From 14 to 17 October for 5 times the company dances Don Juan, the new full-length production conceived by Johan Inger.
The choreography is born from Inger’s desire to “face” Don Juan/Don Giovanni, an ancient and still contemporary, truly paradigmatic myth. Some of the works that inspired the choreographer are Tirso de Molina’s original comedy and the plays by Molière, Bertold Brecht and Suzanne Lilar. Inger, together with the playwright Gregor Acuña-Pohl, thoroughly read twenty-five different texts inspired by Don Juan.
This Don Juan features all the characters of the story, from Doña Elvira to Doña Ana to Zerlina and Masetto. The Don Juan is a Kammerspiel, where the dance is a magnifying glass for each of the characters revealing in a refined and clear way the inner world of men and women on stage
The tournée is supported by Regione Emilia-Romagna and Istituto Italiano di Cultura di Parigi.

The resident choreographer of the Fondazione Nazionale della Danza / Aterballetto, Diego Tortelli, designs a site-specific itinerant performance for some of the beautiful rooms of the Teatro Valli.
A tribute to a special place in the city of Reggio Emilia, a sign of artistic vitality in one of the most difficult periods experienced by the citizens and a reaffirmation of the central importance of the collaboration between two of the major Italian cultural institutions, I Teatri and Aterballetto.
Tortelli starts from the suggestions of light and colors of four extraordinary rooms of the Foyer of Valli and imagines a choreographic and musical path, which will bring together the public around the work Domus Aurea by visual artist Massimo Uberti, set design for the first creation of Tortelli for Aterballetto, a bright design of an ideal house within the context of an Ideal City.
For the occasion, Aterballetto will present the premiere of Another story, the new duet by Tortelli. The poetic cue from which his research starts is a gesture as simple as it is rich in complex, emotional and social nuances. The hug. It is no coincidence that one of the gestures lost, during the unusual flow of these months.
The evening is completed with some excerpts from Domus Aurea, choreography within the 2018 Bach Project diptych, and the rearrangement for two dancers of Aterballetto by Inter-view: Emanuele and Clément, presented at Fotografia Europea 2019.

THE PERFORMANCE IS CANCELLED.
Aterballetto dances at the Teatro Toniolo in Mestre BLISS/Secus: 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.
The curtain opens on 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.
Secus is a creation by Ohad Naharin that boasts a musical collage that extends 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 suitable backdrop for the boldly extravagant choreography. Under our unbelieving eyes, we compose a human alphabet made up of races, solos, clear and clean gestures, interrupted duets, which, through precise and sudden kicks, sinuous disarticulations of the hips, torsos that bend in all directions like rubber to be shaped, expresses pure emotions and feelings without becoming sentimental. Joy, vulnerability, fear, innocence, confusion and anger weave a harmonious and dynamic canvas that oscillates between delicacy and exaggeration.

Performance cancelled

Aterballetto dances in Schaffhausen, Switzerland, Don Juan, the new full evening production by Johan Inger.
The choreography comes from Inger’s desire to confront Don Juan, a paradigmatic myth that is both ancient and still contemporary. 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 consulted twenty-five different texts inspired by the character.
In the creation we find all the characters of the story, from Donna Elvira to Donna Anna to Zerlina and Masetto. Don Juan can be considered a Kammerspiel, with its ability to emphasise nuances and emotions: and in the case of this creation, dance becomes a magnifying glass for the individual characters, subtly but clearly revealing the inner world of the men and women on stage.

Here is the greeting you were meant to be.
I awaited it with understanding because in all our things there were sentences and redemptions.
In it is included the desire to which I had to return and which I had to keep. A
resolute control of aspirations so as not to become a victim of them.
You are without siege, and I am no longer a smile but winter.
Cover yourself too.
You said that every body seeks, calls, must fulfil itself.
It is true, here is the ritual to go.
I feel that you want to drag me into your space but I choose to return to myself, in symbiosis
with my wide gestures and without constraints. Until they are fulfilled we will guard our
sleeps but stand in profile, to give access to nightmares.
Then I will open my hands as in a space of my own, without having yours around me trying to
take one last close look.

