Another Story
2021-07-10 20:00 - 20:15 (Europe/Rome) | Giardino Pomario del Castello dell’Acciaiolo, via Pantin 63, Scandicci, FI, 50018, Italia
CANCELLED PERFORMANCE
The performance has been cancelled due to some positive cases among the dancers, in compliance with prevention and safety measures to combat and contain the spread of Covid.
Another Story, the duet by Diego Tortelli, is at Scandicci, near Florence, for the festival Nutida.
Starring Ina Lesnakowski and Hélias Tur-Dorvault.
Another Story tells 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.

CANCELLED PERFORMANCE
The performance has been cancelled due to some positive cases among the dancers, in compliance with prevention and safety measures to combat and contain the spread of Covid.
Aterballetto dances Storie at Teatro Sociale Capovolto inTrento.

Storie is a small anthology of danced fragments. They are only an infinitesimal part of the very rich artistic and human universe of the two choreographers Diego Tortelli and Philippe Kratz.
Tortelli creates two pieces: Preludio, opening the bill, is a love letter to the body for five dancers on Nick Cave music, Another story is a duo about the impossible gesture of 2020, the hug.
Between past and future the two creations by Kratz. The duo “O” offers us two human bodies / robots that force us to question ourselves on how the sense of physical contact might change: will it remain emotional and heartfelt, or will it become serial and alienated?
Alpha Grace, a creation for six dancers at the end of the bill, is a reflection on empathy, a form of gentle communication among people who feel on the same level. It too is severely stretched by the present times.

Choreography created for Grace Lyell with the projetc In/Finito

The life of our city is full of poetic and marvellous subjects. We are wrapped and enveloped in an atmosphere that has much that is wonderful, but we aren’t aware of it.
Don’t disregard anyone’s sensitivity. Each person’s sensitivity is their genius.
Charles Baudelaire

Using a fragmented movement a dancer wants to tell the tragedy and constant innovation of the Body, a dance that doesn’t wait for time to flow, but shapes it at its will by speeding up and slowing the hours to reveal their skill, beauty, distortion and memory. Freedom of corporal expression of this poetic is achieved by a total embrace of the body’s folly just as the “maudit” deals with his place in society by destroying every rational connection before letting his own experience take over, without constraints. The dancer will face the reflection of her image portrayed in the photograph, breathing life, folly and imagination into the place where her portrait was made and constantly recreating herself and providing the city with a body and a sensitivity as it too is a poetical and marvellous subject.

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.

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.

Creation for the launch of Marina Rinaldi by Roksanda capsule (2019)

In the performance created for the launch of the Marina Rinaldi by Roksanda capsule in 2019, I am going to draw geometric shapes and patterns through dance and body, following and connecting my work to the designer’s creations, but also from the idea of “opposites”.
I am fascinated by the concept of elements that are born from a principle of “abstractionism” but find their own story when meeting; just as a body finds its own narrative and the right feeling when wearing a dress, so the dancing body finds its own narrative sense in the encounter with music.
I imagine therefore an exclusive performance, where the bodies of the dancers intertwine creating plastic figures, broken lines and games of fluid geometries, but always accompanied by the harmonious and poetic sound of a young cellist, to give geometry a soul, a place, a time. Colour, shape and fluidity: a performance built for an audience that loves to be carried away by the poetry of line and elegance. Drawing inspiration from the patterns at the base of Marina Rinaldi by Roksanda capsule, I am going to create an abstract poem of bodies immersed in colour.
A declaration of love to contemporary art, to what defines it: geometry, matter and poetry.

Wrapped in the elegant and impalpable costume of Bruno Fatalot, a dancer moves solemnly on a barrel-pedestal, pulled by the painful and mysterious note of Beethoven’s Allegretto. His dance fascinates and seduces, as impressive as a prayer song.
An im-mobile dance.
Im-mobility of the secular tree.
Soft movements, invisible to the naked eye.
The blood dripping in the veins, the heart beating.

Obstinate Love.

Dante Solo Inferno - Open Rehearsal
2021-09-11 18:00 - 19:00 | Fonderia, via della Costituzione, 39, Reggio Emilia, 42124, Italy
OPEN REHEARSAL
An intricate forest, swamps and rivers with dark, stagnant water, caves, mud and stones, rains of fire, boiling blood. The landscape described by Dante Alighieri’s verses takes shape and body in the choreography Dante Solo Inferno, created by Monica Casadei for the Compagnia Artemis Danza and inspired by the first cantica of the Commedia.

