La stella nascosta
2019-11-23 16:00 - 16:45 (Europe/Rome) | Teatro Diego Fabbri, Corso A. Diaz, 47, Forlì, FC, 47121, Italia
La stella nascosta, our dance performance for children, is at the Festival Aperto in Reggio Emilia.
La stella nascosta is the result of a long process of artistic and pedagogical research on the dialogue between the world of childhood and the languages of contemporary dance. La stella nascosta is a performance with 4 young dancers selected specifically for this choreography, which accompany children and adults on a journey of discovery of beauty outside the canons and media clichés. Saul Daniele Ardillo worked for over a year with playwright Simone Giorgi and an extraordinary team of Reggio Children (scientific partner of the research process), measuring himself with the experience of Accademia Perduta | Romagna Teatri (co-producer) and especially with the gaze and creativity of children’s classes.

INC InNprogressCollective
The group was founded in 2006 following the creation of “HEIM”, which will be the only overall winner of the International Dance Week in Spoleto, attracting the interest of many professionals. The choreography Heim will be hosted in the largest Italian festivals, including Amores (Bologna), Cross Roads (Florence), Giffoni Film Festival (Giffoni), Notte Bianca (Rome), Fringe Festival (Spoleto).
Hence the idea of creating a stable group of young artists, promoters of new forms of contemporary street art, urban dances and trends.
Production will follow: Departure (2007), Underskin (2008 – winner of the International Dance Week in Spoleto), Protest! (2009-2010 – winner of S.I.D.

In 2015 the toPRAY production debuts at the 58th edition of the Festival dei Due Mondi in Spoleto. Director Giuseppe Tornatore chooses the INC company for a dance scene from his film “La Corrispondenza”, which will be released in cinemas in January 2016.
Characterized by a surprising young age and a strong artistic fellowship, they are the supporters of an alliance, where talents and skills are shared, mixed and recomposed towards collective goals. Afshin Varjavandi’s productions dance and together with him they invent creations, styling and concepts for performances, installations and videos.

Insights
“He who knows the power of dance dwells in God.” Rumi
There is also a constant that we call T, for which that moment is intimate and individual, referring to the individual, not multipliable and not handed down. It is only one’s own eyes that exercise that vision. The constant T is a transcendent number. toPRAY does not speak of the constant T, but tells of the point of view from which one observes. toPRAY is a corridor: sometimes to reach the human soul the path is long and narrow. Other times contemporary man does not find the time to choose complex roads, to cross them the time he takes corresponds to the constant T. We cross the symbols that in history we have attributed to what we cannot see, to give life a different value, to recognize beyond the FORM a different level.
What does it mean to ‘pray’? We look for an answer in each ACTION. Perhaps acting itself is an act of worship: contemporary man acts on the body, drawing a cult from it. We always look for an answer, asking ourselves if in the end we are a soul that possesses a body. If what we have most sacred is the imagination through which we will be able to identify the soul in the course of life.
toPRAY is a show in which urban dances are mixed with contemporary gestures, producing a dance out of the box, out of time. The choreographic writing draws from multicultural calligraphy, resulting in a universal language: like the story of the soul of man. toPRAY is a human path built and lived with ups and downs, similar to the path of growth of a man. We dancers were asked more questions, to which we answered with gestures and movements; they were questions that contained complex, personal concepts. But in addition to the intense emotional value of personal moments, in the beginning, there is a particular intimacy between us dancers on stage and the choreographer, in moments of extreme choreographic rigor, which is characterized by the show throughout its duration.

OPEN REHEARSAL_PULCINELLA
In making his own version of Pulcinella, Michele Merola respects the past, but moves in his own way. The soundtrack is composed of some pieces of the ballet and the “excursions” of the composer Stefano Corrias. The contamination of the original score is dictated by the need to have more intimate moments to clarify who Punchinello really is: the choreographer wanted to highlight the solitary and melancholy side of the Neapolitan standard bearer.
“Pulcinella – says Merola – is also an image of loneliness, which never dies: it seems to die several times during the show, but then always gets up, because his freedom could be suffocated, but always comes back to life.”

