Double Side
2023-03-25 19:30 - 20:40 (Europe/Rome) | Kurtheater, Parkstrasse 20, Baden, 5401, Svizzera
The Fondazione Nazionale della Danza / Aterballetto dances Double Side in Baden, Switzerland.
Baroque music and contemporary dance are combined in the new programme of the Italian Fondazione Nazionale della Danza / Aterballetto, which features two choreographers from Canada and Cuba who are little known in Italy, Danièle Desnoyers and Norge Cedeño Raffo. In close collaboration with the Fondazione Arturo Toscanini from Parma, its orchestral counterpart from Emilia-Romagna Region, the renowned company brings along a musical ensemble of singers and string players, dancing to a baroque suite and a “Stabat Mater” by Arvo Pärt.

Synopsis
The Cuban Norge Cedeño Raffo creates to religious music, of all things. The young, up-and-coming choreographer was a soloist with Danza Contemporánea de Cuba, the most important contemporary company in Cuba. Arvo Pärt’s “Stabat Mater” becomes a painful farewell work for him. The Estonian composer set the medieval text about the pain of the Mother of God to music in his characteristic, reduced style. The moving effect of this music also characterises the expressive, free and, in the most beautiful sense, pure dance: how can one find hope again in a destroyed world and after such a great loss, how can one go on living, Norge Cedeño Raffo asks himself in his work.

Choreographer Danièle Desnoyers comes from Montréal, the metropolis of modern Canadian dance, where her light, fluid style and her own company make her a permanent fixture on the contemporary scene. In addition to a theatrical element, her pieces always have a strong relationship to music. Her creation for Aterballetto is based on a suite by the Italian composer Federico Gon; the specialist for baroque music was inspired by Henry Purcell.

Docufilm Stabat Mater - Danzare oltre i confini
Norge Cedeño Raffo’s creation Stabat Mater inspired Rai5 to make the docufilm Stabat Mater – Danzare oltre i confini (Dancing Beyond Borders).
The docufilm closely reports the artistic and human experience of the young talented choreographer, for the first time in Italy, and shows his creative process, in the setting of the Teatro Asioli in Correggio, a small Italian-style theatre immersed in the Po Valley, one of the most fascinating and evocative.
The filming of the docufilm (directed by Alessandro D’Onghia) began on 29 January 2021 (the choreographer’s first day of work with the three dancers) and ended on 6 March 2021 (the day of the closed-door preview at the Teatro Asioli in Correggio, with musicians and singers from the Istituto Superiore di Studi Musicali Achille Peri in Reggio Emilia). The airing of the docufilm on Rai5 was on 29 April 2021, on the occasion of the International Day of Dance.

Storie
2023-03-28 21:00 - 22:15 | Fonderia, via della Costituzione, 39, Reggio Emilia, 42124, Italy
Aterballetto dances Storie at its own Fonderia.

Storie is a small anthology of danced fragments. They are only an infinitesimal part of the very rich artistic and human universe of the two choreographers Diego Tortelli and Philippe Kratz.
Tortelli creates two pieces: Preludio, opening the bill, is a love letter to the body for five dancers on Nick Cave music, Another story is a duo about the impossible gesture of 2020, the hug.
Between past and future the two creations by Kratz. The duo “O” offers us two human bodies / robots that force us to question ourselves on how the sense of physical contact might change: will it remain emotional and heartfelt, or will it become serial and alienated?
Alpha Grace, a creation for six dancers at the end of the bill, is a reflection on empathy, a form of gentle communication among people who feel on the same level. It too is severely stretched by the present times.

MADE IN ITALY 28.0
2023-03-30 21:00 - 22:30 | Fonderia, via della Costituzione, 39, Reggio Emilia, 42124, Italy
Agora Coaching Project – Made in Italy 27.0 – ph Nicola Stasi

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 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.
On stage Made in Italy 28.0 with choreography by Sasha Waltz and Paolo Mohovich. IN C
Study for ‘In C’
Choreography by Sasha Waltz
Music by Terry Riley
Re-staged by Davide Di Pretoro