CREDITS
Choreography Monica Casadei
Music Franz Liszt, Giuseppe Verdi, Alfred Schnittke, Krzysztof Penderecki
Musical arrangements Luca Vianini
Production Compagnia Artemis Danza
In partnership with Ravenna Festival

Synopsis
In this performance, conceived to celebrate the 700th anniversary of the Poet’s death, the dancers redraw the contours of an inhospitable land, where torments of the damned serve their sentence. The choreographic movements become a mirror of the torment, the bodies are shaped in torsions, syncopes, contractures, insoluble weaves. And yet, as in Dante’s Inferno, there are traces of a decayed humanity, souls that preserve memory of themselves and their past, individualities that emerge like spots of colour in the indistinct magma, out of a desire to tell the outside observer about their lives before death.
Some of them cross the stage still wearing their worn-out earthly clothes, remnants of a nobility that is no longer worth anything, where everyone is equal. Others take shape through the reading of Dante’s verses. Paolo and Francesca da Rimini, Pier Della Vigna in the forest of suicides, Tiresia, Ulysses, Minos… characters that Monica Casadei chooses to investigate the human soul, in a path that from the awareness of sin goes beyond condemnation, towards compassion and acceptance of human nature. There is no lack of moments of sacredness, such as a dance by dervishes in their ample red robes, spinning moved by the wind.
Music contributes to making the journey even more intense: Franz Liszt’s Dante-Symphonie, inspired by the composer’s reading of Dante’s Commedia, and Lacrymosa from Giuseppe Verdi’s Messa da Requiem, meet pages by contemporary composers such as Alfred Schnittke and Krzysztof Penderecki, and the sound atmospheres of Luca Vianini.
Dante Solo Inferno is a constantly evolving journey, part of a wider project of exploration by Monica Casadei of Dante’s Inferno, which has also taken shape in her creations Ombre and Frammenti di Inferno.

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.

PREMIERE
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.
The initial idea when I approached this new work was to create a piece for a group of 5/6 dancers. However, the current pandemic situation has affected my idea, leading me to change my plans and “forcing” me to interact with only two performers. This “obstacle”, so to speak, has made me think and it has led me to the creation of a duet that is not caged in a pre-defined structure. A duet that is open to future evolutions: an enlargement or, to be more precise, a return to a greater number of dancers.

Synopsis
Dance as subtraction and separation, that restrains itself from freeing impulses and piling up gestures and movements, its poses shine with those things they do not produce. _ Maurizio Zanardi
Home Altrove brings into the actual context the shared creation process Elsewhere undertaken together with the historical dancer Eva Karczag and the solo project Home, transforming them into a new way of approaching the scene that carries the signs of the last year’s complex experience.
Starting from the assumption that the process behind the act of performing can be considered ‘home’ as a personal, functional and emotional archive – and therefore as a place of identity – Home Altrove explores shifting, floating languages that flow within a living, heterogeneous environment in which the boundaries – between spaces, languages and directions – are both sources of turbulence and richness.
Over the last year, the project has evolved as a result of a series of events and circumstances, leading to different possible versions on (or off) the stage.
For the debut of the theatrical version, Daniele Albanese is inviting the philosopher Maurizio Zanardi to participate in a discussion that, starting from the questions raised by the work (“In a world of constantly changing and liquid boundaries like the contemporary one, what is home?”), opens up to a wider conversation on the role of dance “in the current society of control”.
“Dance” would therefore be on the one hand the name of the unconditional, absolute gesture-step-passage, and on the other hand the scheme that, both in the dance action and in the organisation of its public use, sometimes excludes it, sometimes anticipates it, sometimes neutralises it while codifying it.
In any case, dance seems to be a practice pervaded by heterogeneous forces that are constantly bringing it into play. So how does dance come into play in today’s society of control? _ Maurizio Zanardi
DANIELE ALBANESE
Daniele Albaneseis a choreographer, dancer and performer based between Italy and Berlin. After having trained as a gymnast and ballet dancer, he obtained a BA at EDDC (now ArtEZ) in Arnhem – The Netherlands where he studied with several leading figures linked to American Post-modernism.
Since 1995, while developing his work as an independent author, he has been collaborating with many renowned artists such as Benoit Lachambre, Virgilio Sieni, Nigel Charnock, Jennifer Lacey, Enzo Cosimi, Eva Karczag.