MM CONTEMPORARY DANCE COMPANY
MM Contemporary Dance Company – winner in 2010 of the prestigious Dance & Dance Award and in 2017 of the Europaindanza Award – is a reality of excellence in Italian dance, with a consolidated activity of shows throughout the country. Founded in 1999 in Reggio Emilia and directed by Michele Merola, it has a rich and varied repertoire, thanks to the work of its director and European and Italian choreographers such as Mats Ek, Gustavo Ramirez Sansano, Karl Alfred Schreiner, Emanuele Soavi, Enrico Morelli, Eugenio Scigliano, Daniele Ninarello.
For some years now it has conquered an international market with shows in European and non-European countries (Korea, Colombia, Canada, Germany, Russia, Morocco…).

PULCINELLA
Nel realizzare la propria versione di Pulcinella, Michele Merola rispetta il passato, ma si muove per una propria strada. La colonna sonora è composta da alcuni brani del balletto e dalle “escursioni” del compositore Stefano Corrias. La contaminazione della partitura originale è dettata dall’esigenza di disporre di momenti più intimi per poter chiarire chi sia veramente Pulcinella: il coreografo ha voluto evidenziare il versante solitario e malinconico dell’alfiere napoletano.
“Pulcinella – dice Merola – è un’immagine anche di solitudine, che non muore mai: sembra morire più volte durante lo spettacolo, ma poi sempre si rialza, perché la sua libertà potrebbe essere soffocata, ma sempre torna a vivere.”
Lo spettacolo sarà introdotto dal professor Alessandro Pontremoli Ordinario di Storia della Danza all’Università di Torino.

INSIGHTS
The first performance of the ballet Pulcinella was at the Paris Opera in 1920, by Djagilev’s Ballets Russes; the music, by Igor Stravinskij, was inspired by pages by G. B. Pergolesi and other authors of the 17th and 18th centuries. The composer gives his own sign to the dancing pages in themselves, like so much music of the 18th century: in tune with the subject, he makes a gentle caricature of it, celebrated for the richness of its rhythms and the freshness of its harmonies, exalted by Leonide Massine, choreographer, and Pablo Picasso, for his scenes and costumes.
In creating his own version, Michele Merola respects the past, and the great masterpieces produced on the subject, but moves on his own path. The soundtrack is composed of some pieces of the ballet and the “excursions” made by the composer Stefano Corrias. The contamination of the original score is dictated by the need to have more intimate moments, more bare from the musical point of view, to be able to clarify who is really Pulcinella: the choreographer wanted to highlight in this work the solitary, melancholy and dramatic side of the Neapolitan standard bearer.
“Pulcinella – says the choreographer – is a person, is an image, is a thought of loneliness. It is a thought that never dies, in fact in choreography this character seems to die several times, but then always rises, a sign of his continuous possibility of rebirth, because the freedom that Punchinello carries within him, all that is new, all that is freedom, all that is truth could be suffocated, but always comes back to life.”
In the predominant black and white of the costumes and the scene, only a hint of red appears: it is Pulcinella, whose heart beats beyond any attempt to make him die, and continues to pulsate, for better or for worse, in black and white. What remains, in this ballet, of its first edition? Once the story has been reduced to the essential, and the accessory characters have been eliminated, Pimpinella, the young girl loved by Pulcinella, the Wizard, who uses light as a guide to find a way out in the course of history, and the two couples of lovers remain. The choreographer did not want to follow the plot built in 1920, but focuses on the personality of the protagonist and the main events that revolve around him: his love for Pimpinella, the alleged death, the ending, a symbol of rebirth.
“The final scene – says Merola – in which Punchinello once again wears his hat, which he often has inside the show, but which he often takes off to be similar to the rest of society, symbolizes his choice: he realizes that being as society would like takes him nowhere, and then chooses to be himself, chooses the truth.”

