Opus Ballet Company presents the world premiere of its new “Choreographers’ Evening,” featuring works by Roberto Tedesco, Adriano Bolognino, and Giovanni Insaudo.
The evening is born from the encounter of three choreographers — Adriano Bolognino, Giovanni Insaudo, and Roberto Tedesco — all winners of the Danza&Danza Award. The idea is to bring their creations together in a single program, offering the audience a mosaic of visions that, though distinct in style, engage in a dialogue of intensity and coherence.
Piano-Forte by Roberto Tedesco, set to Chopin’s Nocturnes, explores the tension of opposites — presence and absence, strength and fragility, fall and elevation — revealing how every polarity exists through its counterpart, until it is recomposed into a profound unity.
Behind You by Adriano Bolognino is an intense, dramatic work that evokes winter as an existential condition: a journey through hardship and fear that reshapes our inner boundaries, leading us toward poetic resistance and the possibility of renewal.
The evening concludes with Vespri by Giovanni Insaudo, where Sicilian folklore becomes a field of reflection on the tension between tradition and modernity — a bridge between past and present that transforms collective ritual into contemporary gesture.
Three choreographers, three visions, three languages intertwining roots and modernity, light and shadow, fragility and strength. A journey that turns movement into a mirror of life, offering the audience the energy of a dance that unites the individual and collective poetic experience.