In 2002 he established his own company Compagnia STALKER_Daniele Albanese in order to investigate dance as a language in terms of relationship between closed and open structures, in search of a choreographic sign which would be precise and mutable at the same time.
His research inhabits the constant flow that goes from the body as an object to the body as a subject through a flux of transformations in which gestures become abstractions and viceversa.
His works explore the hybrid forms that arise in the transition from a place to another, from a movement to another, in which boundaries are not seen as obstacles but rather as a point of turmoil that generates new ways of encountering the audience, thus leading it to unusual dimensions of perception.

Synopsis
La danza come sottrazione e separazione, che si trattiene dal liberare gli impulsi, dall’ammucchiare gesti e movimenti, le cui posture risplendono piuttosto di ciò cui non danno luogo. _ Maurizio Zanardi
Home Altrove ricolloca nel contesto attuale il processo di creazione condivisa Elsewhere intrapreso insieme alla storica danzatrice Eva Karczag e il progetto solista Home, traducendosi in un nuovo modo di affrontare la scena che porti i segni della complessità del vissuto dell’ultimo anno.
A partire dal presupposto che il meccanismo sotteso all’atto performativo può essere considerato ’casa’ in quanto archivio personale, funzionale, emotivo – quindi luogo dell’identità – Home Altrove indaga forme di linguaggio mutevoli, flottanti, che fluiscono all’interno di un ambiente vivo, eterogeneo in cui il confine – tra spazi, linguaggi e direzioni – è luogo di turbolenza, di problematicità ma anche di ricchezza.
Nell’ultimo anno il progetto si è sviluppato per concatenazioni di eventi e contingenze, dando vita a diverse possibilità di traduzione sulla (o fuori dalla) scena.
In occasione del debutto della sua versione più propriamente teatrale, Daniele Albanese invita il filosofo Maurizio Zanardi a un dialogo aperto che, a partire dalle questioni sollevate dal lavoro (“In un mondo dai confini liquidi e in continuo divenire come quello contemporaneo, cos’è casa?”), si apre a un discorso più ampio sul ruolo della danza “nell’attuale società di controllo”.
“Danza” sarebbe, dunque, il nome allo stesso tempo, ma secondo due linee eterogenee, del gesto-passo-passaggio incondizionato, assoluto, e lo schema che, nell’effettuarsi stesso della danza o nella organizzazione del suo uso pubblico, ora lo esclude, ora lo anticipa, ora lo neutralizza codificandolo. In ogni caso, la danza appare come una pratica percorsa da forze eterogenee che la mettono di volta in volta in ballo. Ebbene, come entra in ballo la danza nell’attuale società di controllo? _ Maurizio Zanardi

MICRODANZE
2021-10-09 11:00 - 18:00, 2021-10-10 11:00 - 18:00 | Acropolis Museum / EMST Museum / Stavros Niarchos Center, Athens, Grecia
MicroDanze, the complex project of the Fondazione Nazionale della Danza / Aterballetto combining dance, visual art, public art and virtual reality, premieres (as far as the “exhibition” dimension is concerned) in Athens on 9 and 10 October, at several relevant cultural venues of the city: the Greek National Opera / Stavros Niarchos Cultural Center, the Acropolis Museum and the EMST Museum.
The project is conceived by the general director and programming manager Gigi Cristoforetti, the choreographies by Norge Cedeño Raffo, Francesca Lattuada, Pietro Marullo, Fernando Melo, Angelin Preljocaj, Roberto Zappalà, Diego Tortelli, Saul Daniele Ardillo, Philippe Kratz, Ina Lesnakowski, Roberto Tedesco, Hélias Tur-Dorvault.

On the occasion of the dates in the Greek capital, the 12 MicroDanze of the Fondazione Nazionale della Danza/Aterballetto are joined by 9 other creations by Greek choreographers and dancers, with the artistic coordination of the Greek National Opera Ballet, directed by Konstantinos Rigos. Among the various artists involved on the Greek side are Lenio Kaklea, Cecilia Bengolea, Yiannis Nikolaidis and Rigos himself. Thus, an exhibition of 21 creations comes to life, celebrating 200 years since the 1821 revolution that led to Greek independence.
The exhibition of the 12 MicroDanze of the Fondazione Nazionale della Danza/Aterballetto is curated by director Fabio Cherstich.
MicroDanze, co-produced by the Fondazione Palazzo Magnani of Reggio Emilia, is part of the project An Ideal City, co-financed by the Creative Europe programme of the European Union and developed by the Fondazione Nazionale della Danza / Aterballetto in partnership with the Greek National Opera in Athens and Les Halles de Schaerbeek in Brussels.
The world premiere in Athens is supported by:

Don Juan
2021-10-16 20:00 - 21:40, 2021-10-17 19:00 - 20:40 | Forum am Schlosspark, Stuttgarter Straße 33, Ludwigsburg, 71638, Germania
Ludwigsburg is the first German city to stage 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.

