NOTTE MORRICONE
![4. Notte Morricone_ Shooting 1310_PH Alice Vacondio (16)](https://www.fndaterballetto.it/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/4.-Notte-Morricone_-Shooting-1310_PH-Alice-Vacondio-16.jpg)
“‘I, Ennio Morricone, am dead,’ wrote the composer before bidding farewell. His music, on the other hand, cannot. And thus, creators and artists always leave us without leaving us, and thus memory takes care to keep them alive, to keep them safe. Notte Morricone is my gift, a devout tribute to the beauty he gave to the world. Ennio Morricone could be my father, or my grandfather, I am a direct heir to his legacy, to the films that (whether masterpieces, good, mediocre, or bad) owe him an immeasurable debt.” – Marcos Morau
Notte Morricone, the new creation of CCN / Aterballetto by the award-winning choreographer Marcos Morau, debuts on August 1, 2024, at the Arena Sferisterio of the Macerata Opera Festival. The show features the entire ensemble of the Aterballetto Company and, thanks to a group of national co-producers, celebrates the indelible artistic legacy of Oscar-winning Ennio Morricone.
After collaborating with some of the most renowned international choreographers, such as Jiří Kylián, Ohad Naharin, and Johan Inger, the CCN now turns to Marcos Morau, one of the most sought-after choreographers in the contemporary scene. The Spanish author, with his visionary power and the ability to transfigure musical universes, proposes a unique evening that intertwines dance, visual arts, and cinematic suggestions. According to Gigi Cristoforetti, “thanks also to the collaboration of important production partners, some of whom have been faithful over the years, others brand new and arrived for the occasion, the CCN/Aterballetto faces its most ambitious challenge.”
With an innate tendency to reconcile very different vocabularies and inspirations, Marcos Morau is an artist capable of deeply interrogating contemporaneity, of which he is an intense choreographic voice, but not only. In him, the theme of the hybridization of languages is “native,” as we could say borrowing the expression used for millennials and their digital practice.
The show is the result of interdisciplinary collaborations between dance, music, and theater entities. Two main co-producers: Macerata Opera Festival (first outdoor: August 1, 2024) and Teatro di Roma (first indoor: October 24 at Teatro Argentina, where the performances will continue until November 10). Also co-producing are the Fondazione I Teatri di Reggio Emilia, the Centro Servizi Culturali Santa Chiara of Trento, the Centro Teatrale Bresciano, and Ravenna Festival which has made available the Orchestra Giovanile Luigi Cherubini, to which the score is entrusted, adapted and transcribed by Maestro Maurizio Billi.
Il Combattimento di Tancredi e Clorinda
One of Claudio Monteverdi’s most extraordinary works, Il combattimento di Tancredi e Clorinda, which is universally renowned as a masterpiece of Italian Baroque music, celebrates its 400th anniversary in 2024. It has become the foundation for an innovative multidisciplinary project where music, singing, theater, and dance converge in a harmonious blend of performative languages. Philippe Kratz handles the choreography, while Fabio Cherstich directs, bringing together his expertise in visual aesthetics and a passion for expressive languages.

Reconciliatio
The CCN/Aterballetto is among the guest artists at Memorare ’24. Dance and song for peace in the Basilica of San Petronio.
The event, promoted by the Church of Bologna under the guidance of Cardinal Matteo Zuppi, the Municipality of Bologna and Mayor Matteo Lepore, the Teatro Comunale di Bologna and Superintendent Fulvio Macciardi, was conceived by Vittoria Cappelli, who developed the artistic project together with Valentina Bonelli and Don Stefano Culiersi.
A preparation for the upcoming Jubilee, an opportunity for reconciliation with God, with our brothers, and with the earth, which we cannot neglect. The resonance is with Pope Francis’s appeal to be “all brothers,” in a culture of peace, as the pontiff writes in his encyclical on universal fraternity. From Bologna, Memorare ‘24 will launch Cardinal Matteo Zuppi’s invitation to unite in giving hope to the world, in the spirit of solidarity. The gathering of the community responding to this call aims to be a barrier against the winds of war, both old (among others, we remember the Monte Sole massacre, Marzabotto – Bologna, in 1944) and current, especially the ongoing conflicts in Ukraine and Palestine, which provoke and taint our consciences by offering only paths of violence.
For the occasion, CCN/Aterballetto presents for the first time Reconciliatio, an original choreography by Angelin Preljocaj, specially composed for Memorare ’24. To the piano notes of Beethoven’s “Moonlight” Sonata, the female duo composed of Estelle Bovay and Arianna Kob unfolds in a pensive nocturne, between intimate retreats and altruistic impulses. Interpreting the liberating journey of reconciliation to overcome one’s grievances.
Somewhere Between
The 2024/25 dance season at the Fonderia opens with Somewhere Between by FLOCK, a company founded in New York in 2017 by choreographers Florian Lochner and Alice Klock.
“With a quality that is both liquid and articulated, jointed and limbed throughout, the interlocking partnering among the dancers […] produces forms that evolve and develop like watching an agave bloom in the fluctuating luminescence of a desert sky.”
Irene Hsiao, The Chicago Reader

