Italia Danza – Oslo
From Sofia to Madrid, passing through Oslo and Cologne: this is the second phase of Italy Dance, on stage from April 27th to May 24th, 2024.
A cosmopolitan project, entrusted to the universal language of the body, desired by the General Directorate for Public and Cultural Diplomacy of the Farnesina, and interpreted by CCN/Aterballetto thanks to its rich heritage of site-specific creations. A contemporary repertoire that includes MicroDances (short creations for confined spaces, signed by Italian and international choreographers), but also stage performances revisited for the occasion, so that they can be presented anywhere.
Italian Cultural Institute of Oslo, May 3-4, 2024
On the occasion of the exhibition Every Return is Awaited featuring bronze sculptures by artist Davide Rivalta in the park of the Royal Palace of Oscarshall, open from May 3rd to September 15th, 2024, the IIC of Oslo presents, in collaboration with the Norwegian Royal Palace and the Italian Embassy, three MicroDances at the Royal Palace of Oscarshall. All three MicroDances will be performed on the occasion of the official opening of the exhibition on May 3rd, and on May 4th during the three guided tours at 11:00 AM, 1:00 PM, and 3:00 PM.
“This year in Oslo, we intended to combine two fields of Italian contemporary art, the sculptures by Davide Rivalta from Bologna, which will be exhibited all summer in the royal residence of Oscarshall, and the choreographies of Aterballetto, which will be performed during the inauguration of the exhibition in the fairy-tale garden of the palace, desired in the 1800s by Queen Joséphine, Princess of Bologna.
We hope that this mix creates a unique opportunity to present to Queen Sonja of Norway and the Norwegian public a glimpse of contemporary Italian creativity and savoir faire.”
Stefano Nicoletti
Ambassador of Italy to Oslo
“Aterballetto’s performances in Oslo shape up as a precious artistic moment within the inaugural days of Davide Rivalta’s exhibition. An initiative of high institutional profile and a splendid setting to celebrate the cultural relations between Italy and Norway, following President Mattarella’s State visit in 2023. The MicroDances selected for this occasion will accompany the public in discovering the spaces of the Oscarshall Residence and Rivalta’s works, in an unprecedented event in the sign of contemporary Italian creativity.”

STORIE
Aterballetto performs Stories at the Civic Theater in Vercelli as part of the We Speak Dance festival.
Tortelli creates two pieces: Prelude, opening the evening, is a love letter to the body for five dancers set to the music of Nick Cave, Another Story is a duet on the impossible gesture of 2020, the hug. Between past and future are the two creations of Kratz. The duo “O” presents two bodies/automatons, forcing us to question how the sense of physical contact might change: will it remain emotional and heartfelt, or become serial and alienated? Alpha Grace, a sextet at the conclusion of the evening, is a reflection on empathy, a gentle form of communication between people who feel on the same level. It too is challenged by the present times.
FORM 0
Visible things can be invisible. If someone rides a horse in a forest, first you see him, then not, but you know he’s there. In The White Signature, the horsewoman hides the trees and the trees hide her in turn. However, our thought includes both, the visible and the invisible. And I use painting to make thought visible.
R. Magritte
The perfect balance of forms can be satisfying… but also unsettling.
Starting from the fascination for symmetry understood as a compositional tool to convey harmony, and from the multiple symbolic meanings of the mirror in the arts, in Form 0, his first female duo, Riccardo Buscarini explores symmetry as a place of disharmony and conflict.
How can a dialogue be possible if we see ourselves while looking at the other?
What happens if similarity leads us to merge into each other and lose our identity?
From a distorted mirror emerges a monstrous image.
A LOT OF / SEHNSUCHT
A LOT OF
In constant search. The need for the other. Avidity for contact, scents, and flavors. Freed from the inhibitory brake of modesty and social conventions, what could happen? Are we all animals? How much can we desire those around us? How much and how many can we love? Two bodies, then one, and suddenly three. Unexpected events and probabilities. Rhythms and rituals that beat, intertwine, and distort. The unnatural grace of Nijinski. The predatory instinct belongs to the human DNA. Marking territory becomes a game, imagining becomes a necessity. How much space do we have in our body, in our mind, and in our soul? How much can we host within ourselves? Hunger.
