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.

GERSHWIN SUITE
Choreography: Michele Merola
Music: George Gershwin, Stefano Corrias
Lighting and set design: Cristina Spelti
Set design: Alice De Lorenzi
Costumes: Carlotta Montanari
Music adaptation and recomposing: Stefano Corrias
Choreography assistant: Paolo Lauri
Performers: Emiliana Campo, Dylan Di Nola, Mario Genovese, Matilde Gherardi, Fabiana Lonardo, Annalisa Perricone, Alice Ruspaggiari, Nicola Stasi, Giuseppe Villarosa
Duration: 40 min.
Premiere: 8 February 2018, Teatro Ristori, Verona
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
Lighting design: Cristina Spelti
Costumes: Carlotta Montanari
Performers: Emiliana Campo, Dylan Di Nola, Mario Genovese, Matilde Gherardi, Fabiana Lonardo, Annalisa Perricone, Alice Ruspaggiari, Nicola Stasi, Giuseppe Villarosa
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.

{%CAPTION%}

At Ravenna Festival it premieres Never odd or even, our new creation in the framework of Virtual Dance for Real People.
What happens when dance, technology and an immersive experience in the artistic sites of the Emilia Romagna region get together? Choreographer Fernando Melo has no choice but to abandon himself to the dream, and explore it, even if it turns out to be a nightmare where movements are in slow motion, and gravity follows different rules. This is what happens to the two dancers, dreamlike figures that try in vain to reunite while an irresistible force pulls them apart. The audience will do away with the “fourth wall” and the usual conceptions of space and time, and follow the dancers into the Classense Library. Upon awakening, in the Mosaics Hall, the mind will still be projected into a dimension where the barriers between dance and virtual reality are broken.

MicroDanze - urban setting
2022-07-09 18:00 - 20:00 | Palazzo Malfatti Azzolini, Piazza San Giovanni, Ala, TN, 38061, Italia
As part of the Ala – Città di Velluto – Memorie, in partnership with Centro Servizi Culturali Santa Chiara, we offer the urban version of MicroDances.
8 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.
The result is a project that creatively wanders among very different contexts – historical centers, industrial areas, residual spaces, symbolic places of the cities – defining unusual stages and creating radically new opportunities to meet the public. The leitmotif of the three experiments is research into dance as a form of living, in relation to contemporary artistic practices that are rooted in the territory.
The micro/macro relationship established by the confrontation with the urban space is the same that articulates the conceptual space of the choreography and the lived space, as well as the dialectic I/other, activated by the transmission of the choreographies to the dancers in training who become mediators of an unprecedented experience.
The binary gaze that links spectator↔artwork becomes a performer-spectator-urban landscape triangulation.
8 MicroDances are: Forget Me Not by Konstantinos Rigos, Turn the Tide by Roberto Tedesco, Eppur si muove by Francesca Lattuada, Fantasmagoria d by Markella Manoliadi, Pensieri di Carta by Hélias Tur-Dorvault, Knight Rider by Yannis Nikolaidis, Strôma by Giovanni Insaudo, Active Motivation by Elena Kekkou.

Il combattimento di Tancredi e Clorinda
2022-07-11 19:30 - 20:00
A contemporary staging for one of the most celebrated Baroque masterpieces by Claudio Monteverdi. A 17th-century madrigal in performance form inspired by the text La Gerusalemme liberata by Torquato Tasso. On stage the baroque mezzo-soprano Chiara Osella narrates the epic tale from the sad epilogue of the two young warrior lovers Tancredi and Clorinda, physically interpreted by the two German performers Lisa Hofmann and Luzi Madrid Villaneuva (twobetween).
A project born from an idea of Maestro Marcello Panni and from the collaboration with ‘Bologna Festival’, ‘Ferrara Musica’ and ‘IUC-Università La sapienza’ in Rome, featuring the choreographic creation by Carlo Massari.
The performance is within the summer festival DANZA AI CHIOSTRI curated by Fondazione Nazionale della Danza / Aterballetto and Fondazione I Teatri di Reggio Emilia.

