Stanze Rooms
An itinerant site-specific performance specially conceived for the new layout of the Pinacoteca Tosio Martinengo in Brescia.

The resident choreographer of the Fondazione Nazionale della Danza / Aterballetto, Diego Tortelli, custom-designs an original creation for the spaces of the Pinacoteca Tosio Martinengo. A tribute to a special place in his hometown, somehow linked to the idea of a memory that starts from childhood. An important sign of artistic vitality born from the collaboration between two of the major Italian cultural institutions, Brescia Musei and the Fondazione Nazionale della Danza / Aterballetto.

STANZE ROOMS
Stanze Rooms is a site-specific itinerant performance. Diego Tortelli starts from the suggestions of the new setting up of the rooms of the Pinacoteca and imagines a choreographic and musical path, where history and innovation meet. For the choreographer, the museum is where we keep our memories, and it is to this special place that he wants to entrust all those duets and solos that have never been performed, but which have been a fundamental part of his research. Small choreographic collections that had ended up in a drawer and now come back to life with a new value and a different maturity, surrounded by the works of art and the wonderful places of the Pinacoteca.
The spectators will enter into an exciting close relationship with the dancers, accompanied by Daniela Savoldi‘s cello, and will experience in a special way the significant collection of Brescian and Italian paintings, reorganised through a new exhibition pathway ranging from the late Gothic to the early 19th century.

Under the Flesh by Bassam Aboud Diab is a contemporary dance performance, a personal reflection that investigates how the human body reacts to situations of war and danger and how this survival instinct can be expressed in a dance with its own specific technique.
The performance will be followed by a talk with the audience conducted by Mattia Mariani, director of Telereggio, on how the artist sees the transformations of society and how culture affects them.

SYNOPSIS
In 1996 the war came back and it was a long time since I had met my friends, the bombing. My friends this time were much more sophisticated and strong than previous times and it had been a long time since I had used the fall strategy. I took note of the change and elaborated the strategy again trying not to die.
The second strategy is to let your body go to the end, you take advantage of the moment to go to the extreme part of your body / the extreme boundary of your body and avoid the danger. Actually it is not a strategy but I was trying to celebrate it because I got a new pair of shoes from European aid. The best part of a war are the gifts, games and donations that we usually receive after every war but in that case my neighbor received more gifts because his parents died during the war.
During the year 2000 I changed. New ideas in mind about the relationship between cultures, the body, death and rituals. My new strategy is to bring together traditions and identities to create a particular taste and a whole new meaning for existence.
In 2006 things got more difficult. I was forced to use a huge number of strategies to survive. Pain and death were just music to me. I think the time is over and you are thinking that I said a lot of stupid things but the most important thing is that you try to discover your own strategies.

PERFORMANCE CANCELLED

Feeling Good, the duet by Diego Tortelli for a disabled dancer and a not-disabled dancer, is at Fonderia for the first time.
For this performance starring Cristian Cucco and Annemieke Mooij.
The creation, a co-production by Fondazione Nazionale della Danza / Aterballetto and Oriente Occidente Dance Festival, as part of EBA Europe Beyond Access, co-funded by the European Union’s Creative Europe Programme, is presented during an evening dedicated to the relationship between dance and disability, enriched by the projection of short films related to the theme and by a conversation on the Italian panorama between the director of the Fondazione Gigi Cristoforetti and the general director of Oriente Occidente Anna Consolati.
Feeling Good is within the project by the Fondazione Nazionale della Danza / Aterballetto “Danza e Fragilità”, supported by Gruppo Credem in partnership with Reggio Emilia Città senza Barriere and Consorzio Oscar Romero.

YELED / SHOOT ME
2022-04-27 20:30 - 22:00 | Teatro Municipale Valli, Piazza Martiri del 7 luglio, Reggio Emilia, 42121, Italia
Aterballetto premieres two new productions in its hometown Reggio Emilia.
YELED and SHOOT ME, by the two young choreographers Eyal Dadon and Diego Tortelli, will make their debut at the Teatro Municipale Romolo Valli on 27 April 2022.
YELED, the Hebrew word for “kid”, brings to the stage the thoughts that the Israeli choreographer Eyal Dadon has developed, together with the dancers of Aterballetto, about that moment in our lives when we lose childhood innocence.
SHOOT ME, by our resident choreographer Diego Tortelli, is instead a work that wants to create a direct dialogue between the dancers on stage and the audience in the auditorium: a game of seduction, of looks, of sweat, an assault on the senses and an ode to the body, to breathing the same air, sweat, tears, fury, pride.

