Centro Coreografico Nazionale / Aterballetto

Don Juan
2023-02-02 20:30 - 22:00 (Europe/Rome) | Teatro Sociale, Via Felice Cavallotti, 20, Brescia
From 31st January to 2nd February at Centro Teatrale Bresciano 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.

MEMENTO - OPEN REHEARSAL
2023-02-07 18:00 - 19:00 | Fonderia, via della Costituzione, 39, Reggio Emilia, 42124, Italy
Memento – Cornelia Dance Company – ph. Sabrina Cirillo
OPEN REHEARSAL
Memento is a dance piece that is based on the non-event. Just as in the Beckettian masterpiece, Waiting for Godot, the tension is created by the succession of hopes that find no concrete outlet, so likewise, in life, every moment is waiting for something definitive that then, when we think we have obtained it, we always discover to be fragmented and subjective.
Within the choreography, the performers experience this waiting and, in their search for a definitive answer, divine or otherwise, to their existential condition, they seek solace from each other, challenge each other, or, like a chorus, all tend toward the same point.
In the end, the very goal of their journey will be realized in the remembrance (memento means, precisely, “remembered”) of these relationships and the sensations they have felt, making it a ritual moment, a sacred, and therefore eternal, act.

CONCEPT
Innovative, out-of-the-box and label-free, “Memento” is a celebration of the self in all its forms and rests its foundation on gender equality. Performers are asked to renounce the inherent characteristics associated with their gender or stereotypes about it. The gaze becomes fixed, facial expressions limited, however, they are also given the opportunity to express, in a fluid manner and according to stage sensibility, the emotionality perceived at that particular moment. Nothing has to start from an idea, but from an internal impulse: in this way the body does not drag behind a stereotyped gesturality, and the choreographic dynamics are built free of all patterns, so that the man can be lifted up by the woman, if the inner need of the couple on stage requires it, reversing (or following) the canons without preconceived barriers.

The succession of tension and apparent calm involves every aspect of the staging. The lights rest on the performers like spots that suddenly appear and, just as suddenly, vanish, conveying the anxiety and agony felt by the play’s protagonists. The atmosphere of unease tends to be amplified by an eternal return to choreographic stillness, stillness that is, however, constantly challenged, not only by the progression of light and darkness, but also by the scenographic dynamics that, by evoking those places that seem suspended between the earthly and the otherworldly like the monolithic complex of Stonehenge, increases the sense of uncertainty and inner disequilibrium. The musical score also contributes to this effect of constant suspension and restart. While, through moments of lightness and irony, the anguish seems to be successfully concealed, Arvo Pärt’s music reinforces the emotionality, denying both dancers and spectators to remain indifferent to the feelings that transpire from the work.
CORNELIA
Cornelia is a dance company founded in 2019 in Naples by Nyko Piscopo, Nicolas Grimaldi Capitello, Eleonora Greco, Leopoldo Guadagno and Francesco Russo.
Key word of Cornelia‘s artistic manifesto is INNOVATION, which manifests itself both by carrying out projects where different languages coexist and through the reinterpretation in a modern key of some classics of dance and literature. Consequently, the themes addressed by the company are those of contemporaneity. They include, in fact, the “instances” of the new generations, such as the battles for self-determination of one’s body and for the affirmation of one’s sexuality, but also investigating the new possibilities of connection given by the social revolution.
In addition to the founders, Cornelia relies on numerous external collaborators who share the same philosophy as the group. The ‘company’s activity is widespread both in Italy and abroad: artistic productions are presented in various Italian theaters (Teatro delle Muse in Ancona, Teatro Bellini in Naples, Teatro Comunale in Vicenza, Teatro Carignano in Turin) and participate in the most important dance and video dance festivals, both national (Venice Biennale 2020, Campania Teatro Festival 2021 and many others) and international (Filmpride in Brighton, Choreoscope in Barcelona), as well as projects streamed in New York, London, Belgrade, Sweden, Iran.
Active not only in dance at the production level, the company is also involved in collaborating in the organization of national events such as MOVI|MENTALE and Cilentart Fest and in training with free initiatives for local dancers such as Wake Up! Training.
It has achieved an important recognition from the Ministry of Culture, being included in the list of dance companies funded by the FUS.