C&C COMPANY
A project for the creation and development of an artistic language directed towards a physical and dramaturgical investigation, in close relation with contemporary social issues, it is characterised by constant research free of superstructures, and is interested in the depth of interpersonal relationships, with the aim of bringing ‘truth’ to the stage through a profoundly physical language that allows the spectator to feel represented in its universality. Founded in 2011, the Company denotes a strong vocation for cross-over and hybridity in the use of dance in relation to other contemporary performance codes, consolidating to date as an “amphibious” creative identity.
Among the numerous productions, the most recent are Beast without Beauty, Les Miserables and A peso morto, which boast international recognition and touring. There are recurring creations that involve communities, in a dialogue that enhances the artistic project: a search for relational truth combined with a total imaginative openness capable of bringing the audience closer to the theatrical experience. In 2020, C&C and its founder Carlo Massari won CollaborAction# / Rete AnticorpiXL with the project RIGHT.

EQUAL TO MEN
2022-07-12 19:30 - 19:45
The Amazons.
The immortal myth of warrior women riding fiery horses, wielding bows, vigorous legs amid a storm, threatening eyes on delicate faces. Beautiful, young, resolute, ready to defend their independence with swords and arrows.
The archetype of the Amazons, women warriors inferior to no man, wishes to encourage a reflection on contemporary society and women’s roles. Homerus described them as “equal to men”, a sign of respect in the patriarchal society of ancient Greece.
The performance is within the summer festival DANZA AI CHIOSTRI curated by Fondazione Nazionale della Danza / Aterballetto and Fondazione I Teatri di Reggio Emilia.

HUMAN BEHAVIOUR
2022-07-12 21:30 - 23:00
The Greek National Opera Ballet presents a modern dance triptych composed of Point of No Return by Ioannis Mandafounis, Lieder ohne Worte by Konstantinos Rigos, director of the ensemble, and Plan B by Ermira Goro. The choreographies move between classical and modern styles, giving the dancers the opportunity to experiment with new dance forms, accompanied by the music of Giorgos Koumendakis, Dimitri Terzakis and Dimitra Trypani.

POINT OF NO RETURN
Choreographer, costume supervisor: Ioannis Mandafounis
Music: Giorgos Koumendakis
Lighting designer: Christos Tziogkas
Human Behaviour_Point of No Return_Photo Andreas Simopoulos
In Point of No Return, the internationally recognised dancer and choreographer Ioannis Mandafounis composes a modern piece out of dance elements deeply rooted in the tradition of classical ballet. In tune with the music of Giorgos Koumendakis, the GNO Ballet dancers focus on the transparency and authenticity of their moves via the arsenal of classical ballet steps. Although the group experience of their bodies reveals an extremely classical choreographical approach, one may discern the personal identity of the performers as well as a particularly modern treatment of presence and interpretation of movement – obvious elements that indicate the choreographer’s regular touch.
“Guided by the title Point of No Return, this dance piece highlights classical technique as performed by a dancer of today, without falsifying it. Joy, communication, complex choreography and performing immediacy are some of the elements presented by the dancers and shared with the public,” according to Ioannis Mandafounis. Giorgos Koumendakis’ music follows the example of the “anonymous” folksong creators, “recasting or recomposing traditional musical themes while retaining their energy and subtlety, the authenticity of their primordial model, their pulse and their soul.”
The choreography Point of No Return is a co-production of the GNO and the CIE Ioannis Mandafounis. The CIE Ioannis Mandafounis benefits from the joint support of the City of Geneva, the State of Geneva and the Pro Helvetia – Swiss Art Council for the 2018-2023 period.
Lieder ohne Worte
Choreographer, set designer: Konstantinos Rigos
Music: Dimitri Terzakis
Costume designer: Yiorgos Mesimeris
Lighting designer: Christos Tziogkas
Associate architect: Mary Tsangari