Feeling Good
2022-04-28 20:30 - 22:00 | Teatro Carcano, Corso di Porta Romana, 63, Milano, MI, 20122, Italia
Feeling Good, il duetto di Diego Tortelli per un danzatore abile e un danzatore disabile, è al Teatro Carcano di Milano nella più ampia programmazione di PRESENTI ACCESSIBILI, evento italiano organizzato da Oriente Occidente all’interno della rete Europe Beyond Access, il più grande progetto al mondo sull’accessibilità dell’arte e della cultura.
Accanto a Feeling Good, poetico duetto sull’abilità di “essere” e di “sentire”, in scena c’è anche il lavoro Fine Lines della coreografa Roser López Espinosa per la compagnia svedese Skånes Dansteater, in cui due figure femminili delicate e potenti al tempo stesso si incontrano lasciando emergere i confini delle relazioni.
E ancora, pioniera dell’integrazione a livello professionale di danzatori abili e disabili, la Candoco Dance Company ci accompagna nel repertorio contemporaneo con una pietra miliare: Set and Reset creato dalla grande Trisha Brown nel 1983.

Eva.
Etimologicamente la madre dei viventi, lei che ha scelto la vita.
Non peccato ma virtù originale: alla paura ha preferito la curiosità, all’obbedienza la scoperta.
Precorritrice di libertà, anticipatrice di indipendenza, colei che ci ha insegnato che chi cerca vive in eterno.
Storia nuda, madre sana, sorella coraggiosa, al suo gesto hanno abbinato il buio, ma dove fu veramente il torto?
Oggi siamo lei e il nostro corpo libero racconta una storia che continua sulla sua traccia.
Omaggio facciamo Ad Eva.

Solution. From Latin solutiònem, past participle of the verb sòlvere. To dissolve, dissolution. In its figurative meaning: breaking or stopping.
Words, if you know how to read them, can always tell you something about the life flow we are all in. The search for the perfect solution is endless: ‘Get us out of the problem!’ the crowd shouts.
A beginning is certainly not followed by an end, and this impossible contact may represent the possibility of crossing a border: mental, parabolic, hyperbolic. Move away from the extreme nature of your “black or white”, immerse yourself in the river and keep swimming, look around and learn with others.
A solution is not the final step towards your happiness, try to find the way to bring the people you care about back together. Gestures, nods, emotions flow from you to the others. In order to move forward, you have to be driven by your desire to discover more. Swim. Seamlessly.

XL DANCE COMPANY
It was born in Reggio Emilia under the artistic direction of Emanuela Baratin and Laura Matano.
The aim of the dance company is to create performances by circulating choreographers and international realities. In XL Dance Company, the movement, the body, the gestures become matter and surface for the individual and collective expression, instruments of choreographic experimentation through methods and techniques supporting a creativity born from intuitions, resonances and perceptions. The productions reflect the DNA of XL Dance Company, which makes contamination between styles its distinctive feature. Open to innovation, the dancers perform in important national and international festivals and theatres.

Corpi Violati

OPEN REHEARSAL
The choreographic project was born from the desire to focus attention on the theme of violence against women, and from Artemis Danza’s long-standing collaboration with the Anti-Violence Centres of the D.I.Re Network (Women in the Network Against Violence).

Synopsis
“Never shall Carmen yield! She was born free and she will die free.” “I shall always be free”. These are the hymns to freedom by Carmen, the protagonist of Prosper Mérimée’s novel and Georges Bizet’s opera, and Violetta Valéry in Giuseppe Verdi’s La Traviata. Figures of women who are symbols of independence of thought, strength and courage and at the same time fragility in the face of violence and abuse. Their freedom, as in so many other cases, is punished, violated, with tragic results. The project “Corpi violati” by the Compagnia Artemis Danza, founded and directed by Monica Casadei, is inspired by the many stories of gender violence told in literature and melodrama, only a small number compared to the infinite number of stories in the daily news.
The choreographic project stems from the desire to draw attention to the issue of violence against women, and from Artemis Danza’s long-standing collaboration with the Anti-Violence Centres of the D.I.Re Network (Women in networks against violence).
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.

