Thursday, April 18th – 9:00 PM
Friday, April 19th – 9:00 PM
The protagonists of the evening are the dancers of Agora Coaching Project, a high-level training project promoted and supported by MM Contemporary Dance Company and A.S.D Progetto Danza of Reggio Emilia under the artistic direction of Michele Merola and Enrico Morelli. Initiated in 2010, the course is gaining full recognition in the European dance world and boasts collaborations with internationally renowned teachers and choreographers.
ALLEGRO by Maša Kolar

Allegro is a choreography focused on the character of Leonard Bernstein, presented through the environment in which he excelled best, namely music in all its forms. Hence, one of his most significant interpretations has been chosen, namely the orchestral direction of Beethoven’s nine symphonies. In addition to the music, the choreography focuses on Bernstein’s live performance and observes his conducting gesture: since the specificity of this gesture is individual and authentic for each conductor, Bernstein’s cheerful and joyful character takes center stage, marked in music by the term Allegro.
These two key concepts, ‘allegro’ tempo and the conductor’s gesture, have become the backbone of this work: it has led to five separate units but united by these concepts. The conductor’s gestures range from very abstract ones transferred to the entire body to very concrete gestures, such as using the conductor’s baton with which the dancers communicate and/or manipulate other people.
The very form of the stage through the set design (white chairs) and costumes (black uniforms) suggests an orchestra. It is this form that has allowed structuring five different scenes while maintaining a sense of unity and integrity. Through their dance, gestures, mutual manipulations, and the play of chairs, the dancers dissolve and reconstruct each scene, establishing a constantly changing idea of the orchestra’s hierarchy.
The working experience that young dancers gather within the Agora Coaching Project, in encountering the various choreographic languages of authors who have built these same or similar choreographies with professionals, is very intense, exciting, and also very precious. This is the moment when these young dance talents, still under the protection of the Agora project, appear before their future audience, dancing choreographies with an ever-new aesthetic of an unknown choreographer. The dynamics created in facing the artistic uncertainty of this project are an important educational tool. For me, it has been a great pleasure to be part of this significant moment of transformation for young dancers. – Maša Kolar

LAST MOVEMENT OF HOPE – I CHAPTER by Adriano Bolognino
“In this historical moment that unites us all, marked by fear, instability, and the unknown, it seems to us that our lives cannot follow the paths we had imagined. Every brick of our constructions seems to crumble with each new shock. Wars, environmental phenomena, our world is collapsing on us, and we are increasingly defenseless, waiting, because often we do not have the opportunity to have power, or positions that allow us to react or decide. We are all in the same condition, but isn’t it true that we all have the same possibilities of action, whether of thought or physical? We do not act or escape.
Escaping from all this evil, even if it costs us so much, would seem the most serene path; and we struggle tremendously to continue searching for that glimmer of hope that can make us still believe in this life. Hoping for a new place perhaps, made of security and love. We are an army of nothing, finding ourselves fighting against unbeatable monsters, crushed by forces we cannot confront, destroyed by our own wars. And like fearless knights, driven by great dreams, we encounter this tortuous path, unaware, or perhaps forced to fight for ideals that are not our own. Like a mother carrying her precious creature in her womb, adding and not destroying those bricks that each of us is slowly placing in our own path.
I would like to create a dance that could be a soundtrack of what we are experiencing through intersecting relationships with ourselves and others; experienced all in the same space, a place of the past, present, and a different future. The same fears, the same difficulties, the same last movement of hope. An adventure, a journey into weakness, perhaps futility, of the human being, which, however, always carries with it the great strength of those who rise when everything seems to give nothing more than demolition. A moment of reflection also regarding our relationship with the planet that hosts us, and that perhaps we are no longer able to care for and manage. A dialogue with nature, not only enlightening of how small we are compared to it but also of how un
grateful we have been and still are in killing life in its entirety. Almost as if to overturn the famous Dialogue between Nature and an Islander by Giacomo Leopardi. Bringing it back to our reality, where we ourselves harm, striking all nature, to which we foolishly still assign blame. A last movement, that is one of renewed energy and awareness. Running together towards a less shadowy future.” – Adriano Bolognino
I want, I will — if not here,
in another place that I do not yet know.
I have lost nothing. I will be everything.