ALI
2023-02-11 17:30 - 18:30, 2023-02-12 17:30 - 18:30 | Fonderia, via della Costituzione, 39, Reggio Emilia, 42124, Italy
Ali – La Ribalta – ph. Andreas Marini
Ali, from texts by Antonio Viganò, Remo Rostagno and Gian Luigi Gherzi, is a creation that stages the encounter between a young man and an angel to tell of confronting identities, mutually unveiled dimensions, impossible challenge between the human and the celestial. The two young performers of the La Ribalta – Kunst der Vielfalt company, Jason De Majo and Michael Untertrifaller, bring to the stage a spectrum of brutal and at the same time tender sensations, capable of creating an infinite range of expressive coloring.
Two perfomances:
Saturday, February 11, 5:30 p.m.
Sunday, February 12, 5:30 p.m.

CREDITS
Text by Gianluigi Gherzi, Remo Rostagno, Antonio Viganò
Directed by Antonio Viganò
Choreography by Julie Anne Stanzak (Tanztheater Wuppertal)
Production direction Paola Guerra
With Michael Untertrifaller and Jason De Majo
Inspired by the 1993 show ALI, a co-production Le Grand Bleu and Teatro La Ribalta
(PremioETIstregagatto 1995).
A production Teatro La Ribalta-Kunst der Vielfalt – Lebenshilfe Südtirol
A tribute to Joseph Scicluna
CONCEPT
Ali is the story of an encounter between an ordinary young man, somewhat disillusioned and pessimistic, and an individual with two red wounds on his shoulders, a fallen angel who is willing to suffer and love as all human beings do. The creature, descended from heaven through a light pole, asks, questions, wants to understand the why of everything. It is as curious and naive as a child.
A web of mutual questioning, curiosity, and conflict is established between the two, causing the angel to discover feelings and sensations he has never experienced before.
The angel and the man meet, clash, struggle, recognize each other, grapple and brush against each other in a dance of life until death. Uncovering memories buried under piles of stones, the angel lays bare man’s life, his sorrows and joys.
Why do you touch where it hurts? Man asks.

The struggle between the two becomes as hard as a game. A cruel and poetic game in which man discovers his uniqueness, his being a unique and unrepeatable “story,” while the angel will have to choose between being everything and nothing or a precise, earthly identity by giving up his divine dimension.
I have no stories
It is not possible. Everyone has one! Everybody!
No, I don’t have stories…no, no. I have one. Just one. This one. (Opens a suitcase of feathers).
And this is your story?
It is my story: sky, air, flying….
I would like to be like you: one suitcase, light. I would like to be like you.
We have illustrious masters to guide us: Rilke with his “Elegie Duinesi”, Peter Handke and Wim Wenders with “Heaven Above Berlin”, Wallace Stevens’ “The Necessary Angel”, James Stephens’ “Semidei”, and Walter Benjamin’s “Angelus Novus”.

