Euripides Laskaridis
2019-05-29 18:00 - 19:00 | Fonderia, via della Costituzione, 39, Reggio Emilia, 42124, Italy
Defined by critics as burlesque, comic, crazy, explosive and at the same time poetic, the Greek artist Euripides Laskaridis is fascinated by the notions of transformation and ridicule, directly related to the instability that his country is going through, in an attempt to explore the perseverance of humanity in the face of the unknown and the unknown.
The body of the performer, deformed, corrupted in its own form, together with the language and gestures outside of any canon, represents the disharmony of the present society: through dance, the body becomes the instrument through which to convey a message of denunciation of the present society that, although it grows in wealth, services, and new opportunities, presents all its degree of corruption in the constant persistence of social and economic inequalities.
After four intense days of masterclasses with the dancers of the Agora Coaching Project, Euripides Laskaridis meets the public in the Fonderia in an open rehearsal, creating a dialogue between movement and words.
The open rehearsal of Euripides Laskaridis is part of the Return Trip project, supported by the Stavros Niarchos Foundation.
Euripides Laskaridis will be with his Titans in the summer program of the Teatro Sociale of Brescia, partner of the project Return Trip, June 28.

Bach Project
2019-05-31 20:00 - 21:30, 2019-06-01 20:00 - 21:30 | Teatro Regio, Strada Giuseppe Garibaldi, 16/a, Parma, 43121, Italia
Aterballetto dances at the Teatro Regio of Parma Bach Project.
Bach Project is an important step in exploring the relationship between dance and music, between classical composition and its contemporary re-creation.
On stage Sarabande, masterpiece by Jiří Kylián, and Domus Aurea by Diego Tortelli, Italian choreography up-and-comer who, through Bach’s French suite transcribed by Giorgio Colombo Taccani and played live by the Ensemble Sentieri Selvaggi, has created an oneiric architecture made of movement, involving the visual artist Massimo Uberti.
Through its musical dimension the Bach Project thus embodies an intergenerational, open and curious vision of choreographic creation.
This production benefits from the support of Torinodanza Festival/Teatro Stabile di Torino – Teatro Nazionale, Les Halles de Schaerbeek of Bruxelles, Festival MiTo, MILANoLTRE Festival and the partnership of the Theatres of tradition of Region Emilia-Romagna, like the Teatro Regio of Parma.

IF (se) congiunzione dal valore condizionale, ipotetico, potenziale.
Quanti “se” nel nostro pensare e ripensare agli accadimenti passati e in divenire. Quanti “se” nell’ipotizzare le proprie scelte e quanto potenziale contiene questa congiunzione.
In questo breve studio il “se” è osservato come possibilità, come opportunità di scegliere, di percepire il potenziale proprio e di quello che ci circonda.
In una piccola congiunzione, un’occasione, per porsi dei pensieri, per darsi del tempo per trovarsi e trovare.
Un gruppo di ragazzi, tra l’adolescenza e la maturità, in quell’arco della vita così unico e così breve, così violento, potenziale, passionale, vulnerabile, incosciente, creativo e immerso nei “se”.
NOW di Laura Matano
Interpreti: Melissa Bortolotti, Noemi Garofalo, Chiara Riva
Evado dalla realtà, sospendo e sono sospeso.
Sono alla ricerca di qualcosa di diverso. Di piacere o non piacere.
Ascolto, dialogo, condivido. Cerco in linguaggio comune, un arricchimento nella diversità. Cerco di catturare sorprese, crearne memoria per ritrovarmi e ritrovare qualcosa di vero.
Un istante dove il tempo si dilata e posso osservarne le molteplici possibilità, conservarne le tracce da cui attingere per non dover più fuggire.