Bayadère. Il regno delle ombre
2021-10-20 20:30 - 21:30 | Fonderia, via della Costituzione, 39, Reggio Emilia, 42124, Italy
NuovO BallettO di ToscanA – Bayadère. Il regno delle ombre
A contemporary Bayadère, light years away from the exoticism, the Brahmins and Pashas of the nineteenth-century archetype designed by Marius Petipa to the music by Ludwig Minkus. Michele Di Stefano captures the timelessness of the ‘classic’ in Act III of Bayadère, the so-called Kingdom of Shadows, where the impalpable souls that appeared in a dream to the warrior Solor after smoking a hookah descend in arabesques penchées the slopes of the Himalayas.
An enchanting vision, a white act of amazement that is now translated into a psychedelic and contemporary vision but always with Minkus accompanying it.

Synopsis
Bayadère is a ballet steeped in idealised exoticism, both in its melodramatic plot and in its overall aesthetic.
Traditionally its most famous scene, the Kingdom of Shadows, is borderline on the boundary between the real and the afterlife, where the shadows that appear are as if frozen in their tragic condition and the movements they make are ritualistic; the act expresses a vision that goes beyond the context and opens up a passage of pure movement, abstract and lucid in its formal simplicity.
My interest lies precisely in the compositional potential that this scene contains, not to replicate it but to unleash all its dynamic force and also to give Solor’s hallucination back its true psychedelic nature. Conceived for an ensemble of very young talents, this new Kingdom of Shadows, so mysteriously full of suggestions, belongs to the exceptional times we are living, because it refers to something lost and something possible at the same time, something that concerns the presence of bodies and the interweaving of their trajectories, in a space that is no longer just a beyond but a present that wants to be reinvented with grace and passion.
Michele Di Stefano
NuovO BallettO di ToscanA
The Compagnia Professionale Nuovo Balletto di Toscana, now managed by the new cultural association ‘Balletto di Toscana’, has been a significant presence in the news and history of Italian dance since 1970.
It has always been animated by the commitment, skills and passion of its leader Cristina Bozzolini, first with the ‘Collettivo Danza Contemporanea’ (Contemporary Dance Collective), then with the experience of the professional company of the Balletto di Toscana, which for fifteen years, from 1985 to 2000, became a major presence of outstanding excellence on the international scene, and finally with the operation of its own youth ensemble, the ‘Junior BdT’, which in the last ten years has been able to conquer the stages of many prestigious Italian theatres.
The Nuovo BdT is now a rigorously professional production structure, supported by the MIC, the Region of Tuscany and the Municipality of Florence, with a medium-sized artistic company of 12/14 dancers, in accordance with the most significant and qualified experiences of professional companies.
The current artistic programme, thanks also to a team of collaborators and authors of renowned reputation, alongside Cristina Bozzolini, recalls a constant and coherent cultural policy with the affirmation of the primacy of contemporary choreography, with a plurality of expressive languages. In the past years the authors of great relevance have been Fabrizio Monteverde, Mauro Bigonzetti, Virgilio Sieni, Cristina Rizzo, and later Eugenio Scigliano, Arianna Benedetti, Davide Bombana, Nicola Galli, Diego Tortelli.

Sanpapié – Amigdala
AMIGDALA pursues the Compagnia Sanpapié‘s research towards a “public dance” conceived as a shared experience of audience and performers in urban and natural venues, architectures, buildings, theatres: spectators are invited inside the performance itself, sharing concrete spaces that cancel distances and renounce filters. Music, words and sounds are given back through a system of silent-disc headphones that allows maximum dynamism through the urban setting in spontaneous and daily movement.
A walking performance through the spaces of the Fonderia.