TEATRO LA RIBALTA
Teatro La Ribalta – Kunst der Vielfalt is a community of dancers and actors-versus-actors who want to develop their own legitimate strangeness. Live performance workers who are extraordinary solely and uniquely in their way of being on stage and for the professionalism they have chosen to practice.
Daily, doggedly, they work to seek and unveil ” beauty ” and try to give it back, to those who meet them, through poetry and the art of theater. Men and women who like the idea that the boundary between reality and fiction is penetrable, that fantasies and desires can become material, that work subjects and practices become opportunities to live and dream, that a person in difficulty can become the protagonist of his or her own life, when he or she crosses boundaries, changes the everyday, navigates unexplored waters, reconstructs identities. They bring to the theater a mystery, a personal poetics, the shadows and wounds that nourish art and life. They are aware that only through quality artistic practice and a deep work ethic can they defeat prejudices, change paradigms, make people think and move. That is why their theater is a political act.
The company, founded in Bolzano in 2011, has a repertoire of shows (The Sound of Falling, Characters, Nobody Knows About Us, The Dance, H+G, Wings, Superable, Othello Circus, A Peep Show for Cinderella, Paradise Lost) that are touring Italy and Europe and contributing a new look and artistic depth to social art theater.
Winner of the 2015 and 2018 Eolo Award for the shows “H+G” and “Superabile” as the best new productions of the year in the childhood and youth theater sector; the 2015 Critic’s Award promoted by the National Association of Theater Critics as well as the 2018 UBU Special Award “for the quality of artistic, creative and political research in often marginal areas and with capillary attention to diversity ” and Hystrio Award – Other Muses 2021 “for making theater practice an instrument of social inclusion at 360 degrees.”

Double Side
2023-02-11 18:00 - 19:30, 2023-02-12 17:00 - 18:30 | Teatro Morlacchi, Piazza Francesco Morlacchi, 13, Perugia, 06123, Italia
Double Side is at Teatro Morlacchi in Perugia, on 11th and 12th February.
Baroque music and contemporary dance are combined in the new programme of the Italian Fondazione Nazionale della Danza / Aterballetto, which features two choreographers from Canada and Cuba who are little known in Italy, Danièle Desnoyers and Norge Cedeño Raffo. In close collaboration with the Fondazione Arturo Toscanini from Parma, its orchestral counterpart from Emilia-Romagna Region, the renowned company brings along a musical ensemble of singers and string players, dancing to a baroque suite and a “Stabat Mater” by Arvo Pärt.

Synopsis
The Cuban Norge Cedeño Raffo creates to religious music, of all things. The young, up-and-coming choreographer was a soloist with Danza Contemporánea de Cuba, the most important contemporary company in Cuba. Arvo Pärt’s “Stabat Mater” becomes a painful farewell work for him. The Estonian composer set the medieval text about the pain of the Mother of God to music in his characteristic, reduced style. The moving effect of this music also characterises the expressive, free and, in the most beautiful sense, pure dance: how can one find hope again in a destroyed world and after such a great loss, how can one go on living, Norge Cedeño Raffo asks himself in his work.

Choreographer Danièle Desnoyers comes from Montréal, the metropolis of modern Canadian dance, where her light, fluid style and her own company make her a permanent fixture on the contemporary scene. In addition to a theatrical element, her pieces always have a strong relationship to music. Her creation for Aterballetto is based on a suite by the Italian composer Federico Gon; the specialist for baroque music was inspired by Henry Purcell.

Docufilm Stabat Mater - Danzare oltre i confini
Norge Cedeño Raffo’s creation Stabat Mater inspired Rai5 to make the docufilm Stabat Mater – Danzare oltre i confini (Dancing Beyond Borders).
The docufilm closely reports the artistic and human experience of the young talented choreographer, for the first time in Italy, and shows his creative process, in the setting of the Teatro Asioli in Correggio, a small Italian-style theatre immersed in the Po Valley, one of the most fascinating and evocative.
The filming of the docufilm (directed by Alessandro D’Onghia) began on 29 January 2021 (the choreographer’s first day of work with the three dancers) and ended on 6 March 2021 (the day of the closed-door preview at the Teatro Asioli in Correggio, with musicians and singers from the Istituto Superiore di Studi Musicali Achille Peri in Reggio Emilia). The airing of the docufilm on Rai5 was on 29 April 2021, on the occasion of the International Day of Dance.

PREMIERE
The body changing with the years is a central theme in our society, and in the sensibilities of each of us. Aging is not a problem for the actor, writer or visual artist: For those who dance, however? What is the true age of the body?
In a new creation for the Fondazione Nazionale della Danza/Aterballetto, the two renowned choreographers Angelin Preljocaj and Rachid Ouramdane address the theme of the transformation of the body with an evening with senior performers (ages 65 to 79) that premieres on Feb. 15, 2023 in Paris.