Hurricanes riflette sul precipizio del nuovo.
La caduta, la perdita, il cambiamento, ti gettano nell’abisso vitale, nel territorio della libertà per il quale non siamo educati o preparati.
La certezza di essere sulla strada e con un orizzonte chiaro, e all’improvviso ti trovi in uno stato di squilibrio davanti al mondo e agli altri, proprio prima della grande caduta.
La vertigine dell’evoluzione sorprendente ti mette dove sei più vulnerabile. Le verità e il terreno su cui calpesti stanno collassando per lasciarti paralizzato e instabile, confrontato con la vita senza abbastanza strumenti, per avvicinarti alla forza che ti trascinerà nel vuoto.
Come sopportare la forza che il cambiamento ti porta?
FRAU di Taulant Shehu

Desideravo creare una coreografia per le donne, per le loro emozioni, le infinite peculiarità che compongono la loro bellezza. Una donna è grazia, potere, sensibilità, in certi momenti distaccata, talvolta addirittura insopportabile, ma ne vale sempre la pena. È irresistibile, amorevole. Direi che è la creazione che più si avvicina a un qualcosa di divino. Il mio scopo è pensare a diverse donne, permettere al pubblico di ricevere delle sensazioni, dei sentimenti attraverso la danza contemporanea, incarnare i colori della loro unicità nel movimento e far sì che ognuno possa portare con sé qualcosa dal loro punto di vista e dal modo in cui le persone lo percepiscono. Mettere tutte queste emozioni nel movimento e nel contatto esprimendo il mondo interiore femminile senza dire una parola, è un’altra forma d’arte.

Wolf / BLISS
2019-07-10 21:00 - 22:00 | Peiraios 260, Ag. Ioannis Rentis, Atene, 182 33, Grecia
Aterballetto dances at the prestigious Athens and Epidaurus Festival.
Wolf/BLISS is the perfect evening to admire the versatility of the 16 dancers of Aterballetto, the only Italian company to have in its repertoire two of the most intense and acclaimed choreographers on the international scene.
In Wolf by Hofesh Shechter we find a sort of wild animality, which sometimes crosses men and sometimes women. Dragged into a mysterious and engaging universe, we are invested with a wave of energy that expresses the strength of a dancing tribe.

From the foggy atmospheres of Wolf we pass to the light of BLISS, a masterpiece by Johan Inger to the notes of Keith Jarrett’s Koln Concert.
BLISS is a dance that emanates happiness and above all life. A joy for the performers, who surrender to the music without any resistance, and for the public, who can admire the maturity and skill of each dancer.

The Wolf/BLISS evening is part of Tempo Forte, an important cultural collaboration between Italy and Greece, created with the support of the Italian Cultural Institute in Athens, the Italian Embassy in Athens and the MiBAC – General Direction of the Performing Arts.

Bach Project
2019-07-16 20:00 - 21:00 | Slovene National Theatre, Župančičeva 1, Ljubljana, 1000, Slovenia
Aterballetto dances at the Festival Ljubljana Bach Project.
Bach Project proposes an important step in the exploration of the relationship between dance and music, between classical composition and its contemporary recreation.
On stage Sarabande, a masterpiece by Jiří Kylián, and Domus Aurea by Diego Tortelli, promise of Italian choreography that, on the French Suites by Bach transcribed by Giorgio Colombo Taccani and played live by the Ensemble Sentieri selvaggi, has created a dreamlike architecture of movement, involving the visual artist Massimo Uberti.
Bach Project thus allows us to affirm – around a musical dimension – an intergenerational, open and curious vision of choreographic creation.
This production avails itself of the partnership of Torinodanza Festival/Teatro Stabile di Torino – Teatro Nazionale, Les Halles de Schaerbeek di Bruxelles, Festival MiTo, MILANoLTRE Festival and of the collaboration of Teatri di tradizione dell’Emilia-Romagna.

MM Contemporary Dance Company
2019-07-21 21:30 - 23:00 | Chiostri San Pietro, via Emilia San Pietro 44, Reggio Emilia, 42121, Italia
The MM Contemporary Dance Company dances two great titles of the musical repertoire. Emanuele Soavi‘s Carmen immerses us in the plot made up of subtle relationships and tensions of Bizet’s famous work. Michele Merola confronted the obsessive and repetitive music of Bolero, staging the variety of moods that circulate around and within the couple’s relationship.
The evening is part of Danza at Chiostri, by the Fondazione Nazionale della Danza / Aterballetto for the billboard of REstate 2019.