The word Courage derives from the Latin cor habeo, which means to have heart.
A fragment of life.
A fragment of life together.
A fragment before going out and facing with courage together what will be theirs and between them living that important moment made of insecurities, separations, approaches, and breaths in unison, retracing a small part of their journey that led them to have courage for that choice decided and elaborated together.
The audience will be immersed in the lived fragment.
Only a few at a time will be able to live and breathe together with the performers their fragment.

“Presenting Aterballetto’s MicroDances in Sofia is an opportunity to bring to the attention of the capital’s audience an absolute excellence of Italian contemporary dance and Made in Italy. Bulgaria, on the other hand, is known worldwide for the very high level of its artists in the musical field and for its traditional dances. Therefore, a fertile ground will welcome the talented dancers of Aterballetto in Sofia, for whom the Municipality itself has made available a place symbolizing the history and culture of the country, the Largo. I am confident that the Italian artists will give the local audience an unforgettable artistic moment, further proof of the strong cultural ties that unite Italy and Bulgaria.

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
2024-05-09 21:00 - 22:00 (Europe/Rome) | Teatro Civico, Via Monte di Pietà, 15, Vercelli, 13100, Italia
Aterballetto performs Stories at the Civic Theater in Vercelli as part of the We Speak Dance festival.

Stories is a small anthology of danced fragments. They represent only an infinitesimal part of the rich artistic and human universe of the two choreographers Diego Tortelli and Philippe Kratz.
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
2024-05-09 21:00 - 22:00 (Europe/Rome) | Fonderia, via della Costituzione, 39, Reggio Emilia, 42124, Italy
Visible things can be invisible. If someone rides a horse in a forest, first you see them, then not, but you know they are there. In the White Signature, the horsewoman hides the trees, and the trees in turn hide her. However, our thought encompasses 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 with 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.
Next: FORM 0 – Looking at symmetry
Meeting with the audience moderated by artist and researcher Eleonora Marzani, who will introduce the themes of symmetry and the mirror underlying the creative process of this work.

YELED / RHAPSODY IN BLUE / SECUS
2024-05-13 20:30 - 22:00 (Europe/Rome) | Teatro Verdi, Viale Martelli, 2, Pordenone, 33170, Italia
The Teatro Verdi in Pordenone hosts the Aterballetto Company as part of a series dedicated to the international dance. The evening begins with Yeled by Eyal Dadon, followed by Rhapsody in Blue, the latest production by Iratxe Ansa and Igor Bacovich. The night concludes with Secus, a creation by the Israeli choreographer Ohad Naharin, restaged for the Company in 2019.
YELED – Eyal Dadon
Yeled, a Hebrew word meaning “child,” brings to the stage the reflection that Israeli choreographer Eyal Dadon, together with the dancers of Aterballetto, has undertaken on the moment in life when one loses the innocence of childhood.

RHAPSODY IN BLUE – Iratxe Ansa & Igor Bacovich
«Rhapsody in Blue by George Gershwin holds various attractions for us. It is beautiful music, known but perhaps not so frequently heard by newer generations. Introducing this work to the young audience is a good goal, and it can be a way to provide a less distant and less ‘American’ vision of Gershwin, going beyond the cultural context in which the Rhapsody was created. The Rhapsody will naturally dictate the choreographic work, and the lively, sparkling changes it offers are fantastic to play with.» – Iratxe Ansa & Igor Bacovich

SECUS – Ohad Naharin
Secus is a creation by Ohad Naharin featuring a music collage ranging from the unconventional electronic styles of AGF to the seductive Indian melodies of Kaho Naa Pyar Hai and the resonant harmonies of the Beach Boys. This daringly eclectic mix serves as a fitting backdrop for the boldly extravagant choreography.

FND/Aterballetto-Stravaganze in G Minor
Stravaganze in G Minor by Francesca Lattuada arrives at the Abano Danza Festival.
The magical virtuosity of Toti Scialoja (1914-1998), a master not only of images but also of words, played with by a dancer and a baritone, is the basis of this new creation for children and teenagers, signed by the National Dance Foundation / Aterballetto.
The almost magical vibrations that flow from Scialoja’s poems are like the infinite rings created on the surface of the water when a stone is thrown: evoking unreal or hyper-real images, carrying a musicality that mixes poetry and nursery rhyme, making the extraordinary and the frightening join hands.
Under a tuft of scarlet roses
The toad offers hot tea with milk
Under a tuft of purple roses
The toad has to wash the cups.