In collaboration with Cluster TAV – TechForLife Cluster Lombardo Tecnologie per gli Ambienti di Vita, Dr. Antonella Monteleone, IEO Institute and patients of the project We Will Care
Synopsis
The dance occupies the space in its contemporary and abstractive dimension through compositions and ruptures in constant evolution that do not allow a linear narrative, but open to a common, emotional, energetic and empathic feeling. The shaping of the performance on the specific characteristics of each place and the inclusion of the people moving in the choreographic design and in the musical composition, create a space of common freedom where you can choose and change point of view, position and relationship with the stage action.
AMIGDALA deals with the mechanism of trauma, defined as that event produced in the organism by any agent capable of sudden and very rapid action, which causes general alterations, change, transformation, evolution. The organism is meant as the human body, the social body, common space and perceived time. It could be an illness, an accident, an earthquake, a social or economic crisis, a birth or a death, but each time we would be faced with the need to reorganise and recreate a system that has shattered and split in order to generate itself again.
AMIGDALA, as the title suggests, explores what happens in our cerebral amygdalae at that point of rupture and transformation, investigates what our common dynamics of reaction and perception are, and goes on to investigate how our emotional, bodily and social intelligence behaves in the face of change.
AMIGDALA is an emotional exploration, a choral work, a pagan and contemporary dance that celebrates the individual as a fundamental part of extended systems that break down and rebuild in the carousel of existence and time. It is a unique dancing organism, a fragmented social body in continuous metamorphosis that challenges itself in the fall and in the change, exorcising with the body the fear of diversity and of the unknown, losing identities and inventing new ones. There is no single style or form for dance: the body continuously loses and reshapes itself in response to external stimuli, becoming the scene of elusive dynamics.
The music, composed by Francesco Arcuri, comes from a composition he made during the first lockdown in 2020, then opened, fragmented and recomposed through rhythmic and sound explorations made with “broken” objects and musical instruments, that is, that have lost their main function but are provoked to a new sound and rehabilitated in the music.
Voices and testimonies of real people who have offered their own stories following a trauma and words directed to the spectators, enter the sound fabric and then leave it in an attempt to generate in the audience a direct experience of the functioning of their amygdalae and the emergence of emotions.
TAV- cluster of Lombardy for living environments, supported the first phase of topic research through workshops with experts, clinicians, psychotherapists, neuroscientists and caregivers, while the patients of the We Will Care project, created the bridge with reality, giving Amigdala their time, their stories and their voices.
AMIGDALA, before being a performance, wants to be a shared experience: a way to experience the real space through the ephemeral presence of dance in order to imagine it as well as see it, to inhabit it as well as go through it. It is a provocation and a game, an invitation and an occupation, a macabre dance to exorcise fear and re-establish the ritual of celebration.
Sanpapié
Sanpapié was born in 2008 from the will of four newly graduated young people: Lara Guidetti, dancer and choreographer, Sarah Chiarcos, playwright, Marcello Gori, musician, and Fabio Ferretti, organizer, They were all interested in investigating the depths of their artistic research without forgetting their Excel sheets. Like all companies, in 13 years it has gone through very different phases and seasons lost pieces only to find them again, missed trains, and won fundings, but one thing that it has never done is to betray its original spirit: looking for the most special and impervious way to reach to the heart of the beholder.
Sanpapié has been and continues to be the home of a group of artists and producers in continuous motion, constantly looking for new stimuli and new challenges. An extended family from Emilia-Milanese-Romagna-Genoese (with flashes of Campania, Puglia, Sicily, and Tuscany) has not been afraid of growing and turning into a virtuous cultural enterprise.
From 2015 to 2017, Sanpapié has received the contribution of MiBACT as a dance production company; from 2017 to 2019 it won the Funder35 call of the Cariplo Foundation; from 2018 to 2020 it has obtained the contribution for ‘continuous activity by the Municipality of Milan and in its history, it has performed in Italy, in France, the United Kingdom, Spain, Germany, Portugal as well as China.

Here is the greeting you had to become.
I awaited it comprehensively because in all our things there were sentences and redemptions.
Inside there is the desire to which I had to return to and which I had to preserve.
A resolute control of aspirations is needed in order not to become a victim of them.
You are without siege, and I am no longer a smile but the winter.
Cover yourself too.
You said that every body is seeking, calling, must fulfil itself.
It’s true, here is the ritual to leave.
I feel that you want to drag me into your space but I have chosen to let myself return to myself, in symbiosis
with my wide gestures and without constraints.
Until they are accomplished we will guard our
sleep, but standing sideways, to give access to nightmares.
Then I will open my hands as if I am in a space of my own, without having yours around me trying to
take one last close-up look.