Carmen
Carmen Sweet is an exclusive creation by Emanuele Soavi for the MM Contemporary Dance Company, conceived taking into account the composer’s original intention to create an opera-comique: this is how Georges Bizet defined his Carmen, presented in Paris in 1875.
In this work, drawing inspiration from and revisiting the traces of the legendary plot, the action, deliberately permeated with irony and sarcasm, begins in the arena where Carmen, Micaela, Frasquita, Mercédès, Don José, Zuniga, Escamillo give free rein to their emotions. Thus giving space to the strong technical and theatrical virtuosity of the performers on stage, Soavi plunges us dramaturgically into that plot made up of subtle relationships, balances and embroideries, between tension and suspension, where movements and gestures must be read beyond the apparent elegance that is over the top. All accompanied by the famous notes of Bizet, sometimes interrupted by the songs of the singing group Los Panchos, in whose texts antagonism, jealousy and desire are the omnipresent subjects.
In Seville’s Plaza de Toros, the characters meet for the day of the bullfight. Everyone is waiting for Escamillo, the Escamillo who believes that Carmen is her own and does not care about the warnings of Mercedes and Frasquita. Covered in dust, confused in their vices, the characters, like a group of histrions, stage Carmen’s passion in the metaphysical square of the stage.
Sarcastic and bizarre in their gestures and movements, these comedians try to avoid the perennial clash between Don José and Toreador, while Micaela, alone in the shadows, hides and shows herself, trying to steal their hearts and their attention in vain. But Don José is soon around. Ignoring her friends’ advice, Carmen meets him and José begs her to come back with him. José threatens the contemptuous rejections and, while the crowd applauds Escamillo victorious, blinded by anger, José kills Carmen.
In this moving fiction, a story is revealed to the public that can be true and not just imaginary, made of physical beauty expressed by the bodies of the dancers, where the narrative of the scenes is marked by the relationships between the senses, which repeatedly ignite with passion the protagonists on stage.

Bolero
Bolero (1928) is still one of the best-known and most listened to pieces in the history of music. In creating a new choreographic version of Bolero, Michele Merola confronted himself with this obsessive and repetitive music, trying to understand its identity, reason and function: at the end of this path, the choreographer’s inspiration focused on the inexhaustible range of human relationships, in particular those of couples, within which we often record the reciprocal and irreconcilable distances between men and women, that “transparent wall” that divides them. Thus, in the different shades assumed by the dance, the choreography declines the variety of moods that “circulate” around and within the couple relationship.
Stefano Corrias intervened on this same music, with the “license” and inventiveness that are the true sign of every artist. As a refined and expert composer, Corrias has created his own musical score, freely inspired by the original version of Ravel’s piece. The new score was composed by carefully analyzing the pages of Bolero, and integrates perfectly with it, placing itself in three different moments. Within the choreographic writing, the three fragments underline the most intimate, and truest, moments of each of us, when we are far from the looks of others, and far from the deafening noise of the world.
In Merola’s version, Bolero is therefore described as a non-history, fantastic but possible, however pertinent to the real world. From the allusive initial drum strokes to the final “explosion” of the entire orchestra, the dance, in close symbiosis with the music, conveys a sort of abstract “bitter fairy tale”, an allegory of the pain of living and misunderstanding between human beings. Thus Bolero becomes a metaphor for our existence, caught in the double tracks that each of us experiences during our lives, between contrast and dialogue, seduction and disillusionment, surprise and bewilderment.

Abiectio - "O" - BLISS
2019-07-23 21:30 - 23:00
The Fondazione Nazionale della Danza / Aterballetto closes its 2018-2019 season in the renovated Chiostri di San Pietro in Reggio Emilia.
Abiectio by Damiano Artale is an engaging duet on the notes of the Passion of Bach and the Requiem Pies Jesus by Fauré. Followed by “O” by Philippe Kratz, choreography from the unstoppable rhythm awarded at the prestigious competition in Hanover 2018. BLISS, a masterpiece by Johan Inger to the notes of Keith Jarrett’s Koln Concert, is a dance that emanates happiness and above all life. A joy for the performers, who surrender to the music without any resistance, and for the public, who can admire the maturity and skill of each dancer.