A LOT OF / SEHNSUCHT
2024-05-15 21:00 - 22:00 (Europe/Rome) | Fonderia, via della Costituzione, 39, Reggio Emilia, 42124, Italy
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.
DISCOVER MORE
The number 3 is a constant in the work: 3 performers on stage, 3 different authors, 3 musical compositions, 3 historical characters, 3 parts.
The first of the three parts is a duet inspired by L’Après-midi d’un Faune, choreographed by Nijinsky in 1912. In the original work, the author addresses the theme of uncontrollable sexual impulse, which gives rise to a huge sense of guilt. In his Diaries, written seven years after the ballet, it is evident that the choreographer was inspired by his own life with Dyagilev, whom he was in love with. From this arises his inner contrast, due on one hand to the moral censorship of the times and on the other to the strong attraction to the prostitutes he frequented.
The second part is a solo built on the constant and repeated search for virility and eroticism already unwittingly inherent in popular memory. A plunge into sacrifice, a ritual aimed at a higher pleasure. Carnal movements that clash with the most sensual delicacies. A body that observes and scrutinizes. A body that screams and savors. A body that nestles on familiar melodies sinking into ancestral memories.
The third part tells an ancient love story by origin, contemporary by definition. On stage, two bodies that love each other until a third takes the place of one of the two, a new couple is formed but briefly, they become a trio; the triangle composed of the legendary Vaslav Nijinsky, Countess Romola de Pulszky, and impresario Sergei Pavlovich Dyagilev takes shape on stage through tenderness, passion, voyeurism, fun, anger, and loneliness. Romola’s strength, Nijinsky’s will, Dyagilev’s fury intertwine in forms, trajectories, patterns, explosions. Three people who love each other. Is this also love? What moves their souls and their bodies?
The music starts from the reworking of two immortal works: L’Après-midi d’un Faune by Debussy and Le Sacre du Printemps by Stravinsky. The themes are re-elaborated and deconstructed with an electro-acoustic approach, the harmonic material reiterated in an almost cathartic manner in order to underline the erotic and mad nuances of Nijinsky’s tormented poetry. Musical repetition is a fundamental part of the process, the matrix of a primitive feeling refined into modern man, a victim of love and its consequences.

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.
DISCOVER MORE
The music, specially composed for the performance by Filippo Ripamonti, plays a role in defining the space created by the dancers, also through the use of reverbs and source tracking. The music expands until it breaks these boundaries with an anthropomorphic music, no longer tied to the distance between molecules but to the distance between people.
The creation seeks to go beyond the choreographic container itself, in an instantaneous composition, different with each repetition. The dancers enter into a score of spatial and temporal coordinates, with a vocabulary of movement to draw from each time to write a new relationship, a new choreography, in search of contact with the other, of reconciliation, of unity.
The choreographic flow in which the performers immerse themselves evolves and slowly reveals the internal relationships, questioning the limit, which forces them to constant attention to the group, to change, to instant reaction.
In this system, bodies seek each other, find each other, and explore contact anew, a new way of living the relationship in which the audience recognizes itself, living with hope and craving the performative act.

YELED / SECUS
2024-05-16 19:00 - 20:00, 2024-05-17 19:00 - 20:00 (Europe/Rome) | Lodz Grand Theatre, Plac Dąbrowskiego, 90-249, Łódź, Polonia
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
2024-05-18 18:00 - 20:00 (Europe/Rome) | Centro Sociale Gattaglio, Via del Gattaglio, 30, 42123 Reggio Emilia RE, Reggio Emilia, 42123, Italia
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.”