An important opportunity for enrichment is the encounter of the young dancers of Agora Coaching Project with the work “In C” by the great choreographer Sasha Waltz. A considerable achievement for the training course supported by the MM Contemporary Dance Company, which is enriched by such a prestigious collaboration as Sasha Waltz & Guest, bringing Agora fully into a wide-ranging European training context. “In C”, which the Fondazione I Teatri will host at the Teatro Valli in a few months, danced by Sasha Waltz’s company, is one of the German choreographer’s latest works. The work was created to the musical score by Terry Riley, composed in 1964 and revolutionary for the time, as it constitutes the first example of minimalist music
On this milestone in the history of music, the great German choreographer Sasha Waltz and the dancers of her company developed a choreographic work that follows an equally variable structure, deliberately designed not to be a finished scenic piece, but one that is constantly evolving. The result is an experimental system of choreographic figures that fit within a structured improvisation, a dynamic and modular system that can be adapted to different times and formats.
PICCOLI RITI NOTTURNI
Choreography: Paolo Mohovich
Music: Michael Kiwanuka
Assistant to the choreographer: Diletta Torelli

The first walk in a dark wood. The first moonlight swim. The first party, the first encounters and disencounters (amorous and otherwise)… to be a little older the next day…
Night rituals that in hindsight appear small, but how can we forget the emotion that made them appear immense?
AGORA COACHING PROJECT
AGORA COACHING PROJECT is a two-year dance training project for dancers between the ages of 16 and 22. Agora aims to train artists ready to flexibly face the variety of the international dance market, artists capable of responding to the different technical/stylistic demands of this same market.
The aim is to provide a solid basis for learning the various techniques in use on the international contemporary dance scene and the different repertoires through the alternation of qualified teachers and artists by bringing to the stage the works created by guest choreographers. The course aims to offer a wide range of stimuli, technical, cultural and exchange between students and choreographers, each of whom comes from and works in different realities among the most interesting on the international scene. Agora brings dancers together with established choreographers and directors of prestigious companies, thus giving students the opportunity to obtain work contracts; Agora thus represents an active and effective bridge between training and the world of work, having built a network of collaborations with numerous European companies over the years. Many Agora students are currently working in these prestigious ensembles.

The Fondazione Nazionale della Danza / Aterballetto dances Double Side in Lörrach, Germany.
Baroque music and contemporary dance are combined in the new programme of the Italian Fondazione Nazionale della Danza / Aterballetto, which features two choreographers from Canada and Cuba who are little known in Italy, Danièle Desnoyers and Norge Cedeño Raffo. In close collaboration with the Fondazione Arturo Toscanini from Parma, its orchestral counterpart from Emilia-Romagna Region, the renowned company brings along a musical ensemble of singers and string players, dancing to a baroque suite and a “Stabat Mater” by Arvo Pärt.

Synopsis
The Cuban Norge Cedeño Raffo creates to religious music, of all things. The young, up-and-coming choreographer was a soloist with Danza Contemporánea de Cuba, the most important contemporary company in Cuba. Arvo Pärt’s “Stabat Mater” becomes a painful farewell work for him. The Estonian composer set the medieval text about the pain of the Mother of God to music in his characteristic, reduced style.

In addition to a theatrical element, her pieces always have a strong relationship to music. Her creation for Aterballetto is based on a suite by the Italian composer Federico Gon; the specialist for baroque music was inspired by Henry Purcell.

DON JUAN
2023-04-13 21:00 - 22:30 | Teatro Comunale, Viale Trieste, 5, Sassari, SS, 07100, Italia
Aterballetto is in Sassari, a superb Sardinian province, with Don Juan by Johan Inger.
The choreography stems from Inger’s desire to confront Don Juan, an ancient and still contemporary paradigmatic myth. The original comedy by Tirso de Molina, Molière, Bertold Brecht and the play by Suzanne Lilar are just some of the sources of inspiration: Inger and playwright Gregor Acuña-Pohl were able to consult twenty-five different texts inspired by the character.
In the creation we find all the characters in the story, from Donna Elvira to Donna Anna to Zerlina and Masetto. Don Juan can be considered a Kammerspiel, with its ability to emphasize nuances and emotions: and in the case of this creation, dance becomes a magnifying glass for the individual characters, and subtly but clearly reveals the inner worlds of the men and women on stage.

GAP OF 42

GAP of 42 – Chris Iris – ph. Kai Hebestreit

The acrobatic dance show Gap of 42 created and performed by two very talented German artists, Christopher Schlunk and Iris Pelz, is coming to the Fonderia for the first time. Extraordinary acrobatics and situational comedy meet in a contemporary and entertaining show where two apparently very different bodies come together to create something incredible.

