CCN/Aterballetto performs at Teatro Valli in Reggio Emilia for Festival Aperto.

The dancers of CCN/Aterballetto take center stage in a production by multi-award-winning Canadian choreographer Crystal Pite, now considered among the greats of contemporary dance. Solo Echo is inspired by two sonatas for cello and piano by Johannes Brahms and by Mark Strand’s poem Lines for Winter. As in Strand’s poem, Solo Echo invokes winter, music, and the moving body to express something essential about acceptance and loss.

Reconciliatio is a delicate female duet inspired by the reading of the Apocalypse, created by one of today’s most important international choreographers, Angelin Preljocaj.

The final piece, Glory Hall, is a new creation by Diego Tortelli, offering the company and the audience a fresco of sensuality and overwhelming vitality.
