Eyal Dadon, followed by Rhapsody in Blue, the latest production by Iratxe Ansa and Igor Bacovich. The night concludes with Secus, a creation by the Israeli choreographer Ohad Naharin, restaged for the Company in 2019.
YELED – Eyal Dadon
Yeled, a Hebrew word meaning “child,” brings to the stage the reflection that Israeli choreographer Eyal Dadon, together with the dancers of Aterballetto, has undertaken on the moment in life when one loses the innocence of childhood.
RHAPSODY IN BLUE – Iratxe Ansa & Igor Bacovich
«Rhapsody in Blue by George Gershwin holds various attractions for us. It is beautiful music, known but perhaps not so frequently heard by newer generations. Introducing this work to the young audience is a good goal, and it can be a way to provide a less distant and less ‘American’ vision of Gershwin, going beyond the cultural context in which the Rhapsody was created. The Rhapsody will naturally dictate the choreographic work, and the lively, sparkling changes it offers are fantastic to play with.» – Iratxe Ansa & Igor Bacovich
SECUS – Ohad Naharin
Secus is a creation by Ohad Naharin featuring a music collage ranging from the unconventional electronic styles of AGF to the seductive Indian melodies of Kaho Naa Pyar Hai and the resonant harmonies of the Beach Boys. This daringly eclectic mix serves as a fitting backdrop for the boldly extravagant choreography.