SYNOPSIS
Two dissimilar bodies meet acrobatically. 42 cm separate them in height, 42 kg in weight. A difference that unites and creates possibilities instead of being an obstacle. The extraordinary acrobatics surprise the audience while the duo’s subtle humour makes them smile. The performers sympathetically and thought-provokingly show how relationships change and how they meet at eye level. Philosophical questions are raised, absurd moments arise and there is a glimmer of magic. Three wooden objects even out the height difference and become a third partner on stage. The piece is a compilation of contemporary circus, physical theatre, dance and object theatre. Acrobatics performed with precision and ease; touching, poetic and original.
“Rarely has a dance or acrobatic couple been seen that portrays the great themes of being so subtly, so poetically.” (Bernd Guido Weber in ‘Schwäbische’ about GAP of 42)
CHRIS IRIS
Christopher Schlunk and Iris Pelz met at the Academy of Circus and Performing Arts in Tilburg, the Netherlands, where they graduated in 2011. They perform all over the world with renowned companies such as Cirque Éloize (Canada), Cikus Monti (Switzerland), Cirkus Cirkör (Sweden), La Soirée (Australia) and Palazzo (Germany). Their innovative number ‘The Microphone’ won numerous awards, including a silver medal at the Festival Mondial du Cirque de Demain, the audience award at Young Stage, first place at Newcomershow and a special award at the Moscow International Circus Festival. The duo has performed in venues such as the famous Sydney Opera House, Roundhouse in London, La Tohu in Montreal and the Chamäleon Theater in Berlin. Together with four colleagues from the circus school, they founded the collective Common Ground. Their first tour took them to festivals such as Atoll (Germany), Theater op de Markt (Belgium) and Circus Circle (Netherlands).
In 2020/21 Chris and Iris created the duo piece GAP of 42, their first full-length production as a duo.

DON JUAN
2023-04-15 20:30 - 22:00 | Teatro Massimo, Via E. De Magistris, 12, Cagliari, CA, 09123, Italia
Per due serate, il 15 e 16 aprile, Aterballetto è a Cagliari con Don Juan, la serata intera firmata da Johan Inger.
La coreografia nasce dal desiderio di Inger di confrontarsi con Don Giovanni, mito paradigmatico antico e ancora contemporaneo. La commedia originale di Tirso de Molina, Molière, Bertold Brecht e l’opera teatrale di Suzanne Lilar sono solo alcune delle fonti d’ispirazione: Inger e il drammaturgo Gregor Acuña-Pohl hanno potuto consultare venticinque diversi testi ispirati al personaggio.
Nella creazione troviamo tutti i personaggi della storia, da Donna Elvira a Donna Anna a Zerlina e Masetto. Il Don Juan può essere considerato un Kammerspiel, con sua capacità di sottolineare sfumature ed emozioni: e nel caso di questa creazione la danza diviene lente d’ingrandimento dei singoli caratteri, e svela in modo sottile ma evidente il mondo interiore degli uomini e delle donne in scena.

Their innovative number ‘The Microphone’ won numerous awards, including a silver medal at the Festival Mondial du Cirque de Demain, the audience award at Young Stage, first place at Newcomershow and a special award at the Moscow International Circus Festival. The duo has performed in venues such as the famous Sydney Opera House, Roundhouse in London, La Tohu in Montreal and the Chamäleon Theater in Berlin. Together with four colleagues from the circus school, they founded the collective Common Ground. Their first tour took them to festivals such as Atoll (Germany), Theater op de Markt (Belgium) and Circus Circle (Netherlands).
In 2020/21 Chris and Iris created the duo piece GAP of 42, their first full-length production as a duo.

DON JUAN
2023-04-16 19:00 - 20:30 | Teatro Massimo, Via E. De Magistris, 12, Cagliari, CA, 09123, Italia
For two evenings, April 15 and 16, Aterballetto is in Cagliari with Don Juan, the full evening signed by Johan Inger.
The choreography stems from Inger’s desire to confront Don Juan, an ancient and still contemporary paradigmatic myth. The original play by Tirso de Molina, Molière, Bertold Brecht and the play by Suzanne Lilar are just some of the sources of inspiration: Inger and playwright Gregor Acuña-Pohl were able to consult twenty-five different texts inspired by the character.
In the creation we find all the characters in the story, from Donna Elvira to Donna Anna to Zerlina and Masetto. Don Juan can be considered a Kammerspiel, with its ability to emphasize nuances and emotions: and in the case of this creation, dance becomes a magnifying glass for the individual characters, and subtly but clearly reveals the inner worlds of the men and women on stage.