Armoniosa Unità
Armoniosa Unità is the new evening by MM Contemporary Dance Company directed by Michele Merola, consisting of three choreographies: Do Not Call Me a Dancer, choreographed by Giorgia Lolli and dedicated to Isadora Duncan, winner of the Siae Per Chi Crea 2023 award; ComeTe, a female duet by Adriano Bolognino, winner of the 2022 Danza&Danza Emerging Choreographer award; and finally Armoniosa Unità, a creation by Michele Merola and Enrico Morelli, conceived this year to celebrate the birth of Guglielmo Marconi.
VISIONI DEL CORPO: IL CORPO PICCOLO
Visioni del corpo: understanding contemporary art through auteur dance.
A “dancing encyclopedia” that speaks about the world through dance, placing the body at the center of humanity. A series of six cultural dissemination events that began in May 2024, resuming after the summer break with the new season at Fonderia. Connecting arts, movement, and current affairs, the meetings address themes of psychological well-being, the relationship with the city, the future, and ecology, through an experimental cultural medium.
Nicolas Ballario, journalist, curator, and cultural disseminator, introduces the theme of the debate, which, moving between dance and contemporary arts, reflects on the body from a different point of view each time. Each meeting is divided into six moments, dedicated to the works of six artists chosen to explore the main theme: renowned faces of contemporary art, well known to the general public. Each meeting will be interpreted by a choreographer from the contemporary scene, who will translate the suggestions of the discussed works into dance with an original performance, specifically designed for the project.
Third appointment: Friday 27 September h 20.30 at Fonderia
Il corpo piccolo (The little body)
A dialogue with Nicolas Ballario and Lara Guidetti
Choreographies by Lara Guidetti
Focus on Alberto Burri, Maurizio Cattelan, Diane Arbus, Jake e Dinos Chapman, Keith Haring, Nathalie Djurberg
After Il corpo in pericolo and Il corpo nudo, the third event will explore Il corpo piccolo with Lara Guidetti. The public space has undergone a transformation between its physical and virtual dimensions, leading to new identities, functions, and connotations, rapidly rewriting the network of encounters and relationships that inhabit it, cutting across professional and personal, intimate, and collective domains. In the era of images and digital technology, the real dimension of the body, understood in its original proportion in space, is continually modified: contracted within phone screens, expanded in architectural and advertising projections, multiplied, stretched, portioned, and filtered in search of perfect adherence to what one desires the body to communicate. Lara Guidetti will play with these dilations and contractions.
Before and after the meeting, the audience will have the opportunity to experience virtual reality with Kepler by Diego Tortelli: three micro-dancers moving under a display case, inhabitants of a small world that the viewer approaches with a magnifying glass.

Tuesday, October 1st, at 6:00 PM, the audience at the Fonderia will have the opportunity to meet the three new dancers of the company and witness the preparation of Glory Hall, the new creation by Diego Tortelli that will premiere in February at the Teatro Comunale di Bologna.
Open rehearsals are unique moments where you can watch the creation of a performance, interact with the artists, and be amazed by the art of dance: a special opportunity that allows the audience to enter the daily routine of the dancers and choreographers.
Lullaby
Lullaby is the perfect show to make children aged 4 to 6 fall in love with theater.
A show that tells us about the dreams and wonders that often appear to children suddenly, always unexpected, full of amazement.
“Then there is a hot air balloon from which a package falls: it looks like a gift. Chasing it to retrieve what it surely lost, Valentino takes the audience on a journey through the seasons and emotions; while the hot air balloon, from the sky, shows the way to follow.
Each song gives us a different rhythm, emotion, and wonder: from blues to fantasy, from jazz to fear, from samba to laughter.
And the hot air balloon? In the end, it was reached, but the package was not lost: it was a gift for Valentino. What? Of course, a tiny guitar.
An enchanting show that delights the heart and eyes.”Nicoletta Cardone Johnson, EOLO | Rivista online di Teatro Ragazzi
