The Chiostri di San Pietro are the most extraordinary monumental complex in Reggio Emilia, one of the most striking of the Italian Renaissance, with a shape that bears the recognisable hand of Giulio Romano.
The Chiostri di San Pietro are the evocative setting of DANZA AI CHIOSTRI, a summer event curated by the Fondazione Nazionale della Danza / Aterballetto and the Fondazione I Teatri di Reggio Emilia as part of the Restate summer programme of the Municipality of Reggio Emilia.

BOXES
UnterWasser’s “boxed” micro-performances arrive at the Fonderia
Saturday 14 and Sunday 15 November at 3.00 pm and 7.30 pm
BOXES is a work of visual theatre and an installation made up of “boxes” that hold micro-performances and interactive games, to be experienced by one viewer at a time.
The audience is invited into an intimate, personal and dedicated experience. Looking through small slits and openings, viewers come into contact with small poetic worlds, gathered and protected inside the boxes.
BOXES is an open project, born from the reworking of Lambe Lambe theatre and from research into the effects and techniques of pre-cinema.
POP
Play in Nicola Galli’s performance enlivens the season at the Fonderia.
Saturday 14 November 4.00 pm
Sunday 15 November 4.00 pm
POP is an event for children and families that places the body at the centre as a tool for exploring its expressive and communicative potential.
Through play, the interactive performance invites participants to experiment with different possibilities of movement and to take time to discover new perceptions, sensations and emotions connected to movement.
On a square platform covered in bubble wrap, the dancer bends and extends the joints, tracing figures and geometries. The audience is invited to interact with the material and with the performance space, sharing the pleasure of moving and exploring.

CUOR DI CONIGLIO
The Compagnia Dimitri/Canessa dances in search of the lost heart at the Fonderia.
Saturday 14 November 6.00 pm
Sunday 15 November 6.00 pm
Cuor di Coniglio is a poetic modern fairy tale that explores fragility and the courage of self-acceptance. Vincent is a happy, imaginative child who, wounded by the cruel dragon of other people’s judgement, shuts himself away in his inner castle, losing touch with himself. With the help of Rosi, an eccentric and dancing rabbit, Vincent sets out on a symbolic and surreal journey in search of his lost heart. Through the language of physical theatre and clowning, the performance is an invitation to overcome the fear of judgement and to discover the beauty in fragility: a hymn to the freedom of being oneself, to look at the world from a new perspective and to show oneself, simply, for what one is.

MEET THE COREOGRAPHER!
Choreographic encounters for the Danza in Fonderia season.
From Monday 16 to Friday 20 November 4.30 pm
Saturday 21 November 10.30 am
Meet the coreographer! is an educational project curated by Annika Pannitto for children aged 7 and over. The workshop unfolds across a series of encounters with some of the choreographers who have marked the evolution of dance over the past sixty years and have proposed an expansion of its traditional meaning.
The title takes its cue from the expression Meet the Artist, which usually denotes the moment when the artist is invited to talk with the audience to share the process behind a performance. Although not live, the project makes it possible to meet the choreographers through their works, to begin a journey of learning and to discover how dance and choreography have evolved and questioned their own history, profoundly changing the use of the body and its relationship with movement.
The idea is to bring children closer not only to the individual works, but also to the context in which they were created, to the processes that made them possible, and to the exercises and studies that the artists developed to build their own path and through which they contributed to the evolution of the live arts. For the autumn season of Danza in Fonderia, the choreographer in focus will be William Forsythe.