POLLICINO
“How can you sleep? It may be fear, but I can’t,” says Pollicino to his older brothers. The protagonist of the story is small, the smallest, but his fear, big, doesn’t annihilate him. What, on the contrary, makes him victorious in the face of life’s adversities is his curiosity and his courageous desire to know reality, even in its cruelest aspects.
It is curiosity that drives Pollicino to be vigilant about what his parents say and do, and he is able to warn of the danger at an early stage and to equip himself to face it. From his father’s house to that of the Ogre, through the woods he goes out into the world, towards other woods and other houses… Pollicino does not return home and does not get lost: his journey continues.
A show dedicated to all the little thumbs that, with lightness, cross the woods of the world. Even those devastated by bombs.

INSIGHTS
Thumbelyn (Pollicino) offers the public an opportunity to confront the feeling of fear.
Thumbelyn’s story is, in fact, a “dark fairy tale”: “how can you sleep? It may be fear, but I can’t”, Thumbelyn says to his older brothers.
The protagonist of the story is small, but his fear, great, does not annihilate him. What, on the contrary, makes him the winner in the face of life’s adversities is curiosity and his courageous desire to know reality, even in its cruellest aspects.
It is curiosity that pushes Thumbelyn to watch over what his parents say and do and he is able to quickly warn of the danger and to equip himself to deal with it.
From his father’s house to that of the Orc, through the woods he goes to the world, to other woods and other houses…
doesn’t come home and doesn’t get lost: his journey continues. In the company of his brothers.
If it is true that Thumbelyn is only thinking, it is equally true that, in his estrangement from home, he alone is not. The presence of the brothers is warm, in the darkness and cold of the night. Even in dramatic moments there is someone to play with, to argue with, to face the unknown.
A show dedicated to all the little thumbs that, lightly, cross the woods of the world. Even those devastated by bombs.
The show is performed by an actor-narrator who lives and tells the story, evoking it and relating, sometimes directly to the public. The narration and the relationship with the spectators are ironic, comical, sometimes in a popular style, with frequent dialectal brackets in a dialogue free from the rhythms of Romagna. The props and the writing of the space offer an example of “theatre of narration with objects”, characteristic of the historical collaboration between Claudio Casadio and Marcello Chiarenza.
The work offers many points for reflection and study: from the point of view of the classic fairy tale (the role of the protagonist, the forest as total space, the homes of parents and the Orc, the topos of abandonment and devouring, the final catharsis and the positive solution of the story), from the point of view of language and from the psychological in the relationship of the story with the existential experience of children and their ability to “save” themselves.

Dreamers
2020-01-11 20:30 - 22:30 | Teatro Municipale Valli, Piazza Martiri del 7 luglio, Reggio Emilia, 42121, Italia
Aterballetto dances at Teatro Valli in Reggio Emilia the new triple bill Dreamers, composed of cloud|materia by Philippe Kratz, Traces by Rihoko Sato and Secus by Ohad Naharin.
Dreamers offers a unique opportunity to admire the company through shades of contrast, from the rational physicality of Philippe Kratz, Aterballetto choreographer and dancer, to the sophisticated, ethereal style of Japanese Rihoko Sato, the muse and favorite performer of Saburo Teshigawara, to vigorous rituality of Ohad Naharin, the choreographer from Batsheva Dance Company.
All this is possible thanks to this international co-production that relates us to Festival Oriente Occidente in Rovereto, Les Halles de Schaerbeek in Brussels, Malraux scène nationale Chambéry Savoie in France and, for the creation cloud|materia by Philippe Kratz, Bayer Culture Engagement in Leverkusen.

