THE PERFORMANCE IS CANCELLED.
Aterballetto dances in Alès the triple bill Dreamers #1, composed of BLISS by Johan Inger, “O” by Philippe Kratz and Secus by Ohad Naharin.
Dreamers #1 offers a unique opportunity to admire the company through shades of contrast, from the joyful concert in dance by Johan Inger to the unstoppable and hypnotic rhythm of Philippe Kratz, to vigorous rituality of Ohad Naharin.

2020-12-22 19:30 - 21:00 | Teatro Toniolo, Piazzetta Gian Francesco Malipiero, 1, Venezia, 30174, Italia
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.

After a year of suspension, we are resuming performances at the Foundry from where we stopped, with live streaming.
We decided to start our streaming activity from the Foundry by giving priority to XL Dance Company, a young company from Reggio Emilia directed by Laura Matano and Emanuela Baratin, which was due to make its debut just a year ago in the Foundry.
On stage were two choreographies signed by Laura Matano, “Oh Peter, hello. Goodbye.” and “Before Tomorrow”.
The event will be streamed on OnTheatre.

Duration 13.40 min
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.

Duration 24.30 min
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.
From 6 to 9 May, the company opens the season at the Teatro Metastasio in Prato with four performances of Don Juan, choreographed by Swedish Johan Inger and winner of the Danza&Danza ‘Best Production 2020’ Award.
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.
Teatro Metastasio in Prato is one of the co-producers of the choreography.

Tortelli starts from the suggestions of the foyer, the stage and the rooms of the Ridotto of the Teatro Valli and imagines a choreographic and musical tour.

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.
Diego Tortelli

FND/Aterballetto – Preludio – ph. Celeste Lombardi
Domus Aurea - excerpts
Choreography Diego Tortelli
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.

Träfen Wir Uns
Choreography Ivan Alboresi
Music Davidson Jaconello, Stefan Levin, Frèdèric Chopin
Träfen wir uns is a new creation by Ivan Alboresi for the young dancers of the Agora Coaching Project. The choreography deals with various problems of the individual in contemporary society. The virtual reality, which the world pushes us to seek and create, contrasts with the loneliness present in everyday life. The problem of one’s identity outside of the digital self-presentation, the desire for “real” encounters and connections, as well as the omnipresence of fears and their influence on our actions, form the foundations of this piece.
Ivan Alboresi shows restless protagonists who are constantly searching for themselves, for support, for security. But at the same time the fear of connecting with the other, of losing control or being rejected. He contrasts this restlessness with moments of almost catatonic torpor. The choice of music, a fundamental part of Ivan Alboresi’s choreographies, goes from classical pieces to contemporary music to the use of sound carpets created in collaboration with the composer Davidson Jaconello.
Duration: 30′
Uscita di sicurezza
Choreography Enrico Morelli
Music Ben Frost, Vex’d, Max Richter
Costumes Nuvia Valestri
First performance: March 2012
Uscita di Sicurezza catapults us into a parallel universe, into an alienating underworld where fog, rhythmic contractions and frenetic bodies enhance the dangerous influence of the herd.
They are all victims and aggressors, they are all perpetrators of a revolt suffocated within bodies that abandon and recover in a rhythmically controlled tension. The lack of personal identity, if not in function of the others, the need to belong, the incapacity of autonomy determine a sense of oppression from which to escape. The way out and the road to freedom here pass through the recognition of one’s own weakness: no longer existing only in function of others but breaking the rhythm by accepting oneself and one’s own fragile uniqueness.
Duration: 30′
LEGO
Choreography Giuseppe Spota
Music Afiletta, Ezio Bosso, Jóhann Jóhannsson, Ólafur Arnalds/Nils Frahm
Master repeater Damiano Artale
Creation created for Compagnia Aterballetto (2015)
Bridges, connections, streets to be travelled searching for oneself, searching for love, friendship, family, life. Events that form unions, which then transform themselves into other events. The all-encompassing, inescapable need to walk, to create, brick after brick, the road ahead, to understand those who will be part of it and to collect the fragments, without which many relationships would never exist.
Thus, it is the designing of a great map: streets and labyrinths that intersect, meet and collide, that indicate direction and movement, that create casual or voluntary relationships.