Costume designed by GIUSEPPE SPOTA and made by NUVIA VALESTRI
We lose ourselves in a flood of futility, only to experience moments of true beauty, lucidity and fragility. In a constant non-listening, we react to the domino effect triggered by our elected leaders of the moment, only to find ourselves empty and fragile.
PICCOLI RITI NOTTURNI

The first walk in a dark wood. The first moonlight swim. The first party, the first encounters and disencounters (loving or not) … to be a little older the next day…
Nighttime rituals that with hindsight appear small, but how can we forget the emotion that made them appear immense?
Excerpts from BOLERO
Choreography MICHELE MEROLA
Music MAURICE RAVEL / STEFANO CORRIAS
Costume design NUVIA VALESTRI
Assistant to the choreographer PAOLO LAURI
A clockwork mechanism of rigorous precision, Bolero (1928) is still one of the best known and most listened to pieces in the history of music. On stage is a choreographic version of Bolero created by Merola for Agora Coaching Project, inspired by the one created for MMContemporary Dance Company. The choreographer confronted this obsessive and repetitive music, trying to understand its identity, reason and function, to arrive at his interpretation: at the end of this path the inspiration focused on the inexhaustible range of human relationships. In the choreography, fears, repressed desires, existential shocks that reveal entire universes, secret ties that exist between people are projected from the inside out, and irony gives way to fear, love to disenchantment, detachment to sharing, and so on, between crescendo and diminuendo, like the music of the Bolero.
Stefano Corrias spoke on this same music, with the licence and inventiveness that are the true mark of every artist. As a refined and experienced composer, aware of the demands of the stage, Corrias created his own musical score, freely inspired by the original version of Ravel’s piece. The new score was composed by carefully analysing the pages of Bolero, and integrates perfectly with it.

Don Juan
2022-05-13 20:30 - 22:10 | Teatro Comunale L. Pavarotti, Via del Teatro, 8, Modena, MO, 41121, Italia
Aterballetto performs in Modena Don Juan, the 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.

MicroDanze - Reenactment
2022-05-21 14:00 - 2022-05-22 18:30 | Bruxelles, Bruxelles, Belgio
In the framework of the Creative Europe An Ideal City project, on 21 and 22 May the MicroDances will restart their tour from where they left off, at their partner Les Halles de Schaerbeek in Brussels, before continuing to Reggio Emilia (10-12 June) and Athens (17 June).
Some of the MicroDances are at the center of a process of reenactment: a transposition of the original versions for young dancers and public spaces aimed at the creation of an urban version that can interpret the spirit and characteristics of the three cities involved.
In Brussels the 8 MicroDances re-enacted are surrounded in the urban landscape of the Tour & Taxis area. The performances are on 21 and 22 May (h 14.00-15.30-17.00).
Discover more about the reenactment here.
MicroDances & Urban Mutations
In Brussels, MicroDances are rooted in an urban landscape that beats at two different rhythms.
Tachycardique in Tour & Taxis, a trade centre and former industrial freight station located along the canal.
Biorythmique in the Coulée verte, a green trail grounded in the living beings and the knowledge buried beneath the metropolis.
For two decades, the land, which was abandoned at the end of the twentieth century, has been fuelling the imaginations of town planners, artists, architects, circus performers, promoters, gardeners, and developers.
A massive urban project will be completed in 2022. The land has the appearance of wrinkled skin. The soil is worn out. Neighbours, runners, children, cyclists, and pets and their owners are crossing public, semi-public, private, common, and liminal zones.
Who are we? A melting pot of Brussels citizens experimenting with body-landscape interactions. Among us, eight dancers were chosen by Les Halles for their multidisciplinary and outdoor skills. After participating in a European workshop, they will perform six MicroDances shaped by Italian and Greek choreographers during the Covid crisis.
Each MicroDance is a microworld, a dialogue with the open space. A sort of acupuncture in which each point calls for a shared story told by watchmen who weave connections between the spirits of the location, passers-by, and the present moment.
With their disquieting beauty, the MicroDances’ journeys from the underground to the surface are an essential part of the vital art of healing our connections to places.

