Concerto Fisico
2021-12-09 20:30 - 21:30 | Fonderia, via della Costituzione, 39, Reggio Emilia, 42124, Italy
Concerto Fisico is a physical and vocal score that reviews and redraws the history of Balletto Civile, the story of the company born inside the former Psychiatric Hospital of Udine.

Credits
Concept and choreography Michela Lucenti
Created and performed by Michela Lucenti
Assistant to the creation Maurizio Camilli
Live sound design Tiziano Scali and Maurizio Camilli
Production Balletto Civile and Festival Resistere e Creare
With the support of UFO – UNIDENTIFIED ART RESIDENCES and MIBACT
To know you alive is to feel the planet crumble beneath you, to soar kicking try to throw yourself off while you cling to the edge, is to ride the planet like a log in the direction of the current, screaming.
Anne Dillard
Synopsis
I always sang in shows even when my dancing was furious. The body, my gestures are the map of what I feel and singing is my vehicle to keep me alive.
Concerto Fisico is a composition for physical and vocal instrument, a twisted and crooked greatest hits that has nothing nostalgic to tell the story of a group through the stories it has become a vehicle. A juke-box that awakens the emotional accents of a memory that is still the present, of how we transformed ourselves, of the sand from which we emerged, of the Creatures, of the wooden horses built for Troy, of the fire extinguishers thrown in the dark, of the sea of milk where Woyzeck and Andres talk about the void, of Desdemona’s desperate scream, of what happened to Thebes, of the Resistance, of the struggle and of the Revolution, of how in the end the Evil Lambs are all of us, of the mirrored floor and an orange rope, of the power and heavy coats of 1918, of stuffed foxes and sexual seasons, of death and a Brazilian with a green plume, of a small white dog, of taboos, of plastic ducks and Kenyan acrobats, of firemen and priests, of an accident and a gas station, of a radio and a city always on fire, of why things happen. Then everything disappears, sucked into the eyes, as if it never existed.
Concerto Fisico is a musical tale for actions that retraces and redraws the history of Balletto Civile, that is, my own, the history of my company. It was founded during a long artistic residence inside the former Psychiatric Hospital of Udine, one of the centres where Basaglia revolutionized the concept of madness. My art was born in that place, isolated from the world and at the same time in the centre of its burning fire.
Michela Lucenti
Balletto Civile
A nomadic group by definition, animated by a strong ethical tension, Balletto Civile was founded in 2003 by Michela Lucenti. The creative approach is a research based on movement that emerges from the deep scenic relationship between the artists. It works on a total language where theatre, dance and original singing interact naturally.

Don Juan
2021-12-17 20:00 - 21:40 | Teatro Ponchielli, Corso Vittorio Emanuele II, 52, Cremona, 26100, Italia
At Teatro Ponchielli in Cremona, Aterballetto dances 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.

Preludio - ''O'' - BLISS
2021-12-29 20:00 - 21:40, 2021-12-30 20:00 - 21:40, 2021-12-31 18:00 - 19:40, 2022-01-02 16:00 - 17:40 | Teatro Comunale, Fondazione, Largo Respighi 1, Bologna, 40126, Italia
Due to the quarantine that some of the protagonists of the ballet Don Juan had to undergo, the Teatro Comunale di Bologna and the Fondazione Nazionale della Danza / Aterballetto have decided to replace the title, scheduled from 29 December 2021 to 2 January 2022, with three of the most popular choreographies created in recent years by the dance company. The times and dates of the performances remain unchanged.
Wednesday 29 December h 20.00
Thursday 30 December h 20.00
Friday 31 December h 18.00
Sunday 2 January h 16.00
The evening opens with Preludio, a creation for five performers by Diego Tortelli – Aterballetto’s resident choreographer – created around some of the most intense poems and songs by Australian singer-songwriter Nick Cave, one of the greatest exponents of Post Punk. Cave tackles the interweaving of themes such as love, addiction, obsession and loss.
The programme continues with “O” by Philippe Kratz – a former Aterballetto dancer and choreographer – a duet that has already been appreciated abroad. “O” represents two human beings or two robots that force us to question ourselves on how the sense of physical contact could change: will it remain emotional and heart-felt, or will it become serial and alienated?
Closing is BLISS by Johan Inger, which won the 2016 Danza&Danza Award as ‘Italian Production of the Year’, inspired by the music of Keith Jarrett’s Köln Concert. Inger and the dancers on stage talk about how one relates to this iconic music: a compositional and emotional challenge.

Due to several cases of dancers testing positive for Covid, the Fondazione Nazionale della Danza and the Fondazione Palazzo Magnani are forced to cancel the event.

