Dance Week is for the children of Reggio Emilia too!
On Monday, November 10 at 10:30 a.m. and 2:30 p.m., the doors of La Fonderia open to nursery and primary schools of Reggio Emilia.
The magical virtuosity of Toti Scialoja (1914–1998) — a master not only of images but also of words — is at the heart of Stravaganze in sol minore by Francesca Lattuada, a creation for children presented by the CCN/Aterballetto.
The almost magical vibrations that flow from Scialoja’s poems are like the endless ripples formed on the surface of water when a stone is thrown: evoking unreal or hyperreal images, imbued with a musicality that blends poetry and nursery rhyme, where the extraordinary and the frightening meet and hold hands.
Beneath a bush of scarlet roses
The toad serves hot tea with milk.
Beneath a bush of purple roses
It’s the toad’s turn to wash the cups.