Insights
Fragments of a scenic biography come together in the sign of a recognizable language, and tell a personal journey and its inspirations: music, figurative arts, poetry. From Combustioni, a show created to celebrate the reopening of the Teatro Continuo in Burri, to Luminare Minus, commissioned by the Science Museum of Milan, to continue with Funambolia, which inaugurates the dance season of the Teatro Gerolamo in 2017.
Then again Hopper Variations, En écoutant du Schumann, on stage at the Bolshoi Theatre in Moscow, Balthus and Variations for Five, the latter programmed at the Al Bustan festival in Beirut in 2019. Different contexts and creative impulses, for a single creative vocation.
In retracing her choreographic work since 2004, Shortcut does not choose the path of chronological exhibition, but creates a narrative based on affinity; the same that links the choreographer to the beautiful music specially written by the composer Giampaolo Testoni. Each extract from the main works is mirrored in the next, following a reasoned thread.
Emanuela Tagliavia
Dancer and choreographer, she trained in Italy and then perfected her skills in contemporary dance in France. Her works have been performed in some of the most important theatres and festivals in Italy and abroad (Teatro alla Scala in Milan, Teatro dell’Opera in Rome and Teatro Bolshoi in Moscow, Piccolo Teatro and Teatro Strehler in Milan, to name a few). In recent years he has worked with Gabriele Salvatores for the production of La Gazza Ladra (Milan, Teatro alla Scala, 2017) and with Liliana Cavani for the staging of Alì Baba e i Quaranta Ladroni (Milan, Teatro alla Scala, 2018). In 2019 he curated the Gala di Danza organized by Fondazione Nazionale della Danza / Aterballetto at Teatro Diego Fabbri in Forlì. She created the choreographic movements of the show Qohelet, which was staged with great success at the Teatro Franco Parenti in Milan (February 2019); she participated in the Al Bustan Festival in Beirut, with young dancers from the Scuola di Ballo Accademia Teatro alla Scala. In the summer of 2019 he created the choreography for the Dolce & Gabbana AltaSartoria event held in Sciacca, Sicily. In September his choreographies were the protagonists of the opening show of the 24th World Energy Forum held in Abu Dhabi. Numerous are the awards and recognitions to his career and his creations. She is artistic director of the contemporary dance festival “Pulchra minima” at the Teatro Gerolamo in Milan.
Since 1999 Emanuela Tagliavia has taught contemporary dance at the Dance School of the Accademia delle Arti e Mestieri of the Teatro alla Scala. Since 2007 she has taught at the Civica Scuola di Teatro Paolo Grassi.

BLISS - OPEN REHEARSAL
2020-01-23 18:00 - 19:00 | Fonderia, via della Costituzione, 39, Reggio Emilia, 42124, Italy
OPEN REHEARSAL
The Fondazione Nazionale della Danza / Aterballetto gives the opportunity to enter the daily routine of dancers and choreographers. Open rehearsals are unique moments in which you can experience the backstage of a performance, dialogue with the artists and surprise yourself with the art of dance.
Aterballetto rehearses BLISS, creation by Johan Inger on the notes of Keith Jarrett’s Koln Concert, in preparation for the shows at the Holland Dance Festival.

Wolf - ''O'' - BLISS
2020-01-29 20:00 - 21:30, 2020-01-30 20:00 - 21:30 | Zuiderstrandtheater, Houtrustweg 505, Den Haag, 2583 WB, Olanda
Aterballetto dances at the prestigious Holland Dance Festival an evening signed by Hofesh Shechter, Philippe Kratz and Johan Inger.
In Wolf by Hofesh Shechter we find a sort of wild animality, which sometimes crosses men and sometimes women. The painting that is composed drags us a mysterious and engaging universe. “O” is a beautiful duo with an unstoppable rhythm signed by Philippe Kratz. At the end, we close with the contagious joy of BLISS by Johan Inger.

HARLEKING is a demon with multiple identities.
His body expression resembles that of Harlequin of the Commedia dell’Arte, a sly servant moved by an insatiable hunger. HARLEKING’s mode of communication has a specific hypnotic quality in which its contents, often extreme and contradictory, merge to create a fluid, metamorphic system wherein anything can happen, yet all is blurred. It is reminiscent of the Grotesques, ancient wall decorations, in which monstrous figures emerge and blend in with elegant ornamental volutes.
Figures, which, although can evoke amusement, do not elicit any joy.
The work premiered in July 2018 in the frame of Open Spaces Sommer Tanz at Tanzfabrik Berlin and it has been presented among several European dance festivals and theatres. In 2019 it has been selected by the Aerowaves Twenty19 for the Spring Forward 2019 and the New Italian Dance (NID) Platform.