PREVIEW

/ New performance for families with a dancer and a singer /
The magical virtuosity of Toti Scialoja (1914-1998), a master not only of images but also of words, is at the heart of this new creation for children, boys and girls by the Fondazione Nazionale della Danza/Aterballetto.
The almost magical vibrations that spring from Scialoja’s poems are like the infinite rings that are created at the surface of the water when a stone is thrown: evocative of unreal or hyperreal images, bearers of a musicality that mixes poetry and nursery rhyme, they make the extraordinary and the frightening go hand in hand.
Sotto un cespo di rose scarlatte
Offre il rospo tè caldo con latte.
Sotto un cespo di rose paonazze
Tocca al rospo sciacquare le tazze.

STRAVAGANZE IN SOL MINORE
2023-02-25 18:00 - 19:00 | Fonderia, via della Costituzione, 39, Reggio Emilia, 42124, Italy
PREVIEW

/ New performance for families with a dancer and a singer /
The magical virtuosity of Toti Scialoja (1914-1998), a master not only of images but also of words, is at the heart of this new creation for children, boys and girls by the Fondazione Nazionale della Danza/Aterballetto.
The almost magical vibrations that spring from Scialoja’s poems are like the infinite rings that are created at the surface of the water when a stone is thrown: evocative of unreal or hyperreal images, bearers of a musicality that mixes poetry and nursery rhyme, they make the extraordinary and the frightening go hand in hand.

Golden Days
2023-02-25 20:00 - 21:15 | La Maison, 2 Bd Pierre de Coubertin, Nevers, 58000, Francia
Aterballetto performs in Nevers, in Burgundy.
Golden Days is an evening that begins with the smoky atmospheres of Rain Dogs and ends with the light and smiles of BLISS through the ironic female solo of Birdland.
All accompanied by the music of Tom Waits, Patti Smith and Keith Jarrett.
“An andante cantabile, an adagio and a rondo. Essentially a concert. Of dance, however, and yet with a great soundtrack.”
Sergio Trombetta, La Stampa, 10.07.2017

Lo scoprirai con PROVE IN CORSO, nostra prima serie di quattro puntate a cura di Nicolas Ballario: uno dei più apprezzati giornalisti di arte contemporanea che grazie alla sua verve unica e alla sua straordinaria competenza avvicina proprio tutti al mondo dell’arte con le sue trasmissioni su Sky Arte e di RadioUnoRai.
Insieme a Ballario entrerai nel mondo della Fondazione Nazionale della Danza / Aterballetto. Tra incontri esilaranti, situazioni ironiche con chi vive ogni giorno la Fonderia e momenti danzati, in quattro puntate con la regia di Fabrizio Spucches, scopriremo le curiosità della compagnia e il dietro le quinte degli spettacoli, in un modo mai raccontato prima.
Partner dell’evento:

Grazie alla collaborazione con YOGI TEA, possiamo omaggiare il nostro pubblico di deliziosi tè e infusi, ispirati all’antica filosofia dell’Ayurveda, che mira al benessere di corpo e mente.
WHAT WILL YOU SEE?

Over Dance

Over Dance arrives in Aix-en-Provence, to the Pavillon Noir, home of Ballet Preljocaj.
The body transforming with the years is a central theme in our society, and in the sensibility of each of us. Aging is not a problem for the actor, writer or visual artist: For those who dance, however? What is the true age of the body?
In a new creation for the Fondazione Nazionale della Danza/Aterballetto, the two renowned choreographers Angelin Preljocaj and Rachid Ouramdane address the theme of the transformation of the body with an evening with senior performers (ages 65 to 79) that premiered on Feb. 15, 2023 in Paris.
Performances at Pavillon Noir (Aix-en-Provence):