MOODBOARD
2024-05-21 21:00 - 22:00 (Europe/Rome) | Fonderia, via della Costituzione, 39, Reggio Emilia, 42124, Italy
Exploring the human soul through dance: Moodboard is an evening composed of four choreographies by young authors, presented by Nutida Festival and Stazione Utopia. Much more than just a series of dance performances, Moodboard is an exciting and engaging journey that explores the human spirit through the beauty of movement. Each piece carries with it a unique story, a profound message, and a personal vision of the world. From the life and fragility of Marilyn Monroe to the complexity of human relationships, from the duality of life choices to the mysterious phases of the moon: each performance offers an intimate and powerful look into our existence.
MM is a powerful exploration of the life and fragility of Marilyn Monroe through dance, accompanied by the choreography of Giovanni Insaudo. Lunatica tells of a dreamlike journey through the phases of the moon, interpreted by Matilde Di Ciolo and Veronica Galdo. The choreography by Roberto Doveri captures the enigma of the stars and transforms movement into poetry. IN(10)SION is an exploration of human duality and the choices that define our path in life. Through the choreography of Isabella Giustina and the performance of Beatrice Ciattini, the show invites reflection on one’s own certainties. Closing the evening, LANDSCAPE: based on the work of Harold Pinter – Paesaggio – explores the complexity of human relationships through two simultaneous monologues. The choreography by Alice Catapano offers a profound look at the modes of interaction within a couple, misunderstandings, and communicative short circuits.
In continuity with the philosophy of the Nutida Festival in Scandicci, the audience will be offered an aperitif at Fonderia, starting from 8:00 PM.

From Sofia to Madrid, passing through Oslo and Cologne: this is the second phase of Italia Danza, on stage from April 27 to May 24, 2024.
A cosmopolitan project, entrusted to the universal language of the body, desired by the Directorate General for Public and Cultural Diplomacy of the Farnesina, and interpreted by CCN/Aterballetto thanks to its now rich heritage of site-specific creations. A contemporary repertoire that includes MicroDanze (short creations for confined spaces, signed by Italian and international choreographers), but also stage performances revisited for the occasion, so they can be presented anywhere.
Galería de las Colecciones Reales | Italian Cultural Institute of Madrid, May 23-24, 2024
Thanks to the collaboration between the Italian Cultural Institute of Madrid and the Galería de las Colecciones Reales, on May 23 and 24, the closing stage of the second edition of “Italia Danza” will be held in Madrid with a particularly ambitious itinerary: it will start at the Galería de Las Colecciones Reales and continue at the Italian Cultural Institute of Madrid, with choreographies by Elena Kekkou, Francesca Lattuada, Angelin Preljocaj, Philippe Kratz, and Diego Tortelli.

“We are thrilled to be part of the second edition of Italia Danza. The Madrid stage will be truly special: with the MicroDanze chosen together with Aterballetto and the Spanish partners, we will create an ideal bridge between the wonderful spaces of our Institute, a symbol of Italian culture in Spain, and the Galería de las Colecciones Reales, a custodian of the history and heritage of this extraordinary country. Once again, Italian and Spanish culture meet, and once again, we are protagonists with our cultural and creative excellences.”

FAMILY CONTACT: THE WORKSHOP FOR CHILDREN AND FAMILIES
Sunday, May 26 – 10:00 AM | Fonderia
“The body has its own laws and follows a logic that, however, is not necessarily that of reason” (Kazuo Ono)
The body is an expressive instrument capable of establishing relationships, creating forms, interpreting stories and music. The encounter with dance is an important opportunity for both physical and emotional growth. Family Contact is a moment of sharing between children and parents that aims to explore new worlds. Being together through the body, movement, physical contact, creating and building a new harmonic union. Parents and children will experiment with new relationships, new spaces, new languages, all through the body that will enjoy improvising and experimenting with new collective games, in a non-verbal dialogue rich in human connections. With Family Contact time stands still and imagination takes over.

VISIONI DEL CORPO: THE BODY IN DANGER
2024-05-27 21:00 - 22:00 (Europe/Rome) | Fonderia, via della Costituzione, 39, Reggio Emilia, 42124, Italy
Visioni del corpo is a series of events that from May 27th to November 29th, 2024 will feature a blend of contemporary art and dance, in a journey where the common denominator will be the body. Six encounters on contemporary art led by Nicolas Ballario, where alongside words there will be dance, through some performative interventions in connection with the presented works. Each encounter will be divided into six moments where Ballario will introduce six works by six different artists, well-known figures in the contemporary scene also to non-enthusiast audiences. Each encounter will be entrusted to a choreographer, who will translate into dance the suggestions evoked by the discussed works. Each encounter will enrich a small “dancing encyclopedia” of contemporary art, investigating how illustrious artists have dealt with the theme of the body. Before and after the events at Fonderia, the bar service will be available, offering an aperitif to stimulate dialogue among different audiences and different forms of art.