Parckfarm greenhouse

At Parckfarm greenhouse, we grow the land, the connections, and the creativity to restore the resources of the uprooted metropolis. There, a woman is looking for a place to call home. But she is losing herself when her head invades her body.

Gare Maritime

At the maritime station, a temple of commercial reconversion and food concepts,
two characters emerge from an above-ground café to exorcise plastic, a polluter of bodies that have become objects.

The Land relic

At the exit, let’s meditate in front of the scraps of land that were stripped from the ground before development began. The majesty of simple things.

My Body trio - OPEN REHEARSAL
2022-05-21 18:00 - 19:00 | Fonderia, via della Costituzione, 39, Reggio Emilia, 42124, Italy
OPEN REHEARSAL

My Body trio focuses on the existential question.
What do we do? How are we? Alone, with others, with things, with the world…
What do we do with this life, in this body, in this situation?
It wonders what directions it can take and in what forms it can embody the human vitalism that belongs to us and in which we are immersed.

SYNOPSIS
An affirmation of life.
An unarmed acceptance of our fragility, vulnerability and precariousness. Everything we are and do is always one step away from the limit.
A path more related to human composition than to choreography.
A search for the intimate truth between three human beings, between three bodies: the first possible group.
A search for life, free of ideological or intellectual superstructures. An attempt to reveal in a pure way what moves us, towards others and towards the world.

STEFANIA TANSINI
Born in 1991, in Ponte dell’Olio (PC).
After studying artistic gymnastics and ballet, in 2014 she graduated as a dancer at the Scuola D’Arte Drammatica Paolo Grassi, under the academic direction of Marinella Guatterini. Her encounters with Enzo Cosimi, Dominique Dupuy, Cesc Gelabert, Jonah Bokaer and Maria Consagra were fundamental.
In 2014 she took part in Dario Fo and Franca Rame’s production Storia di Q and started working as a dancer in all Simona Bertozzi’s productions: Animali senza favola (2014), Prometeo: Contemplazione (2015), Prometeo: il Dono (2015), Prometeo: Astronomia (2016), And It Burns Burns Burns (finalist of the 2017 UBU Danza Prize) and in the solo Flow On River (2018).
In 2016 she began working with Luca Veggetti for the performances Non essere, una tentazione (2017), Quarto personaggio (2018), L’inferno dello sguardo (2019), Infinito Nero (2021) and with Ariella Vidach for Temporaneo Tempobeat.
She had some experiences in video-dance (Interferenze, short film, L’isola sbagliato, film, Piano Social, music video by musician Francesco Orio) and in 2017 she was called by Romeo Castellucci to take part in his new production Democracy in America and in 2018 in The Magic Flute, opera directed by Castellucci and choreographed by Cindy Van Acker.
In 2020 he began working with Motus, in the production Tutto Brucia.
He worked with Emanuela Tagliavia, in Hopper Variations (2014) and Combustioni (2015), and with Mette Sterre (curator Robert Wilson) in the performance Structurealist (2015).
She collaborated with Corona-Events as a stilt-walker, choreographer and assistant director.
Other significant encounters: Roberta Mosca, Yasmine Hugonnet, Raffaella Giordano, Michalis Theophanous, Cristina Rizzo, Jan Fabre.
She has always been accompanied by the need and desire for an authorial path of research on the body and movement.

IN/FINITO
2022-05-26 18:30 - 20:00 | Ennejma Ezzahra, 8, rue du 2 mars 1934, Tunisi, Tunisia
Following an invitation by the Italian Cultural Institute of Tunis, the Fondazione Nazionale della Danza / Aterballetto is back to dance in the Tunisian capital after eighteen years since its last performance, dating back to 2004. On Thursday 26 May, Tunis will host the final stop of In/Finito, a dance and photography project for urban, natural or historical spaces, born in Reggio Emilia in 2018 from an idea of FND director Gigi Cristoforetti, in collaboration with Fotografia Europea and in partnership with Fondazione Palazzo Magnani.
After Reggio Emilia, Capri, Bologna, Milan, Athens and Paris, Tunis will represent the artistic conclusion of the In/Finito project. For this occasion, the artist of Greek-Tunisian origin Marianne Catzaras will photograph the six performances set in significant places in the city, chosen by the Italian Cultural Institute of Tunis.