The GNO Ballet director Konstantinos Rigos bases his choreography for the second part of this “alternative journey” on three works by the accomplished Greek-German composer Dimitri Terzakis, inspired by modern Greek history and the legacy of ancient Greece. The delicate Sprüche im Wind consists of ten brief, succinct “haikus” for violin and piano. The work Der Hölle Nachklang I constitutes the composer’s emotionally charged reaction to his unbearable childhood memories of the German Occupation of Greece during his early childhood in Athens in the years 1941-1944, while the third piece, Lieder ohne Worte, is an apotheosis of melody based on the musical system of antiquity.
The composer notes: “To present the infinitesimal melodic nuances and rapidly changing characters, the interpretation of this composition may and must be endlessly free, poetic, song-like, speech-like and, yes, ‘old-fashioned’ – like in the theatre of ancient Greece.”
PLAN B
Choreographer: Ermira Goro
Music: Dimitra Trypani
Set & costume designer: Christos Delidimos
Lighting designer: Christos Tziogkas

Ermira Goro, a movement and dance theatre artist always in search for new forms of researching and communicating her ideas, says about the choreography of Plan B:
“Plan B is a choreographic experiment on rigorously structured, asymmetrical sonic forms. The dancers move through space in a constantly shifting flux from the particular to the abstract and vice-versa. Plan B, because Plan A proved impossible and Plan C is already taking place.” In tandem, the composer Dimitra Trypani likens her music to a “sonic impression of an imaginary videogame in a single-level environment which is to be traversed by the player. However, within this level, there are many ‘trap-rooms’ in quick, unexpected succession, often without warning. The player’s goal, of course, is to survive until they exit the last ‘trap-room’ of the game.”

co-funded by the CREATIVE EUROPE programme of the European Union.
DANZA&DANZA “Special Project” Award 2021

A dance exhibition in the magnificent complex of the Chiostri di San Pietro. 15 choreographers – Italian and international – have conceived MicroDances, short pieces to be danced in a tiny space, to 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 viewer and the one being watched. An emotional and aesthetic experience as varied as it is original.

The MicroDances are danced by the Compagnia Aterballetto and the Greek National Opera Ballet within two exhibition routes curated by Fabio Cherstich.
Route A – duration 1h 30′
Route B – duration 1h 30′
Both routes will start at the same time:
Friday 15 July 6.30 pm – 8.15 pm – 10 pm
Saturday 16 July 6.30 pm – 8.15 pm – 10 pm
Sunday 17 July 6.30 pm – 8.15 pm – 10 pm

Shoot me - Secus
2022-07-22 21:20 - 22:30 | Teatro al Castello “Tito Gobbi”, Piazza Castello Ezzelini, Bassano del Grappa, (VI), 36061, Italia
Aterballetto is back in the spotlight at the Operaestate festival in Bassano del Grappa with SHOOT ME and Secus, two choreographies that between plasticity and energy seem to translate Canova’s work into movement.
For the creation SHOOT ME, choreographer Diego Tortelli reinterprets the idea of the concert-ballet in a contemporary key: music and dance thus accompany each other in a composition without narrative, but which guides the spectator to create open imagery and to feel emotions, inspired by the imagery of demonstrations, pride, catwalks… everything that connects in a group and that at the same time allows one not to lose one’s own voice. A work that puts the dancers on stage and the audience in the stalls in direct contact: a game of seduction, of glances, an assault on the senses and an ode to the body.

Secus, on the other hand, is a creation by Ohad Naharin, boasting a musical collage that stretches 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. An adventurously eclectic mix, which serves as a backdrop for a daring and extravagant choreography: in which a human alphabet is composed of runs, solos, terse and clean gestures, interrupted duets, which, through precise and sudden gestures, 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.

MicroDanze - urban setting
2022-07-23 18:30 - 20:00 | Piazza Libertà, Piazza Libertà, Bassano del Grappa, VI, 36061, Italia
As part of the Operaestate Festival we offer the urban version of MicroDances.
Some 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.
The result is a project that creatively wanders among very different contexts – historical centers, industrial areas, residual spaces, symbolic places of the cities – defining unusual stages and creating radically new opportunities to meet the public. The leitmotif of the three experiments is research into dance as a form of living, in relation to contemporary artistic practices that are rooted in the territory.
The micro/macro relationship established by the confrontation with the urban space is the same that articulates the conceptual space of the choreography and the lived space, as well as the dialectic I/other, activated by the transmission of the choreographies to the dancers in training who become mediators of an unprecedented experience.
The binary gaze that links spectator↔artwork becomes a performer-spectator-urban landscape triangulation.
MicroDances performed at Operaestate festival are: Turn the Tide by Roberto Tedesco, Eppur si muove by Francesca Lattuada, Pensieri di Carta by Hélias Tur-Dorvault, Strôma by Giovanni Insaudo.