SYNOPSIS
Symbiotic relationships in which two people behave as one and often one of them decides for both.
In some cases it is essential to work on the original symbiosis, the mother/child symbiosis, to arrive at a healthy evolution of the same. In this way today’s adult can bear a farewell without it becoming the unbearable abandonment of the infant it was in the past.
“When in a couple the two partners always agree on everything, one of them is thinking for both.”
(Freud)

BEAST WITHOUT BEAUTY - OPEN REHEARSAL
2023-04-26 18:00 - 19:30 | Fonderia, via della Costituzione, 39, Reggio Emilia, 42124, Italy
Beast Without Beauty – Carlo Massari – ph. Davide Colagiacomo

OPEN REHEARSAL
The young choreographer Carlo Massari draws inspiration from Samuel Beckett’s Theatre of the Absurd and his Happy Days to narrate the trap of the existential condition. On stage an authentic plunge into non-sense, an irreverent, cynical study on the archetypes of human misery, on inexpressiveness, on the despicable cruelty in interpersonal relationships. Pale faces, bloodless, dehumanised and exhausted figures face each other in an icy duel; at stake is the affirmation of a role, an identity, a social position, with no holds barred.

An irreverent, cynical study of the archetypes of human misery, of inexpressiveness, of despicable cruelty in interpersonal relationships. Losers in a superficial relationship face each other in an icy duel; at stake is the affirmation of a role, an identity, a social position, survival. There are no rules, everything is allowed: we lend ourselves to be prey, designated victims of the other, we are aware of it, we are just waiting for it to happen, and in turn we are ready to pounce, offend, cleave, crush, tear, to mercilessly finish him off, but without getting our hands dirty.
A perverse aristocratic game of double-crossing, of abuse; a hidden, unspoken, pastel-coloured violence that leads irretrievably to slaughter, to extinction; there will be no winners, only losers. Of all the fussing, nothing happens…. And so we implode, unable to get back up, we abandon ourselves but being careful not to ruin our hairdo, smudge our make-up, crease our suits, not to lose dignity lest we suffer acts of cannibalism, be devoured by others, by our emptiness, by the deaf silence. An attempt to physically recount the evil of living, the Beckettian paralysis: a man deluded, desperate to the point of becoming insensitive, now unable to take charge of his life and remove it from the misery in which he has become mired. A comedy of the absurd (in which we suffer the absurd in spite of ourselves) with the existentialist and post-existentialist flavour of Beckett’s theatre, perfectly expressed in his ‘Happy Days‘.
An authentic plunge into non-sense, a black irony counterpointing the emaciated pallor of the faces, a fascination in the absurdity of the scenes, in the estrangement from human participation in the actions, in the facts; bloodless figures, devoid of energy, exhausted and dehumanised, as at the end of a long war, who know they have served no purpose except to do themselves and their own useless harm, to become cynical and opportunistic in the face of death to the point of contradicting themselves and betraying their playmates.

Il giovane coreografo Carlo Massari si ispira al teatro dell’assurdo di Samuel Beckett e al suo Giorni felici per raccontare la trappola della condizione esistenziale. In scena un autentico tuffo nel non-sense, un irriverente, cinico studio sugli archetipi della miseria umana, sull’inespressività, sulla spregevole crudeltà nelle relazioni interpersonali. Volti pallidi, figure esangui, disumanizzate e stremate che si affrontano in un algido duello; in palio c’è l’affermazione di un ruolo, un’identità, una posizione sociale, senza esclusione di colpi.

YELED - SHOOT ME
2023-04-27 19:00 - 20:30, 2023-04-28 19:00 - 20:30 | National Dance Theatre, Kis Rókus u. 16-20, Budapest, 1024, Ungheria
For the first time Aterballetto dances in Budapest. On stage YELED and SHOOT ME, by the two young choreographers Eyal Dadon and Diego Tortelli.
YELED, a Hebrew word meaning “child,” brings to the stage Israeli choreographer Eyal Dadon’s reflection, together with Aterballetto dancers, on the moment in life when we come to lose the innocence of children.
SHOOT ME, by our resident choreographer Diego Tortelli, on the other hand, is a frontal work that aims to put the dancers on stage and the audience in the stalls in a direct exchange relationship: a game of seduction, of glances, of sweat, an assault on the senses and an ode to the body, to breathing the same air, sweat, tears, fury, pride.
The performance is in the framework of the 10th International Theatre Olympics in partnership with Istituto Italiano di Cultura in Budapest.