However, the visiting hours for the exhibition have been extended, from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays.
The appointment with the MicroDances – recent winners of the prestigious “Danza & Danza 2021” Award for original project, multimediality and internationality – is only postponed to next summer, when they will be protagonists on the Reggio Emilia scene.
Spectators who had already purchased tickets for the live performances at Palazzo da Mosto will be contacted directly by Vivaticket for a refund.

Six of the thirteen MicroDances will be performed for the last time in Italy, in Reggio Emilia, in an innovative and original context: the contemporary art exhibition ORIZZONTI DEL CORPO Art / Dance / Virtual Reality, produced by Palazzo Magnani Foundation and curated by Marina Dacci, in the historical Palazzo da Mosto. The project combines visual, performing arts and technology in a continuous exchange: the MicroDances, in fact, are designed to be enjoyed together with the works of art and are performed live during the last weekend of the exhibition:

14, 15 January 2022 (three performances at h 18.00 / 19.30 / 21.00)
16 January 2022 (three performances at h 15.00 / 16.30 / 18.00)

ARA! ARA! - OPEN REHEARSAL
2022-01-23 18:00 - 19:00 | Fonderia, via della Costituzione, 39, Reggio Emilia, 42124, Italy
Panzetti/Ticconi – Ara! Ara! – ph. Ettore Spezza

OPEN REHEARSAL
Ginevra Panzetti and Enrico Ticconi continue their investigation into power starting from the symbol of the national flag.
ARA! ARA! is the definition of a symbol of rising power, a bird that is not powerful and threatening but cheerful and vivacious, an exotic, acrobatic icon, a parrot with colourful and seductive plumage. But the word Ara brings out a second meaning that alludes to the ancient place of sacrifice, understood here as a mechanism generating death, inflicted as a gift to those who were recognised as having the highest power.

SYNOPSIS
As slipping out of the cloth of constantly fluttering flags, heraldic symbols take form and weight. Chimerical beings and oneiric figures appear, like leafing through an armorial or medieval bestiary. They seem to tell us stories of conflicts which took place in the well delimited perimeter of an emblematic battlefield.
In ancient times, graphic marks and color combinations showed up on the armors in response to the military need to identify opposite factions during fights. Thus arose coats of arms, systems of signs, shapes and colors organized in a form, often that of a shield. They were used to reveal, according to a precise sign alphabet, the identity of a person, a family, a whole community. In the form of vivid colors and fantastic beasts, those emblems hint at political tensions, expressions of belonging, dominance and power.
Panzetti/Ticconi – Ara! Ara! – ph. Valerio Figuccio
ARA! ARA! is the designation of a symbol. The symbol of a rising power that chooses a bird to represent itself. Not a majestic and fearsome raptor like the eagle, an animal often used as a heraldic symbol of power. On the contrary, a bird that communicates fun and quietness by becoming, according to a popular western look, an exotic icon: the parrot ARA. It was introduced to the circus for its acrobatic abilities which, together with the bright colours of its plumage and the ability to repeat sounds and words by imitation, made it a perfect animal for entertainment in captivity.
ARA! ARA! represents a seductive power for its friendly and festive appearance that, like the bird, imitates and repeats, bringing back patterns from the past, ignoring contents and effects.
Second part of a diptych started with AeReA, ARA! ARA! continues to investigate the symbolic power of the flag, drawing on the folkloristic tradition of flag waving.
Present in both titles, the word ARA reveals a second meaning that alludes to the ancient place of sacrifice, here meant as a mechanism generating death, inflicted as a gift to those who were recognized the highest power.

PANZETTI/TICCONI
Ginevra Panzetti and Enrico Ticconi, based in Berlin and Torino, have been working as a duo since 2008. Their artistic research interlaces dance, performance and visual art. Deepening themes related to the historical union between communication, violence and power, they draw on ancient imaginaries, creating hybrid figures or images between history and contemporaneity.
Both graduated from the Academy of Fine Arts in Rome and attended Stoà, School for rhythmic movement and philosophy in Cesena, led by Claudia Castellucci.
In 2010 they moved to Germany and delved into individual, but mutually complementary paths: Ginevra studied Media Art at the Hochschule für Grafik und Buchkunst (HGB) in Leipzig and Enrico Dance, Context, Choreography at the Inter-University Center for Dance (HZT) in Berlin.
In 2019 they won the 13th Arte Laguna Prize for the site-specific performance JARDIN / ARSENALE, the first edition of Premio Hermès Danza Triennale Milano with which they realized the last work AeReA, the Danza&Danza prize as emerging choreographers and were nominated “Promising Talent of the Year” by the Jahrbuch Tanz – Zeitschrift für Ballet Tanz und Performance.
With the work HARLEKING they have been selected by the european platform AEROWAVES Twenty 19, the New Italian Dance (NID) Platform and by Tanzplatform Deutschland 2020.