SEHNSUCHT
Sehnsucht is a key word of the German romantic spirit, embodying a typical concept of romantic culture, rendered in Italian as “longing dependence”. Heidegger, on the other hand, identifies a different meaning, as Sucht is to be understood in its original sense as “pain”: “Nostalgia is the pain of the nearness of the distant”.
Sehnsucht means desiring to reach the limit that separates it from the next, to discover it, to show it, to touch it. Bodies alone but dependent, investigating, in a common space, their limits in relation to the body, space, time, and the other. The dancers enter into a system of movement where each element outlines the coordinates of choreographic scores characterized by unusual directions, accelerations, suspensions, falls, balances, and interruptions of dynamics.
YELED / SECUS
The Aterballetto Company performs at the Lodz Ballet Festival 2024 in Poland, showcasing Yeled by Eyal Dadon and Secus by Ohad Naharin.
YELED – Eyal Dadon
Yeled in Hebrew means child. Can we change ourselves as adults? Can we go back to being children?
“In the process of creation with the dancers, I reflected on the moment in our lives, as adults, when we lost the feeling of being children, the feeling of being naturally pure, and the ability to have clean filters. When was the moment we lost our innocence and why? One of the main keys to the creation is the real things we learned as children and how these things shaped us into the people we are today.” – Eyal Dadon
SECUS – Ohad Naharin
Secus is a creation by Ohad Naharin which boasts a musical collage ranging from the unusual electronic styles of AGF to the seductive Indian melodies of Kaho Naa Pyar Hai to the resonant harmonies of the Beach Boys. This adventurously eclectic mix serves as a fitting backdrop for the boldly extravagant choreography.

Revival Rhapsody
Revival Rhapsody is much more than just a dance workshop; it is an intergenerational experience aimed at expanding the concept of inclusivity and participation through the sharing of stories, times, and different ways of inhabiting a place, all through the language of dance. Revival Rhapsody is a dancing procession that on May 18th at 6:00 PM starts from the Centro Sociale del Gattaglio, crosses the neighborhood, and arrives at Parco del Legno.
The project, promoted and realized by the Centro Coreografico Nazionale / Aterballetto in collaboration with the Comune di Reggio Emilia, Cooperativa Rigenera, and Centro Sociale Gattaglio, financed by European funds from the Emilia-Romagna Region, stems from the natural evolution of Dal liscio al Rave, the workshop that last season involved citizens over 55 and under 25, but for the new edition has opened up to an even wider audience, from 16 years old and up.
Dance becomes the vehicle through which people can express their stories and experiences, transforming the neighborhood into a living stage where generations mix and identities are built and revealed through the movement of the body. This process of revelation and sharing leads to the creation of a nonlinear rhapsodic narrative, gathering pieces of history and personal testimonies.
The creator of this narrative is Lara Guidetti, performer, choreographer, and artistic director of the Sanpapié Company, who led the workshop and brought to life a dancing community starting from folk dancing. The choreographer explains:
“Folk dancing, as a true social ritual, breaks through the boundaries of the ballrooms of Emilia-Romagna and the Temporary Autonomous Zones (TAZ) of raves to include practices typical of different historical moments, regions, and places deposited in collective memory and a tool for mutual knowledge and storytelling. Revival means ‘reviving, rebirth, awakening’: a material deposited within bodies, memories, and imaginaries that, depending on the stage of life one finds themselves in, can be very different, but which is always present in each of us and constitutes a source of comparison, creativity, and intergenerational dialogue. The rhapsody evokes a free and varied composition, built from the set of melodic ideas that focus on a popular and transmissible story. This is the underlying structure of the project, which aims to bring together and give voice to ‘multiple uniquenesses’ within a collective discourse, reflecting inclusion and listening.”