MicroDanze - urban setting
2023-05-06 15:30 - 18:30 | Musei Civici Eremitani, Piazza Eremitani, 8, Padova, 35121, Italia
In the setting of the Musei Civici of Padua, within the Prospettiva Danza Teatro Festival, we present MicroDanze – urban setting:
6 May 2023 – 15.30 / 16.30 / 17.30
MicroDanze, in a route curated by Lara Guidetti, are performed by young dancers from the advanced training courses Agora Coaching Project and Studio XL of Reggio Emilia.
MicroDanze - urban setting
MicroDanze is an ambitious project of “danced” performances. Conceived by Gigi Cristoforetti, the project comes from an invitation by the Fondazione Palazzo Magnani in Reggio Emilia to develop and explore different ways of enjoying dance performance.
Choreographers – national and international – have conceived short pieces (six to eight minutes, to be danced in a tiny space), which can be watched in succession as if one were visiting a museum. A project that escapes the dynamics of the stage, the distance that separates the spectator from the performer, creating a continuum between the onlooker and the watched, soliciting an emotional and aesthetic experience as varied as it is original.
Some MicroDanze have been the focus of a process ofreenactment: a transposition of the original versions for young dancers and public spaces aimed at creating an urban version.

The result is a project that creatively wanders between very different contexts – historical centres, industrial areas, residual spaces, symbolic places in cities – defining unusual stages and creating radically new opportunities to meet the public. The guiding thread is research into dance as a form of living, in relation to contemporary artistic practices that are rooted in the territory.
In Padua, the route – curated by Lara Guidetti – passes through the Civic Museums allowing different experiences of space, whose works sometimes resonate in the choreographies. An opportunity to experience a unique encounter with dance and visual art.

Struggle for the soul - Welcome to my funeral - OPEN REHEARSAL
2023-05-12 18:00 - 19:00 | Fonderia, via della Costituzione, 39, Reggio Emilia, 42124, Italy
OPEN REHEARSAL
The increasingly interesting company Equilibrio Dinamico returns to the Fonderia with two new productions.
Struggle for the Soul is the new creation by company director Roberta Ferrara. The choreography represents on stage the inner dissension present in each of us.
Welcome to my funeral is the production by Brandon Lagaert, an artist who has been collaborating for years with the internationally renowned dance theatre company Peeping Tom. The creation is also supported by the Fondazione Nazionale della Danza / Aterballetto.

Struggle for the Soul
Studio
Choreography: Roberta Ferrara
Dancers: Antonello Amati and Olivia Grassot
The study focuses on the ongoing battle between our ﬁxed body and our eternal spirit. The performers seek peaceful coexistence as if there were two great wolves living inside each of them: one white, the other black.
If they choose to feed them both, they will never fight for each other’s attention and will be able to use each of them as needed. Since there will be no war between the two, one will be able to listen to the deeper voice of one’s own consciousness. Two great forces within us co-exist and if we regard them with equal respect, they will both be victorious and coexist in peace.
A man who achieves inner peace has everything. A man who is torn apart by the war that is fought within him is nothing. I ask myself: how is this battle going for each of you?

Co-production: Fondazione Fabbrica Europa per le arti contemporanee ETS, ResExtensa/Centro di produzione della danza Porta d’Oriente SPA
Production support: Fondazione Nazionale della Danza/Aterballetto
The performance focuses on the increasingly blurred boundaries between the real and virtual worlds.
Dependence on technology has completely changed the way we interact with people and the real world around us. The virtual world is becoming more and more realistic thanks to haptic feedback, artificial intelligence, and algorithms that acquire information from people through their input.
Older generations claim to have grown up in a Jurassic era, although even they would struggle without technology as simple as electricity.
How do you use technology to feed your ego?
How does one use technology to create unique bonds with others or manipulate strangers?
EQUILIBRIO DINAMICO
Equilibrio Dinamico, founded in 2011 by its current artistic director Roberta Ferrara and now based in Bari, has placed itself in the spotlight for being unique on the Italian dance scene.
Right from the start, in fact, Roberta Ferrara aimed to build a contemporary repertoire company with an international scope by calling upon several choreographers to create world premieres. Jiří Pokorný, Igor Kirov, Matthias Kass & Clément Bugnon, Marco Blázquez, Riccardo Buscarini, and Aida Vainieri are just a few of the signatures that have followed to compose the cahier de danse.
In addition to celebrating its tenth anniversary, in 2021 Equilibrio Dinamico Dance Company was recognised by the Ministry of Culture as a Production Body for Under35 Dance, the only organisation in the Region of Puglia, and in May 2022 it will be presented in the context of the NID-New Italian Dance Platform in Salerno, the platform that brings together the best of Italian dance to be exported abroad.
Equilibrio Dinamico is annually programmed in seasons and festivals in Europe, America and Asia. In addition, Equilibrio Dinamico develops collateral projects for the training and promotion of the public by creating a close collaboration with the promotion body Teatro Pubblico Pugliese.