First Appointment: Monday, May 27th at 9:00 PM at Fonderia

The Body in Danger
Dialogue between Nicolas Ballario, Roberto Escobar, and Roberto Tedesco
Choreography by Roberto Tedesco
Focus on Marina Abramovich, Jean Michel Basquiat, Joseph Beuys, Yves Kleins, Tracey Emin, Bill Viola
In partnership with

The first appointment is born in collaboration with the festivalfilosofia of Modena, Carpi, and Sassuolo, a historic event that connects a key word in each edition, which refers to fundamental issues in philosophical discussion and crucial experiences of contemporary condition, like the upcoming September with psyche. A reflection on the mind will also open the theme interpreted by Roberto Tedesco: on May 27th at Fonderia, the investigation will delve into The Body in Danger, a macro-topic starting from the anthropology of risk and could extend to climate emergency, addressing in general all physical and psychosomatic emergencies that the contemporary body faces. Dialoguing with the choreographer and Nicolas Ballario will be the philosopher Roberto Escobar.
The audience will also experience a VR experience with Francesca Lattuada’s MicroDanza, It’s Dangerous Not to Lean Out, with Oculus available one hour before and one hour after the encounter.

FONDERIA ATERBALLETTO
via della Costituzione 39, Reggio Emilia

Roberto Tedesco
Roberto Tedesco, born in 1992, began studying dance at the age of eleven.
In 2009, he joined the Balletto di Toscana School, immediately dancing for the Junior Bdt youth company. In 2011, he joined Aterballetto where he remained for ten years, working with great choreographers from the national and international scene, including: Ohad Naharin, Jiri Kylian, Hofesh Shechter, William Forsythe, Johan Inger, etc. With Aterballetto, he began choreographing and participated twice in the International Choreographic Competition in Hannover, winning the critics’ award.

Double Performance:
Tuesday, June 4 – 9:00 PM
Wednesday, June 5 – 9:00 PM
The protagonists of the evening are the dancers of the Agora Coaching Project, an advanced training project promoted and supported by the MM Contemporary Dance Company and the A.S.D Progetto Danza of Reggio Emilia, under the artistic direction of Michele Merola and Enrico Morelli. Started in 2010, the course is gaining full recognition in the European dance world and boasts collaborations with internationally renowned teachers and choreographers.
SCHUBERT FRAMES by Enrico Morelli
To the extraordinary music of Franz Schubert, Enrico Morelli has entrusted his work: no one better than the Viennese composer has been able to interpret the conflicting feelings of love, tension, melancholy, regret, but also hope. A collage of famous pieces by Schubert, extracted from true masterpieces – composed two centuries ago, still amaze today for their great relevance – serve as the soundtrack to this work dedicated to the many souls of contemporary man, where love gives way to disenchantment, detachment to sharing, passion to fear, and vice versa, in a back-and-forth between crescendos and diminuendos, revealing entire universes and secret connections. The choreography aims to be a tale of solitudes and kindred spirits, in an era like ours, weary, murky, disenchanted, tormented by a malaise that is in the air, but also anxiously searching for meaning and a hope of happiness, some tenderness. A tale of comings and goings that focuses mainly on the moment of return, because happiness is a home to return to, perhaps changed, heedless of the accelerated pace of a present that risks making us struggle and a future we fear to explore. The problem is not to arrive, but to return. To learn to love again each time. To have the courage to recognize ourselves as fragile, and therefore generous in tenderness.

METEOROLOGY RECHARGED by Michele Di Stefano
Seven pieces on the coexistence and proximity between bodies, on what makes dance a formidable tool for knowing the other and others; the work is primarily a path of appropriation of the external space to give body and rhythm to a very simple idea: that dance has the ability to create a welcoming place where someone else’s dance can exist. For this reason, the dancers’ attention is always directed outward, to what is near, around the body. With an exotic touch that doesn’t hurt. We would like this space, which each body projects outward, to be perceived as a “possible” space of coexistence, proximity, and invention, based purely on facts.