MicroDanze - urban setting
MicroDanze is an ambitious project of “danced” performances. Conceived by Gigi Cristoforetti, the project stems 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 minuscule space), which can be watched in succession as if one were visiting a museum. A project that eludes the dynamics of the stage, the distance separating 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

The leitmotif is research on dance as a form of living, in relation to contemporary artistic practices rooted in the territory.
In Ferrara, the MicroDances route, curated by Lara Guidetti, runs through the spaces of Palazzo Schifanoia, including the inner garden. It starts from the side entrance, passing through the garden, and then rejoins the visitors’ route from the upper rooms and the Salone dei Mesi. The itinerary allows for different experiences of the space including more concrete and essential outdoor green areas, and the historical halls whose works sometimes resonate in the choreographies.

The end is the beginning and the beginning is the end.
A circle, a journey that comes to an end only after returning to its starting point, containing countless roads and suggestions. Punch24 is a circular path where the first and last stages intersect each other but are not coincident phases. It is my research about anything what we can find within a shape, the awareness that every movement, every sound, every glance can be variable and endlessly multipliable. Punch24 is a series of independent scenes, a game of entrances and exits, a back and forth between the two dancers. A set of seemingly disconnected scenes that follow one other, offering the audience the possibility to visualize each time a different performer.

OPEN REHEARSAL

Open rehearsals are unique moments in which it is possible to experience the backstage of a performance, dialogue with the artists and be surprised by the art of dance.
People is a deep and secret analysis – in a few moments perhaps seraphic – of the contours of human beings, members of a race that in contemporary society is increasingly exposed to a fictitious contact, made up of sharing photographic, of judgments, of liking, of following and status, invented and proportionally more and more limited – often exiled – to a social solitude.
Dacru is a group that ‘transforms’ the language of hip hop dance by combining it through contemporary dance and performing art. The group, often a guest at international festivals and reviews, has for some years been one of the realities associated with Naturalis Labor.

DACRU DANCE COMPANY
Marisa Ragazzo and Omid Ighani began their artistic collaboration in 1996, systematically mixing their personal artistic curiosities, backgrounds and talents, careful to keep their differences intact and often succeeding in enhancing them.
Their different artistic backgrounds, academic for Marisa (Prebil, Trayanova, Lupov, Peter Goss, Sebron) and street for Omid (freestyler, like many talents born and bred in the hip hop culture of the 1980s), produce a highly innovative and certainly singular artistic code.
Both in love with extreme experimentation and the contamination of styles and languages, they create an unusual choreographic dimension, while remaining absolutely attainable. They love speed, technical virtuosity, and the fusion of the theatrical space with the artistic code of the street, from which they draw their drives towards art in its various aspects, which often leads them to collaborate with underground musicians and visual artists.
Their primary goal remains to break out of conventional spaces through originality, invention, innovation and research.
In 1996, Marisa Ragazzo and Omid Ighani opened two professional hip hop dance schools, still active today, in Lazio and Sardinia, to which they added, over the years, another 8 locations shared in organisation with Cruisin Arts (MC Hip Hop School: Milan, Verona, Jesi, Florence, Rome, Bari, Catania, Cagliari), and a specialisation school for Video Dance and House (Cruisin’ Urban Dance Hdemy: Modena and Rome).
In addition to professional schools, they carry out an intense teaching activity, in Italy and abroad.

Dacru is a group that ‘transforms’ the language of hip hop dance by combining it through contemporary dance and performing art. The group, often a guest at international festivals and reviews, has for some years been one of the realities associated with Naturalis Labor.

Don Juan
2022-10-11 20:00 - 22:00, 2022-10-12 20:00 - 22:00 | Teatrul Naţional „I.L. Caragiale” din Bucureşti, Bulevardul Nicolae Bălcescu 2, Bucharest, 010051, Romania
Aterballetto’s first performance of the 2022-23 season is in Bucharest with 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.
