The evening opens with Rhapsody in Blue by Iratxe Ansa and Igor Bacovich, a playful and vibrant choreography, much like Gershwin’s iconic score. It is followed by An Echo, A Wave by Philippe Kratz, in which the flowing movement of the two dancers evokes the motion of the sea.

Reconciliatio is a delicate female pas de deux inspired by the Book of Revelation, created by one of the most important choreographers on the international scene, Angelin Preljocaj.

The dancers of CCN/Aterballetto are also the protagonists of a production by the award-winning Canadian choreographer Crystal Pite, now firmly in the pantheon of dance. Solo Echo draws inspiration from two sonatas for cello and piano by Johannes Brahms and the poem Lines for Winter by Mark Strand. As in Strand’s poem, Solo Echo invokes winter, music, and the moving body to express something essential about acceptance and loss.