Surrendering to the earth with an exhausted gesture, the body turns into a closed century.
Let it go.
Intensity, delicacy, violence, sincerity, intimacy.
Take it all in again and cherish it. A game that never ends.
Each time, the pain, it is a great discovery. Dazzling, like a black star.
Something is missing, you begin to live without, as you search for life’s vanishing point.
You scrape the empty words, you invent a new language, you derive by subtraction.
It is fear that comes but it comes together with courage.
Courage. And courage.
They are needed.
To learn again where the cardinal points are and then the exact vertical.
To square the balance again.
You devour existence.
You twist.
A twist that digs into your side, necessary to re-emerge. In the meantime a weeping flows, heedless and in
in its way hospitable.
And you walk, you move forward in the disorder of destiny, you obey the failure of time that falls
on you without you being able to stop it.
It affects us all.
A compulsory, obligatory passage, you do not escape, the bridge has collapsed.
Count the hours, count the minutes.
Count the seconds.
In fact, look, hold your head with your hand when you hear too much noise inside.
Take your time.
Compelled state of necessity.
That’s it, you have to get through it before tomorrow.
And from tomorrow on, don’t forget it.

Fondazione Nazionale della Danza / Aterballetto gets back to dance in a theatre after 6 months.

The choreography is born from Inger’s desire to “face” Don Juan/Don Giovanni, an ancient and still contemporary, truly paradigmatic myth. Some of the works that inspired the choreographer are Tirso de Molina’s original comedy and the plays by Molière, Bertold Brecht and Suzanne Lilar. Inger, together with the playwright Gregor Acuña-Pohl, thoroughly read twenty-five different texts inspired by Don Juan.

Another story

Choreography Diego Tortelli
Music Spiritualized
Music consultant Federico Bigonzetti
Duration 13’ – For 2 dancers
Another story wants to tell the new story of the most feared and at the same time desired gesture of 2020, suffering from a global epidemic: the hug.
A gesture as simple as a hug has now been reinvented by adding infinite variations to its most basic meaning, transforming itself into the most hidden desire and, on the other side, into an almost “terrorist” act, without losing its deep meaning of actual carnal sharing.
Another story thus becomes a solitary hug, a shared hug, a violent, painful, tiring and also desired, hidden, intimate, idolised hug… the only prediction we cannot rely on is how this simple gesture will continue its mutation; what choreographer Diego Tortelli intends to do is to write another story for it to be felt and watched by both performer and spectator.
FND/Aterballetto – Another story – ph. Celeste Lombardi

PRELUDIO
Choreography Diego Tortelli
Music Nick Cave
Assistant to the choreographer Casia Vengoechea
Duration 16’ – For 5 dancers

PRELUDIO is a creation for 5 performers designed around some of the most intense songs by Australian singer-songwriter Nick Cave, one of the greatest exponents of Post Punk.
In his songs, Cave explores the interplay of themes such as love, “belief”, addiction, obsession and loss, crossing over each other as if he were telling a story, an experience that can be perceived by everyone through his use of notes or tone of voice. His strength is that it is not essential to fully understand the content or the source of inspiration in order to ‘hear’ and ‘be heard’. Through his work, Cave argues that we should not go to the theatre, to a concert, to a museum, in order to understand, but in order to ask questions and to enrich ourselves, to analyse ourselves.
In one of his pieces I found the question I wanted to ask myself for this creation: MAH SANCTUM (my belief).
What do I believe in? I believe in the ‘body’, I believe in its fragility and strength, in its limitation and expansion, in its capacity for change and constant transformation, I believe in its contemporaneity, but also in its capacity to continue to feel those emotions that have been handed down to us; I believe in its violent beauty and frightening fragility. In this work I research above all on these obsessions, compulsions, addictions, contrasts, transforming the bodies of the five dancers not into men and women, but into emotional impulses; impulses that are part of written poems of which it would be enough to understand that they do not end there on the stage.
PRELUDIO is my profane prayer, my love letter to the body, my credo for today.

Music Johann Sebastian Bach, Suites Francesi, transcribed by Giorgio Colombo Taccani
Eugène Ysaye, 6 Sonatas for Solo Violin, Op. 27: NO 2, Sonata in A Minor
Georges Ivanovitch Gurdjieff, Prayer of Gratitude
Domus Aurea is a space created through a continuous interweaving of the rational and the irrational.
This is the condition we live in, always poised between the certain and the uncertain, driven by the desire for change and the utopia of being able to at least touch perfection and freedom. And perhaps today this belongs only to art.