Abiectio
When violence bathes the soul of a human being, we celebrate the failure of communication, also the funeral of education. Frightened and disoriented, an injured individual looks at himself in the mirror with degrading mortification and responds to the outside world by attacking. Every man, however, in possession of that particular gift called empathy, places himself immediately and positively in the condition of

''O''
The idea at the base of “O” is eternity and how attaining it is humanity’s ultimate goal. As in the summer of 2017 in Hong Kong for the very first time two humanoid robots vocally interacted with one another it became clear to anyone watching that a future, in which accumulated human knowledge is passed on by communicating inorganic material, is within reach. Therefore “O” can be seen as two human beings or two robots celebrating in a state of transcendence and emotional fulfilment, both moving to the never-ending beat of their unstoppable hearts.
And as the spaceship computer Hal in Stanley Kubrick’s movie ‘2001: A Space Odyssey’ puts it: “I know I’ve made some very poor decisions recently, but I can give you my complete assurance that my work will be back to normal. I’ve still got the greatest enthusiasm and confidence in the mission. And I want to help you.”

Dreamers
2019-09-06 20:30 - 22:30
Aterballetto presents the world premiere of the new triple bill Dreamers, composed of cloud|materia by Philippe Kratz, Traces by Rihoko Sato and Secus by Ohad Naharin.
Dreamers offers a unique opportunity to admire the company through shades of contrast, from the rational physicality of Philippe Kratz, Aterballetto choreographer and dancer, to the sophisticated, ethereal style of Japanese Rihoko Sato, the muse and favorite performer of Saburo Teshigawara, to vigorous rituality of Ohad Naharin, the choreographer from Batsheva Dance Company.
All this is possible thanks to this international co-production that relates us to Festival Oriente Occidente in Rovereto, Les Halles de Schaerbeek in Brussels, Malraux scène nationale Chambéry Savoie in France and, for the creation cloud|materia by Philippe Kratz, Bayer Culture Engagement in Leverkusen.

Prova aperta_Il Barbiere di Siviglia
In occasione dei centocinquant’anni dalla morte di Gioachino Rossini, Monica Casadei con la Compagnia Artemis Danza affronta uno dei titoli più celebri del maestro pesarese, Il Barbiere di Siviglia, che la coreografa ha immaginato come un avveniristico “balletto d’azione”. Ma chi è davvero Figaro? Nella lettura di Monica Casadei Figaro è il prototipo dell’uomo di successo nel mondo di oggi. L’eroe rossiniano diventa l’emblema di chi riesce a soddisfare con efficacia, vivacità e savoir faire le aspettative di una società che impone ogni giorno di raggiungere i propri obiettivi ottimizzando tempi ed energie.
COMPAGNIA ARTEMIS DANZA
Originally from Ferrara, Monica Casadei graduates in philosophy cum laude writing a dissertation on dance in Plato’s system. After a career as a professional acrobatic gymnast, she takes to studying classic and modern dance, at first in Italy, then in London, and eventually in Paris where she gets to meet choreographers Pierre Doussaint and Isabelle Doubouloz and the Master André Cognard Hanshi So shihan, with whom she still practices the martial art of Aikido.
In France, she founds the company Artemis Danza, with which she later moves to Italy, in 1997, giving birth to a fervent production activity that amounts, nowadays, to over 40 original creations.
From 1998 to 2007, the Company is part of an artist residency at Fondazione Teatro Due in Parma whereas, from 2014 up to this day, it partakes in an artist residency at Teatro Comunale in Bologna. Artemis Danza has been invited to the most important Italian theatres and festivals and to several international tours and festivals.
Pivotal elements in Monica Casadei’ s artistic research are the influences from different artistic, cultural and geographic fields and the exploration of urban spaces and places that turn into stages for performances.
Alongside the production activity, Artemis funds, produces and promotes young choreographers and organizes several activities meant to artistically educate the audience.