OPEN REHEARSAL - NOTTE MORRICONE
2024-06-10 18:00 - 19:00 (Europe/Rome) | Fonderia, via della Costituzione, 39, Reggio Emilia, 42124, Italy
«”I, Ennio Morricone, am dead,” wrote the composer before saying goodbye. His music, on the other hand, cannot do so. And this is how creators and artists always leave us without really leaving, and this is how memory takes care to keep them alive, to keep them safe. Notte Morricone is my gift, a devoted tribute to the beauty he gave to the world. Ennio Morricone could be my father or my grandfather; I am a direct heir to his legacy, to the films that (whether masterpieces, good, mediocre, or bad) owe him an immeasurable debt.» – Marcos Morau
Notte Morricone, the new creation by CCN / Aterballetto created by the award-winning choreographer Marcos Morau, debuts on August 1, 2024, at the Arena Sferisterio during the Macerata Opera Festival. The show features the entire ensemble of the Compagnia Aterballetto and, thanks to a coalition of national co-producers, celebrates the indelible artistic legacy of Oscar-winning Ennio Morricone.
On Monday, June 10, at 6:00 PM, the Fonderia audience will have the opportunity to witness the preparation of Notte Morricone.
Open rehearsals are unique moments where one can witness the creation of a show, interact with the artists, and be amazed by the art of dance: a special occasion that allows the audience into the daily routines of the dancers and choreographers.

EARLY SUGGESTIONS
«I am often asked what music I listen to, what music inspires me or accompanies me in my daily life, and I always respond the same way: from classical music to contemporary waves, I draw inspiration from many diverse sources, and Ennio Morricone is always at the top of the list.
Morricone’s music embodies that abstract sense of what is not said and not seen in films. Although it is almost impossible to separate his music from the images it accompanies, Morricone transcends and intertwines with life itself, with memories, and with the beauty and cruelty of a world that continues to move forward, destroying and building itself every day.
His music has a powerful melancholic quality that stems both from the contemplation of the past and from the impossibility of capturing any past experience.
Classically trained with an avant-garde vocation, Morricone was always beyond the trends of the moment. Today, three years after his death, Morricone continues to inspire artists and visionaries in various fields, and his music belongs to an entire century, having revived many of our great masters.
His music was a genre in itself, and for this evening, I want to build a universe based on his sensibility to confirm that his legacy is more alive than ever and that, as he himself would say, “my music has a life of its own, that can live far from the films for which it was created”.»
(Marcos Morau, February 2023)
MARCOS MORAU
Recently appointed Knight of the Order of Arts and Letters by the French Ministry of Culture and selected as the best choreographer of 2023 by the German magazine TANZ, the career of Marcos Morau (born in Valencia in 1982) continues to flourish as a creator and stage director.
Trained between Barcelona and New York in photography, choreography, theater theory, and dramaturgy, Marcos Morau constructs imaginary worlds and landscapes where image, text, movement, music, and space form a unique universe constantly nourished by cinema, photography, and literature.
Since 2004, Marcos has directed La Veronal, a company present in top theaters and festivals across more than thirty countries: Théâtre National de Chaillot in Paris, the Venice Biennale, the Avignon Festival, Tanz Im August in Berlin, the RomaEuropa Festival, the SIDance Festival de Seoul, Sadler’s Wells in London, Danse Danse Montreal, among many others.
In addition to his work with La Veronal, Marcos Morau is an international guest artist in various companies and theaters where he develops new creations, always at the intersection of performing arts and dance: Nederlands Dans Theater, Lyon Opera Ballet, Les Grands Ballets Canadiens, Royal Danish Ballet, and The Royal Ballet of Flanders, among others.
As the youngest creator to receive the National Dance Award, the highest recognition in Spain, the future of Morau and La Veronal aims to explore new formats and languages where opera, dance, and physical theater interact more than ever, seeking new ways to express and communicate in our turbulent and ever-evolving times.
Starting from this season, he is an associated artist at the Staatsballett Berlin.
“La Veronal is a reminder that dance is often at the forefront of the most innovative theater.” – The New York Times
“Morau’s visual treatment is so brilliant, so vividly strange, that we become involved in what turns out to be a story of transmission and emancipation.” – Le Monde
“Morau, one of the most interesting young choreographers on the contemporary dance scene.” – El País