MicroDanze - urban setting

In the framework of the Creative Europe An Ideal City project, the MicroDances are in Reggio Emilia on 10-12 June.
In the past months some of the MicroDances were at the center of a process of reenactment: a transposition of the original versions for young dancers and public spaces aimed at the creation of an urban version that can interpret the spirit and characteristics of the three cities involved: Reggio Emilia, Athens and Brussels.
Find out more about reenactment here.
In Reggio Emilia, the 8 MicroDances that are the subject of the reenactment are immersed in an urban route that starts in the historic centre and stops at the Parco Innovazione on the northern outskirts of the town.
Protagonists of the performances are the young talents from the advanced training courses Agora Coaching Project and Studio XL.
In addition to the urban MicroDances route, other events are organised from 10 to 12 June to discover public art and the city itself.
An Ideal City | Reggio Emilia is curated by Costanza Meli.

MicroDances - Urban Route
Eight 8 MicroDances are performed in Reggio Emilia along a path that links its historic city center both physically and symbolically with the new area of urban renewal and development known as Parco Innovazione, the former industrial area previously occupied by Officine Meccaniche Reggiane. The route winds through the city’s pedestrian island with locations to stop and witness the performances on a path that takes around two hours to complete.
For two days (10 and 12 June), these MicroDances will be staged in places of strategic significance and areas of passage between the town center and its outskirts on a journey to rediscovering and redefining Reggio Emilia’s social, cultural, and historical heritage of the past and present.
The presentation throughout the city is at the disposal of both casual audiences that encounter the performances by chance and those who decide to follow its seven itineraries and discover how dance suits the city’s locations of greatest social, historical, and future relevance.
The Project combines the languages of dance and public art in developing its ideal of the inclusive, dynamic, and experimental city, one that takes part by placing all its various forms of energy into relationship and working for a shared objective. No city is ever ideal, however: each is real and keeps growing also in the circulation of knowledge and experiences among its citizens, especially those who consider the dimension of the community and shared space a precious asset. With this aspiration, An Ideal City – Reggio Emilia decided to create a network of collaborations with institutional partners, associations, and local actors and actresses to animate the city’s social and cultural life in different ways.
In its urban version, An Ideal City involves the reenactment of the MicroDances with participation from the Peri-Merulo Conservatory, the K-Lab community tailory, the SemiLiberi social carpentry shop set up inside a prison by Cooperativa L’Ovile and the Via Roma Citizens’ Committee in creating essential parts of performance stage design and choreography and others required for the enjoyment of the city’s events and cultural heritage by the public at large.

MICRODANZE - REENACTMENT
2022-06-17 17:30 - 21:00 | Agricultural University of Athens, Iera Odos 75, Atene, 11855, Grecia
In the framework of the Creative Europe An Ideal City project, the MicroDances are in Athens on 17 June.
In the past months some of the MicroDances were at the center of a process of reenactment: a transposition of the original versions for young dancers and public spaces aimed at the creation of an urban version that can interpret the spirit and characteristics of the three cities involved: Reggio Emilia, Athens and Brussels.
Find out more about reenactment here.
In Athens, the 8 MicroDances that are the subject of the reenactment are immersed in the indoor and outdoor spaces of the city’s Agricultural University.
Protagonists of the performances are the young talents from the professional dance school of the Greek National Opera.
Performances are on 17 June at 17.30-18.30-19.30.