OPEN REHEARSAL
Tribute to Dante Alighieri, is a scenic polyphony between body, Dante’s verses and sound environments.
The originality of the creative approach lies both in the cross-media staging and in the production format. The project is in fact conceived to be modular and modulable: each solo is composed of several interchangeable scenic elements, which relate dynamically to the structure that houses them.
The 3 “actors” of the scenic polyphony imagined by Monica Casadei are the performers for the choreography of the chosen Dantean Ombra, the voice off of an actor/actress, the sound carpet/atmosphere composed by a sound designer who elaborates a Dantean sound from Verdi’s Requiem.

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.

Excerpts from varoius creations - OPEN REHEARSAL
2021-06-22 18:00 - 19:00 | Fonderia, via della Costituzione, 39, Reggio Emilia, 42124, Italy
OPEN REHEARSAL
The Compagnia Artemis Danza presents various excerpts from its most famous creations.
Cho Cho San
Choreography, direction Monica Casadei
Music Madama Butterfly by Giacomo Puccini
Sound design Luca Vianini
Production Compagnia Artemis Danza
A new production inspired by Butterfly, conceived for non-theatrical spaces and performance situations, which focuses totally on the figure of the young protagonist of one of Puccini’s most dramatic operas.
Figaro-Il Barbiere di Siviglia
Choreography, direction Monica Casadei
Music Il Barbiere di Siviglia by Gioachino Rossini
Costume design Daniela Usai
Musical elaboration and original music Luca Vianini
Production Compagnia Artemis Danza
Figaro, Rossini’s iconic character who in Monica Casadei’s vision encapsulates the vices and virtues of the successful man in today’s world, is the absolute protagonist of a performance inspired by the opera of the same name. Rossini’s hero becomes the emblem of those who manage to meet with efficiency, vivacity and savoir faire the expectations of a society that demands every day to achieve its goals by optimising time and energy.
Lucenia
Choreography, direction Monica Casadei
Music Ave Maria by W. A. Mozart
Musical elaboration Luca Vianini
Production Compagnia Artemis Danza
Event organised within the framework of the European Year of Cultural Heritage
in collaboration with the Complesso Monumentale della Pilotta as part of the celebrations for the 400th anniversary of the Teatro Farnese, with the patronage of the Municipality of Parma.
Under the patronage of Comune di Parma
A woman, a destiny, a tormented history at the Farnese court. A body, a soul, the struggle of contrasts. From the elaboration of these essential elements takes shape Lucenia, a creation by Monica Casadei realised in collaboration with the Complesso Monumentale della Pilotta as part of the celebrations for the 400th anniversary of the Farnese Theatre, under the patronage of the Municipality of Parma.

Don Juan
2021-06-22 21:30 - 23:00 | Teatro Alighieri, via Mariani, 2, Ravenna, 48121, Italia
Don Juan, choreography by Swedish Johan Inger and winner of the Danza&Danza ‘Best Production 2020’ Award, finally reaches Ravenna Festival, where it was due to première last year.
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.
Ravenna Festival is one of the co-producers of the choreography.

CIRCUS 1 - OPEN REHEARSAL
2021-06-23 16:00 - 17:00 | Fonderia, via della Costituzione, 39, Reggio Emilia, 42124, Italy
OPEN REHEARSAL
Circus is a dance show enriched by surprising physical skills and an imagery that takes us back to the magic of the circus and its inhabitants.
Acrobatics and dance, juggling, eccentric comedy and clownish art are some of the ingredients that go to make up a rich and energetic fresco, the result of collaboration between different arts and performers. Thanks to this union of elements, Circus becomes a powerful kaleidoscope of colours and music, costumes and images, which together celebrate a tradition that is both ancient and contemporary, capable of enchanting adults and children alike.
