For the Dance Week, Aterballetto performs from November 7 to 9 at its home venue, La Fonderia.
While half of the company is on tour in South Africa, the remaining eight dancers of Aterballetto offer the Reggio Emilia audience three evenings of performance, dancing on the stage of La Fonderia (via della Costituzione 39) with the following programme:
Preludio by Diego Tortelli, built around some of the most intense poems and songs by Australian singer-songwriter Nick Cave, explores love, faith, dependence, obsession, loss, and the intricate ways these themes intertwine.
An Echo, A Wave by Philippe Kratz, officially premiering during Dance Week, translates the sense of wonder and eternity evoked by the sight of the sea: the dancers’ flowing movements recall the natural, unending motion of the waves, while also reflecting the passage through shifting emotional states.
Finally, Solo Echo by Crystal Pite is inspired by two sonatas for cello and piano by Johannes Brahms and by the poem Lines for Winter by Mark Strand, invoking winter, music, and the moving body to express something essential about acceptance and loss.
The evening opens with a new MicroDanza piece created by Antonella Bertoni especially for the CCN/Aterballetto.