MicroDanze - urban route

As the European project An Ideal City enters the phase of the recast of MicroDances for the public space – Athens is introducing those dance reenactments as re-enchantments:
a reminder of the agency of the natural within the cultural, a visit out into patterns of difference, a walk through the web of life that nourishes (para)urban realities, artistic creation, the more-than-human communities.
Eight of the short dance performances that were presented within museum spaces in 2021, are reconfigured and will unfold at the premises of the Agricultural University of Athens (AUA).
The third oldest public university in Greece, is situated within the beating heart of the capital and covers a sprawling area of botanical gardens, greenhouses, cultivated fields, animal shelters, barns, vineyards, beekeeping and compost units, conservation laboratories, teaching halls, a museum and a library, important material archives, student hubs, seed depositories, a treasure of artistic-scientific representations of Greek flaura.
AUA is emblematic in that it shares the historic and re-developing area of Votanikos (Botanical Gardens) with, both abandoned and new small businesses, with reconfigured industrial units and independent art spaces, with night-clubs and houses.
Its academic units spread across both sides of the ‘Sacred Way’ (Iera Odos) that connected Athens to Eleusis – the ancient center of the cult of Mysteries – and are bordering with the important archaeological sites of Kerameikos and Plato’s Academy.
If it is true that no city can be ‘ideal’ and no art can be about change unless they are animated by cosmoecological mindfulness and fertile pedagogies, the Athens MicroDances are engaging with the active laboratory of the urban body, its long-term economies and precarious circumstances.
They are moving us through the locus of this major Greek agricultural Institution with the international outreach, as if within the open ‘stomach’ of the city and its multiple networks. There where the politics of food meet the future of care-full thought and creative ecologies are growing in study, in the cultivation of everyday, embodied cosmopolitics.
Each of the reenacted dance pieces emerges organically from within this rich eco-system. Each offers a pause and a celebration of various functions and their symbiotic value:

the architecturally imposing central square;
the central building hall with the preserved ancient olive tree;
the old side-yard;
the semi-hidden Flower Nursery;
the glass Floriculture Greenhouse;
the meandering interstitial spaces;
the area of arboriculture;
the tractor shed near the old arboretum, the blooming alleys and forking pathways, the busy student body, the polyphony of life, the roaming nature of knowledge.

Immersed in the paradox of a rural atmosphere within a contemporary city scape we can be reminded of the very roots of the idea of the city, the response-ability of the bodies that shape its future, the wild that always lives at the heart of the domestic.

Another Story
2022-06-23 20:00 - 20:15 | Giardino Pomario del Castello dell’Acciaiolo, via Pantin 63, Scandicci, FI, 50018, Italia
Another Story, the duet by Diego Tortelli, is at Scandicci, near Florence, for the festival Nutida.
Another Storytells the new story of the most feared and at the same time desired gesture of 2020: the hug. A gesture as simple as a hug has been transformed into the most hidden desire and at the opposite into an almost “terrorist” act, without losing its deep meaning of carnal sharing. Another Story becomes a solitary, shared, violent, painful, tiring and also desired, hidden, intimate embrace. What choreographer Diego Tortelli intends to do is to write another story to be mutually felt and observed by performer and spectator.

SHOOT ME - BLISS
2022-06-28 21:30 - 22:45 | Chiostro Grande Santa Maria Novella, Piazza Santa Maria Novella, 18, Firenze, 50123, Italia
At the 33rd edition of the Florence Dance Festival Aterballetto dances SHOOT ME, the latest choreography by Diego Tortelli, for the first time on stage since its debut in April 2022. On the strong rhythms of the English rock group Spiritualized, mixed with poems recited by Jim Morrison, the 16 dancers with glittery hair create on stage a dizzying game of seduction, glances and complicity with the audience.
BLISS is one of the company’s hits, created by award-winning Swedish choreographer Johan Inger. The choreography, accompanied by the notes of Keith Jarrett’s famous and iconic Köln Concert, is a true hymn to the joy of dancing. The euphoria of the performers is a pleasure to behold, so captivating and powerful that it is still charming theatres all over the world since 2016.

DIVINO_PRIMA APPARIZIONE
2022-07-05 19:30 - 20:00
COMPAGNIA NATISCALZI DT
For choreographers Tommaso Monza and Claudia Rossi Valli, the word ‘divine’ is not synonymous with ‘religious’. The project questions where the sense of the divine resides in everyday urban life and wants to do so by confronting itself with the generation of rappers and trappers under 25, who will be the backbone of the project. The word in metrics conceived as “The Word” and its flow, the parallelism of theatre and dance with the metrics of rap in an attempt to generate an aesthetic short-circuit.
The performance is within the summer festival DANZA AI CHIOSTRI curated by Fondazione Nazionale della Danza / Aterballetto and Fondazione I Teatri di Reggio Emilia.

