Solo Echo / Reconciliatio / Glory Hall

Teatro Bellini Naples
29 March H 18.00

CCN/Aterballetto performs at Teatro Bellini from 26 to 29 March 2026.

 

The dancers of CCN/Aterballetto take centre stage in a production by the award-winning Crystal Pite, a Canadian choreographer now firmly in the pantheon of dance. Solo Echo draws inspiration from two cello-and-piano sonatas by Johannes Brahms and the poem “Lines for Winter” by Mark Strand. As in Strand’s poem, Solo Echo calls on winter, music, and the moving body to express something essential about acceptance and loss.

Reconciliatio is a delicate female pas de deux inspired by readings of the Book of Revelation, created by one of the most important choreographers on the international scene, Angelin Preljocaj.

The evening closes with Glory Hall, the new production by Diego Tortelli, offering the company and the audience a tableau of sensuality and overwhelming vitality.

T.R.I.P.O.F.O.B.I.A

Fonderia Reggio Emilia
31 March H 21.00

Pablo Girolami dances through the voids of fear at Fonderia.

The fear of holes—or rather, of all those small geometric shapes that, when clustered together, create tiny openings. Geometry is the medium through which a trypophobic skeleton takes shape; only through the imaginative contribution of the human mind does it become an active gateway to fear and anguish, reflecting human insecurities and paranoias.

Performed together with Giacomo Todeschi, T.R.I.P.O.F.O.B.I.A is a plunge into the body, into its geometries and its irregularities.

Facing a fear is no easy game. The risks are real, but the outcome is certainly worth it. It seems that playing the game rather implies accepting not to play at all. With T.R.I.P.O.F.O.B.I.A., we choose to accept the challenge, transforming ourselves into the parasites that creep into its tunnels.

NOTTE MORRICONE

Serbian National Theatre Novi Sad
8 April H 20.00

As part of the Belgrade Dance Festival, Aterballetto performs Notte Morricone by Marcos Morau at the Serbian National Theatre in Novi Sad.

“I, Ennio Morricone, am dead,” wrote the composer before taking his leave. His music, however, cannot die. And so it is that creators and artists always leave us without ever truly leaving — this is how memory takes care to keep them alive, to keep them safe. Notte Morricone is my gift, a devoted tribute to the beauty he gave to the world.

Notte Morricone unfolds in the twilight of an ordinary night in the life of a creative mind — alone and dazed before his sheets of paper, jotting down notes and imagining melodies for films that do not yet exist, reviving stories in the rarefied air of his room.
Marcos Morau – Director and Choreographer

It is impossible to describe Notte Morricone, a masterful work that comes to the spectator in waves — embracing with emotional surges, capturing through the memory of timeless melodies that have long outlived the images that first inspired them. The choreography, too, is exquisite: finely crafted and always poetic, composed with meticulous attention to detail. Legs and necks seem jointless, bending and snapping rhythmically like metronomes.
Maria Luisa Buzzi – Danza&Danza

On April 11, 2026, Aterballetto performs Notte Morricone by Marcos Morau at the Teatro Regio in Parma.

This is how creators and artists always leave us without ever truly leaving, and how memory takes care to keep them alive, to keep them safe.

Marcos Morau – Director and Choreographer

It is impossible to describe Notte Morricone, a masterful work that washes over the spectator in waves, embraces them with emotional currents, and captivates them with the memory of timeless melodies that have long outlived the images that first inspired them. Equally enchanting is the finely chiselled, ever-poetic choreography, composed with meticulous attention to detail: legs and necks seem jointless, bending and snapping rhythmically like metronomes.

STELLA

Fonderia Reggio Emilia
19 April H 21.00

Luciano Padovani brings the dance of the Years of Lead to Fonderia.

Rome, Saturday 18 March 1978.
An orange commercial envelope is found in an underpass at Largo di Torre Argentina, containing a Polaroid photograph: the portrait of a man in shirtsleeves, a flag with a five-pointed star… and communiqué no. 1 of the Red Brigades.
The years of desire and lead, in a danced fragment of republican Italy.

The lived experience of choreographer Luciano Padovani becomes, in STELLA, material shaped through the bodies and voices of the two performers: Roberta Piazza and Andrea Rizzo.

With them, we enter a brigatist hideout—that hideout… an interior scene inhabited and stirred by intense emotions and moments of great humanity and poetry. A warm atmosphere made of illusions and projections, masterfully suggested by costume designer Lucia Lapolla.

A production by Compagnia Naturalis Labor

Co-production: Festival AbanoDanza 2024

With the support of: MIC – Ministry of Culture, Regione Veneto, Arco Danza, Comune di Vicenza

He came to dance relatively late, during his university studies. A decisive encounter was with Carolyn Carlson, who encouraged him to move abroad. He chose Paris, where he spent two intense years in the heart of the nouvelle danse française. He then returned to Italy and moved to Milan, where he worked with Susanna Beltrami’s company and at Teatro alla Scala. Eventually, he returned to Vicenza and founded Compagnia Naturalis Labor. It was then that he realised that being a choreographer was truly his calling. He describes himself as a “craftsman of the body.”

With the company, he has created dozens of works. He has collaborated on numerous opera productions, in theatre, for events, and has created choreographies for various Italian dance companies. He is the artistic director of Festival AbanoDanza and Visioni di Danza. He lives in Vicenza.

NOTTE MORRICONE

Teatro Carignano Torino
24 April H 20.45

Dal 22 al 26 aprile 2026 Aterballetto danza Notte Morricone di Marcos Morau al Teatro Carignano di Torino per il Torinodanza Extra.

“Io, Ennio Morricone, sono morto”, scrisse il compositore prima di congedarsi. La sua musica, invece, non può farlo. Ed è così che i creatori e gli artisti sempre ci lasciano senza lasciarci, ed è in questo modo che la memoria si preoccupa di tenerli vivi, di tenerli al sicuro. Notte Morricone è il mio regalo, un devoto tributo alla bellezza che ha donato al mondo.
Notte Morricone si svolge nel crepuscolo di una notte ordinaria nella vita di un creativo, che solo e stordito davanti ai suoi fogli, prende appunti e visualizza melodie per film che non esistono ancora, riportando in vita storie nell’aria rarefatta della sua stanza.
Marcos Morau – Regista e coreografo


Impossibile descrivere Notte Morricone, pezzo magistrale che arriva a flutti allo spettatore, lo abbraccia con onde emotive, lo cattura nella memoria di melodie intramontabili sopravvissute di gran lunga alle immagini che le hanno generate. Incantevole pure la coreografia cesellata e sempre poetica, composta con maniacale attenzione al dettaglio: gambe e collo sembrano privi di giunture, si flettono e scattano ritmicamente come metronomi.

The CCN/Aterballetto presents a true dance concert. Solo Echo by Crystal Pite, set to Brahms’ sonatas for piano and cello, summons winter to express something essential about acceptance and loss.
