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.

The protagonists are the dancers of the Agora Coaching Project, an advanced dance training project promoted and supported by the MM Contemporary Dance Company and A.S.D Progetto Danza of Reggio Emilia under the artistic direction of Michele Merola and Enrico Morelli. Started in 2010, the course is now gaining full recognition in the world of European dance and boasts collaborations with internationally renowned teachers and choreographers.
On stage Made in Italy 24.0, a programme consisting of Träfen Wir Uns, Uscita di Sicurezza, LEGO.
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.
Duration: 35′

OMBRE (excerpts) - OPEN REHEARSAL

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.

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, 2021-06-23 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 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.

Frammenti d’Inferno_1 - OPEN REHEARSAL
2021-06-23 18:00 - 19:00 | Fonderia, via della Costituzione, 39, Reggio Emilia, 42124, Italy
OPEN REHEARSAL
Frammenti d’Inferno_ 1 brings the author’s focus to the representation of the demons and damned of the infernal hosts, to the investigation of the characters that the Poet encounters on his journey and the torments reserved for them. A succession of choreographic pictures, with different music and atmospheres. Characters chosen by the choreographer to investigate the human soul and compose a poetic and fascinating picture, perturbing, in which every archetype of the collective unconscious finds its own carnal and earthly manifestation. Dissipating, as Dante did, the darkness that envelops these famous damned souls and bringing them to the light, literally under the spotlight, Monica Casadei chooses to follow them along a path of sin, awareness, acceptance, where the point of arrival is no longer punishment but the expressive power of the Ego, in its fullness and truth.

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.

Ladies and Gentlemen! Consider the creature as God first made it; nothing, just nothing. Add civilization and see what you’ve got: walks upright, wears trousers and carries a cane. It’s all education, he’s got animal brains, or rather: brainy animality, he’s not the pig-stupid sort like some people … The monkey’s already a soldier, though that’s not saying much-the bottom-most species of human kind!

Insights
A ruthless and immoral fresco on today, a middle-class contemporary drama at times familiar, resonates, we are “involuntarily” complicit in it. An overview of stereotypes, of already seen, already said, acted upon. The little theatre of human misery: body and voice at the service of a painful chorus that echoes “The Frogs” by Aristophanes, or perhaps an operetta by Offenbach, or the famous Brechtian “Opera”. Staticity and immobility in response to the imminent, evident collapse (physical, political, social, environmental…). We can’t do anything about it, too late, game over; we watch helplessly, we take note of it, we shrug, sigh and turn around again.
In the question “what is happening around us?” lies the genesis of this creation: a deepening of the international current affairs and the search for connections between the present forms of protest – rarely based on the idea of human evolution and revolution – and the historical Enlightenment (enlightened) vision, which puts Culture and Art at the centre of change.
A creation that once again leads the Company to investigate contemporary social issues, through an amphibious language of strong impact and a complex dramaturgical level in support of the work.
C&C Company
C&C Company was born from the union between Carlo Massari and Chiara Taviani, performers with an eclectic background, in the last decade on international stages as interpreters and creators of different companies. The debut of the first work in 2011: Corpo e Cultura (Body and Culture) immediately highlighted a strong vocation of the Company in search of a necessary physical language, strongly dramaturgical, in close relation with contemporary social issues. This was followed by the international debuts of: “Maria Addolorata”, “Tristissimo” (AnticorpiXL), “012”, “Peurbleue”, “Don’t Be Afraid”, “Dead Weight”, “Beast Without Beauty”. They have received prestigious awards, among them: “1st” Hiver Oclytes/Les Hivernales (F), “2nd” Hannover International Choreographers Competition (D), “2nd” Zawirowania Competition (PL), “Audience Award” Konzert Theater Berne (CH), “Finalist” Machol Shalem Dance Competition (I), “Special Mention” Premio Roma Danza (IT), “2nd” Corto in Danza (IT), Premio Palco Aperto (IT), “1st” E “Premio del Pubblico” CrashTest, “1°” Premio Twain.
In these years, in parallel with the production activity, have taken life performative projects with public participation: ContaminAzioni, SpringRoll (RomaEuropa ’16), Femminile Plurale. Currently the Company is engaged in the development of the extensive research “Beast Without Beauty”, which sees within it the alternation of social projects and international co-productions.
Since 2017 the artistic direction of the Company has been entrusted to Carlo Massari.

Storie
2021-06-30 21:30 - 23:00 | Chiostro Grande Santa Maria Novella, Piazza Santa Maria Novella, 18, Firenze, 50123, Italia
THE PERFORMANCE WAS CANCELLED FOR REASONS RELATED TO THE HEALTH EMERGENCY.
Aterballetto dances at Florence Dance Festival and presents Storie for the first time.
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.

Another Story
2021-07-10 20:00 - 20:15 | 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.

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.