Duration 24’30”
Surrendering to the earth with an exhausted gesture, the body turns into a closed century.
Let go.
Intensity, delicacy, violence, sincerity, intimacy.
Take it all in again and look after it. A game that never ends.
Each time, pain is a great discovery. Lightning, like a black star.
Something is missing, you begin to live without it, as you search for the vanishing point of life. It scrapes the empty words, invents a new language, obtains by subtraction.
It is fear that comes but arrives together with courage.
Strength. And courage.
They are needed.
To learn again where the cardinal points are and then the exact vertical.
To make the balance square 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 its own way hospitable.
And you walk, you go ahead in the disorder of destiny, you obey the failure of time that falls on you
on you without you being able to stop it.
It affects us all.
A compulsory, obligatory passage, no escaping, no running away, the bridge has collapsed.
Count the hours, 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’ve got to get through it before tomorrow.
And don’t forget it from tomorrow.

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.

Young dancers of the StudioXL advanced training course Reggio Emilia

STUDIOXL CONTEMPORARY DANCE

SWANS_1
2021-11-04 20:30 - 21:30 | Fonderia, via della Costituzione, 39, Reggio Emilia, 42124, Italy
What does it remain today of a choreographic work that is considered a milestone in the history of Western dance at the beginning of the 20th century? In what forms has it survived over time? Who will take up its legacy?
The project Swans Never Die invites audiences and artists to think about The Dying Swan as an opportunity to learn about the many forms of its existence over time, since it was choreographed by Michel Fokine for Anna Pavlova in 1905.
Following the stages of this journey through the history and memory of dance, the spectator will be able to discover the bodies in which a choreographic work from the past survives, who takes up its legacy and the values it can transmit today and in the future.
The evening Swans_1 includes new creations by Chiara Bersani, Philippe Kratz e Silvia Gribaudi.
The performance will be followed by a talk hosted by the journalist Greta Pieropan.

Swans never die is a project conceived and realised by :

The animal is standing still.
The animal is a house.
The animal is a war memorial.
Did the animal fall?
No. The animal was under the table when everything was falling.
Does the animal travel?
No. There’s too much debris.
He could get hurt. More than this?
More than this might kill it.
The animal hears ghosts.
The animal chose them.
If you want to meet the animal, you have to ask permission.

Open Drift
Choreography Philippe Kratz
Dancers Antonio Tafuni and Nagga Giona Baldina
Original music Borderline Order
On commission of Festival Operaestate-Bassano del Grappa
The Dying Swan by Anna Pavlova and Michel Fokine is a representation of the final moments of a living creature and it alludes to the idea of transformation. We are observing a creature transforming itself into a different state of existence.
In a spiritual and philosophical perspective, we tend to use the word “passage” when referring to death because we see this process as a process of transition, just as all life can be seen as a sequence of transformations.
But is it possible to encapsulate a single moment in time? With this duet, I wanted to try.
The physical research is based on the idea of floating and fluctuating. Two bodies meet by chance because the currents of life have brought them together in the open sea. Something firm and resolute appears in their bearing as if they are determined to make the most out of their encounter. They know they have been accidentally brought together, but they also know that, for this brief moment, one will be the only witness to the existence of the other, and vice versa, before drifting off again in different directions, disconnected and unrelated, but potentially transformed for the better.
Philippe Kratz

Open Drift has been created in a personal moment of transition of the choreographer and it is the result of the two-way exchange between Philippe Kratz, at the end of his career as a dancer, and the two young performers, at the beginning of their working experience.
Peso Piuma
by and with Silvia Gribaudi
Music Nicola Ratti
With the collaboration of Associazione Culturale Zebra
Peso Piuma was created as part of the project SWANS NEVER DIE
Peso Piuma is a performance inspired by the first version of The Dying Swan created by Michel Fokine and danced by Anna Pavlova.
In her interpretation, Anna Pavlova included in the choreography movements that were expressions of her own feelings, performing a revolutionary act that betrayed the codes of the dance of the 1900s: Choreographers’ and dancers’ roles became blurred.
The dance that was staged belonged to both the choreographer and the performer, it was impossible to know how much belonged to one or the other.
The dance that was staged belonged to both choreographer and performer, it was impossible to know how much belonged to one or the other.
Which is the invisible legacy that remains for those who will dance that choreography?
How is a movement transmitted and re-interpreted?
Where do the past and the present meet in the body? How does the gesture go beyond time?
In a 15-minute performance, together with the public, I explore the intimacy of the body, the abandonment to it. I reconstruct new movements, with effort and happiness, repeating those arms and that broken neck of Pavlova.
I have tried to start from those steps that give impetus to the fall. It is a fall in order to get up again.