SYNOPSIS
As slipping out of the cloth of constantly fluttering flags, heraldic symbols take form and weight. Chimerical beings and oneiric figures appear, like leafing through an armorial or medieval bestiary. They seem to tell us stories of conflicts which took place in the well delimited perimeter of an emblematic battlefield.
In ancient times, graphic marks and color combinations showed up on the armors in response to the military need to identify opposite factions during fights. Thus arose coats of arms, systems of signs, shapes and colors organized in a form, often that of a shield. They were used to reveal, according to a precise sign alphabet, the identity of a person, a family, a whole community. In the form of vivid colors and fantastic beasts, those emblems hint at political tensions, expressions of belonging, dominance and power.
Panzetti/Ticconi – Ara! Ara! – ph. Ettore Spezza
ARA! ARA!is the designation of a symbol. The symbol of a rising power that chooses a bird to represent itself. Not a majestic and fearsome raptor like the eagle, an animal often used as a heraldic symbol of power. On the contrary, a bird that communicates fun and quietness by becoming, according to a popular western look, an exotic icon: the parrot ARA. It was introduced to the circus for its acrobatic abilities which, together with the bright colours of its plumage and the ability to repeat sounds and words by imitation, made it a perfect animal for entertainment in captivity.
ARA! ARA! represents a seductive power for its friendly and festive appearance that, like the bird, imitates and repeats, bringing back patterns from the past, ignoring contents and effects.
Second part of a diptych started with AeReA, ARA! ARA! continues to investigate the symbolic power of the flag, drawing on the folkloristic tradition of flag waving.
Present in both titles, the word ARA reveals a second meaning that alludes to the ancient place of sacrifice, here meant as a mechanism generating death, inflicted as a gift to those who were recognized the highest power.
PANZETTI/TICCONI
Ginevra Panzetti and Enrico Ticconi, based in Berlin and Torino, have been working as a duo since 2008. Their artistic research interlaces dance, performance and visual art. Deepening themes related to the historical union between communication, violence and power, they draw on ancient imaginaries, creating hybrid figures or images between history and contemporaneity.
Both graduated from the Academy of Fine Arts in Rome and attended Stoà, School for rhythmic movement and philosophy in Cesena, led by Claudia Castellucci.
In 2010 they moved to Germany and delved into individual, but mutually complementary paths: Ginevra studied Media Art at the Hochschule für Grafik und Buchkunst (HGB) in Leipzig and Enrico Dance, Context, Choreography at the Inter-University Center for Dance (HZT) in Berlin.
In 2019 they won the 13th Arte Laguna Prize for the site-specific performance JARDIN / ARSENALE, the first edition of Premio Hermès Danza Triennale Milano with which they realized the last work AeReA, the Danza&Danza prize as emerging choreographers and were nominated “Promising Talent of the Year” by the Jahrbuch Tanz – Zeitschrift für Ballet Tanz und Performance.
With the work HARLEKING they have been selected by the european platform AEROWAVES Twenty 19, the New Italian Dance (NID) Platform and by Tanzplatform Deutschland 2020.

From 27 to 30 January, in the frame of Expo Dubai 2020, the Fondazione Nazionale della Danza/Aterballetto presents Virtual Dance for Real People, a new form of immersive dance project promoting 3 MicroDances co-produced with the Fondazione Palazzo Magnani in Reggio Emilia. Virtual Dance for Real People is a provocation, an experiment that combines dance and technology through the use of VR and 360° video. The performances, presented through oculus (Shelter by Saul Daniele Ardillo, Kepler and Meridiana by Diego Tortelli), nevertheless defend the special relationship with the spectator: technology is not an object but the language of a new work, of a digital but never abstract dance.
Event promoted and supported by the Emilia-Romagna Region.

Don Juan
2022-02-08 21:00 - 21:40 | Teatro Alessandro Bonci, Piazza Guidazzi, 8, Cesena, 47521, Italia
Aterballetto performs in Cesena 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.

NUBIVAGO - Open Rehearsal
2022-02-09 18:00 - 19:00 | Fonderia, via della Costituzione, 39, Reggio Emilia, 42124, Italy
Equilibrio Dinamico Dance Company – Continuum – ph. Stefano Sasso
OPEN REHEARSAL
Nubìvago, a term that evokes suspension and magic, describes those who wander through their thoughts, through the clouds of the imagination, being fascinated by the views they can see. Those who are nubìvago do not get lost, but take pleasure in a journey that takes place between reason and dream.
The sensations evoked by the word Nubìvago link, inRoberta Ferrara‘s vision, the three titles brought on stage by Equilibrio Dinamico: three choreographies creating cosmos, questions, emotions and empathy.