Thursday 02.03 – 20h00
Friday 03.03 – 20h00
Saturday 04.03 – 19h00

After Athens (Acropolis Museum, EMST Museum, Stavros Niarchos Foundation Cultural Center, Greek National Opera), Brussels (Les Halles de Schaerbeek) and Rome (Castel Sant’Angelo), the site-specific performance MicroDanze signed Fondazione Nazionale della Danza/Aterballetto arrives in Brescia, thanks to the project of Fondazione Brescia Musei and FND/Aterballetto, for a great event conceived for Brescia and declined in its civic museums, in the year of the Italian Capital of Culture 2023.
MicroDanze Capitale Italiana della Cultura 2023 Brescia/Performance di danza in percorsi urbani is an ambitious project of “danced” performances.
Styles and expressive worlds confront and mix in a single project addressing both art and performing arts audiences. It is a project that aims to explore the potential of dance as public art, grafted into an urban landscape; dance that creatively wanders between very different choreographers, creating radically new opportunities for encounters with the public and for comparison between significant European urban contexts.

WHERE AND WHEN
The performance will be showcased from 3 to 5 March.
You can choose between:
-Turn A: (17.00 – 18.30 – 20.00)
lasting h.1′ 15″

EROIDE CONTEMPORANEA / EUFEMIA - OPEN REHEARSAL
2023-03-06 18:00 - 19:30 | Fonderia, via della Costituzione, 39, Reggio Emilia, 42124, Italy
Massimo Monticelli – Eroide Contemporanea
Giorgia Lolli – Eufemia, ph. Andrea Couceiro
OPEN REHEARSAL
Two young choreographers from Emilia-Romagna confront on stage a deromanticized present and a past with a nostalgic flavor.
Massimo Monticelli, an internationally known dancer and choreographer, drawing inspiration from Ovid’s collections of love epistles, rewrites one of them: his Eroide Contemporanea. The letter becomes an opportunity to pose a reflection on love, art and loneliness.
Giorgia Lolli, through collaboration with Sophie Claire Annen and Vittoria Caneva, creates Eufemia. On stage, a non-romantic vision of romance and a nostalgia for eras never lived meet.
With the patronage of

EROIDE CONTEMPORANEA
Choreography, text, dance: Massimo Monticelli
Music: C. Debussy, B. Bàrtok
Production: TIR dance
With the support of: ImPulsTanz, Vienna (AT), Santarcangelo Festival, Rete h(abita)t Bologna.
In his Heroides, Ovid imagines a collection of letters written by some of the most famous women of myth for their respective men who, for one reason or another, abandoned them. Massimo Monticelli wants here to compose a new eroid. Going through a fragment of life, a letter becomes an opportunity to pose a reflection on love, art and loneliness.

EUFEMIA
By Giorgia Lolli
With Sophie Claire Annen, Vittoria Caneva, Giorgia Lolli
Production: Anghiari Dance Hub 2020
Winner project of the Abitante Call for Proposals – National Center for Dance Production Virgilio Sieni and Fondazione CR Firenze. With the support of SdFactory Laboratorio Creativo (Reggio Emilia) and blueFACTORY (Fribourg, CH).
Selected for the Young Author’s Dance Showcase – action of the Network Antibodies XL 2021.

Eufemia, from the Greek, she who speaks well, or she who is spoken of well, is a creation for three young women and a typewriter. On stage, a non-romantic vision of romance and a nostalgia for eras never lived meet. The performers, furnishing the rooms of a utopian world, construct between the abstract and the concrete a dimension in which everything becomes both subject and frame. They cultivate an “imperfectionism” devoid of approximations, which opens to new possible views and oversights.
Eufemia: celestial, moody, eloquent, intimate, sophisticated, light.
It is everything you decide it is.

Eufemia, Giorgia Lolli – ph. Andrea Couceiro
GIORGIA LOLLI
Giorgia Lolli (Reggio Emilia, 1996) graduated in Contemporary Dance from Zürich University of the Arts and moved to Israel, completing training with Kibbutz Contemporary Dance Company.