GERSHWIN SUITE | SCHUBERT FRAMES
2022-07-05 21:30 - 22:45
MM CONTEMPORARY DANCE COMPANY
An evening dedicated to music is the one proposed by the company directed by Michele Merola. On the notes of famous pieces, but also on more intimate and seductive music by the American composer, Merola looks to the 20th century and the atmosphere of the Roaring Twenties, drawing inspiration from the dynamic compositions of George Gershwin and the realistic and almost ‘cinematographic’ painting of Edward Hopper. Schubert frames is a work full of poetic images by Enrico Morelli, who lets himself be enveloped by the delicate and moving music of Franz Schubert.
The performance is within the summer festival DANZA AI CHIOSTRI curated by Fondazione Nazionale della Danza / Aterballetto and Fondazione I Teatri di Reggio Emilia.

The notes of George Gershwin (1898-1937), one of the most representative musicians of the 20th century, reflect the spirit of the time in which they were created, with the moods and atmospheres of the Roaring Twenties. Starting with the composer’s best pieces and suggestions from the pictorial works of another great 20th century American artist, Edward Hopper (1882-1967), Michele Merola has created Gershwin Suite, whose soundtrack anthologises the author’s most captivating pages, such as, among others, Summertime, which seals the show and recurs in several moments and in different versions, and Rhapsody in Blue. But it is not only the lush and lively music that attracts the choreographer: Merola chooses Gershwin’s music in its various facets, not only the more euphoric and brilliant pieces, but also the more romantic and intimate, sensual and seductive ones. A new composition by Stefano Corrias welds it all together, a musical carpet that gives unity to the rich mosaic of scents, now overflowing with dynamism, now fully lyrical, suspended in rethinking and thickened in melancholy. Another authorial contribution to the realisation of the show was made by Cristina Spelti, who designed the lighting and set design, and co-wrote the concept with Merola.

Some scenes are therefore inspired by the connection between the composer’s various pieces and various paintings – such as New York Movie, Soir Bleu, Summer in the City, People in the sun – by Edward Hopper, a painter who, thanks to his realism and his modus operandi of ‘framing’, is considered an artist very close to the world of photography and cinema, capable of poetically and evocatively depicting even humble and simple moments of everyday life.
“I was attracted” – says the choreographer – “by the painter’s ability to construct atmospheres and nuances that outline the implications and secrets of the human condition. The direction of the danced images and the staging of the scenes create characters and situations that are not determined once and for all, but open to different endings and solutions”.
Directly inspired by Hopper’s paintings, the intimacy of the pas de deux and solos are paraded, complemented by ensemble scenes, where the will to live and redemption from everyday life take over. On stage, so much variety takes on the guise of a film set, thanks to a set design that changes constantly, just like a set, and a choreography that touches several keys, thanks to the versatility of the choreographer, who is able to apply his creativity and talent in step with contemporary times.
SCHUBERT FRAMES

Choreography: Enrico Morelli
Music: Franz Schubert

Costumes: Carlotta Montanari

Enrico Morelli wanted to entrust his new work to the extraordinary music of Franz Schubert: no one better than the Viennese composer was able to interpret the conflicting feelings of love, tension, melancholy, regret, but also hope.
A collage of Schubert’s celebrated pieces, extracts from real masterpieces of infinite beauty – composed two centuries ago, they still amaze today for their great topicality – 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 coming and going between crescendo and diminuendo, revealing entire universes and secret bonds.

The choreography has no pretence or descriptive ambition: it is an abstract tale of loneliness and kindred souls, in an era such as ours, tired, turbid, disenchanted, tormented by a malaise that hangs in the air, but also anxiously searching for meaning and hope for happiness. It is a story in which we focus above all on the moment of return, because happiness is a home to return to, perhaps changed, heedless of the accelerated speed of a present that frightens us and a future that we may be afraid to explore. The problem is not to arrive, but to return. Learning each time to love, again. Having the courage to recognise ourselves as fragile, and therefore generous in tenderness.