WALKING AND TALKING
Choreography/Set Concept: Jiří Pokorný
Lighting design: Jiří Pokorný

Production: Equilibrio Dinamico
Duration: 20′
Realized during the choreographic residence “Experimental” supported by Teatro Pubblico Pugliese, Regione Puglia -Fondi Fesr 2007-2013.
No journey is completed in solitude, because thought, never immobile, torments our journey. An incoherent dialogue pushes, shifts and stops the pace. The rhythm falters moment by moment. Life passes while thoughts evolve, flow and drag us away. Can contradictions be believed in? Jiří Pokorný’s answer is yes.

CONTINUUM
Choreography/set concept: Matthias Kass & Clément Bugnon

Duration: 15′
Time is constantly invoked: ‘do you have time to talk to me’ or ‘I don’t have enough time to finish this work’. What is invoked, however, is merely an interval, a window of time that circumscribes the completion of actions. Sunrise and sunset, night and day, follow one another without us really understanding how quickly we are running out of time. If we then look at a broader horizon, everything becomes elusive, and the complexity of time leaves us totally powerless.

A song of lost love, a fragile and celebratory tale. Gestures take the place of words and tell of bodies that impetuously unwind, confront each other, wait for each other and observe each other. A vortex, a challenge of balances and compromises to be found with the body, the heart and the mind.

EQUILIBRIO DINAMICO
The Equilibrio Dinamico company was founded in Apulia in 2011 by Roberta Ferrara, a choreographer, in order to offer a selected group of dancers from Southern Italy the opportunity to compete in an eclectic repertoire of international standing. The openness to quality experimentation, a painstaking and effective dramaturgical work, define the production of Ferrara herself and of the choreographers called to collaborate with Equilibrio Dinamico. In 2014 Vincenzo Losito joined the company, taking on the role of organisational and production manager, and contributing to increasing the group’s international visibility. Thanks to an effective network of exchanges with Europe and Asia, supported by the Teatro Pubblico Pugliese and, among others, the Italian Cultural Institutes of Cologne, Mexico, New York, Athens, Sao Paulo of Brazil, San Francisco and Zagreb, the company performs in countries such as the United States, Mexico, Singapore, Belgium, Germany, Greece, Albania, Kosovo, India, Japan, Spain, Brazil, ODT International – Singapore, Korea Ballet House – Seoul, Staatstheater Ballet Augsburg – Germany and Teatrul De Balet Sibiu – Romania.

PATCHWORK, UN MOSAICO DI STORIE
2022-02-12 17:30 - 18:30, 2022-02-13 17:30 - 18:30 | Fonderia, via della Costituzione, 39, Reggio Emilia, 42124, Italy
Patchwork, un mosaico di storie, written and directed by four hands, is the result of an international co-production.
The production has two twin castles, one Italian and one Canadian. The show, more visual and expressive than words, deals with the theme of identity in today’s contemporary and multicultural society by staging the meeting of two characters who express themselves in Italian, English and French without hindering the understanding of the story.

THE INSPIRATION
Who are we?
How do we create our identity?
We started with an image.
A patchwork blanket, a courtepointe as they call it in Québec, made of many different pieces of fabric.
Often woven by several hands, it can tell the story of a person, an event, an entire family or a generation. It speaks of the identity made up of many different fragments, it speaks of us, and of our being multicultural, of humanity that is increasingly multicolored and multi-ethnic, but with intertwining roots.
Family stories and family trees that can only contain and be the fruit of many journeys. An identity generated by encounters and clashes, the fruit of a thousand migrations.
And so our private history, our identity, a mosaic of stories that starting from Africa with our ancestor Lucy the first Australopithecus, retraces the great journeys of humanity.
Patchwork, un mosaico di storie – ph. Gianluca Bonazzi
THE PLOT
Two characters meet in a place without space or time.
He’s an anthropologist, she’s a seamstress and they meet for work in a place of passage, an airport.
They do not speak the same language but by communicating with looks, gestures and simple words using the narrative power of objects they create a common language that makes communication possible and fun.
Every detail of their luggage tells something, some objects bring them together, others surprise them and so they begin to tell about family trips and adventures. The meeting soon turns into a theatrical game where adults and children are involved in the reflection on two questions that have always accompanied us: who we are and where we come from.
An amusing journey back through the branches of family trees and the migrations that have built the history of humanity, to discover that, since ever, our identity is a patchwork, part of a larger story where each of us is a unique and indispensable piece.