Stravaganze in sol minore
2024-06-18 21:00 - 22:00 (Europe/Rome) | Accademia Perduta Romagna Teatri, Teatro Il Piccolo - Via Cerchia 98, 47121 Forlì, Forlì, 47121, Italia
FND/Aterballetto-Stravaganze in sol minore
Stravaganze in sol minore by Francesca Lattuada arrives at the Colpi di Scena Festival in Forlì.
The magical virtuosity of Toti Scialoja (1914-1998), a master not only of images but also of words, with which a dancer and a baritone play, is at the heart of this new creation for children, signed by the Fondazione Nazionale della Danza / Aterballetto.
The almost magical vibrations that emanate from Scialoja’s poems are like the infinite rings that form on the surface of the water when a stone is thrown: evocative of unreal or hyperreal images, carriers of a musicality that blends poetry and nursery rhyme, making the extraordinary and the frightening hold hands.
Under a clump of scarlet roses
The toad offers hot tea with milk
Under a clump of peacock-blue roses
It’s the toad’s turn to rinse the cups.
(Toti Scialoja, The Apple of Hamlet, 1984)

The Program
Eppur si muove by Francesca Lattuada
Near life experience by Angelin Preljocaj
A GIG by Diego Tortelli
Active Motivation by Elena Kekkou
In Eppur si muove by Francesca Lattuada, a performer on a pedestal barrel is drawn to the notes of Beethoven’s Allegretto. His dance fascinates and seduces, imposing like a prayer chant. Near life experience by Angelin Preljocaj explores the body in intermediate situations, such as ecstasy and fainting. The subject is elsewhere, captured by space and time. A GIG, in the jargon of musicians and rock enthusiasts, is a performance by the headlining group of an event. Diego Tortelli designs a short opening or closing act, something brief to warm up the audience or bid them goodnight. Active Motivation by Elena Kekkou explores human existence, an infinite line that, in its wandering, intersects with other lines creating interaction.

For groups of 30 spectators every 10 minutes. To attend the performance, it is necessary to arrive promptly at the chosen time slot.
Duration: 60 minutes
Three performances: 8:00 PM, 8:45 PM, 9:30 PM

Visions of the body: discovering contemporary art through auteur dance.
A “dancing encyclopedia” that speaks of the world through dance, placing the body at the center of the human experience. This is the new project by CCN / Aterballetto, a series of six cultural dissemination events that, from May 27 to November 29, 2024, will fill the halls of the Fonderia in Reggio Emilia. Connecting the arts, movement, and current events, the meetings address themes such as psychological well-being, the relationship with the city, the future, and ecology through an experimental cultural medium.
Nicolas Ballario, journalist, curator, and communicator, introduces the topic of the debate, which, moving between dance and contemporary arts, reflects on the body from a different perspective each time. Each meeting is divided into six moments, dedicated to the works of six artists chosen to explore the main theme: famous faces of contemporary art, well known to the general public. Each meeting will be interpreted by a choreographer from the contemporary scene, who will translate the suggestions of the discussed works into dance with a new performance specifically designed for the project.
Second event: Sunday, June 23, 6:30 PM
The Naked Body

From June 6th to July 4th, 2024, at the garden of the medieval Castello dell’Acciaiolo in Scandicci, Stazione Utopia presents, also for 2024, Nutida | Nuovə Danzatorə: a dance festival inspired by the relationship with the place and its inhabitants, supporting new generations of dancers, and featuring site-specific performances conceived or adapted in a “nude” form, in a garden, outdoors, during summer, at sunset.
For the occasion, we will present, in its preview, An Echo, a wave by Philippe Kratz, performed by Federica Lamonaca and Giovanni Leone.

There is probably no other view like that of the sea that can come close to explaining the difficult concept of eternity. It hypnotizes us and can fill us with spiritual awe. Watching the flow of movement of a dancer, we sometimes rediscover that natural motion of marine surfaces.
