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.

Cry Violet

Fonderia Reggio Emilia
8 April H 19.00

Panzetti / Ticconi: dance between expiation and greenwashing at Fonderia.

CRY VIOLET, named after the extinct flower of the same name, is a choreographic creation by and with Panzetti / Ticconi, set to a sound composition conceived and performed by Teho Teardo.

Using a gestural code that evokes expressions of pain and shame inspired by the iconography of original sin, the work highlights the human tendency to atone for guilt through practices that attempt either to repair environmental damage already done or to conceal it. Widespread phenomena such as greenwashing, in fact, represent deceptive practices that evade real solutions to the damage human action has inflicted on the environment.

Actions such as cleaning merge with crying. In this context, a common object like a cloth or handkerchief transforms its function—from a cleaning tool into an element that holds pain, absorbing tears. Echoing Lady Macbeth’s repeated and futile gesture of trying to wash away the mark of guilt from her hands, the two performers trace the mechanical ritual of cleaning and concealing. It is within this limbo—between genuine attempts and merely superficial efforts to repair the damage—that CRY VIOLET takes shape, in a shifting complicity between the aestheticisation of guilt and the act of resolving or hiding it, until guilt itself becomes an appealing, seductive, almost promotional material.

“(…) the choreographic elegance of Panzetti/Ticconi meets the musical energy of Teho Teardo. The composer, musician and sound designer—winner of the David di Donatello for Best Original Score for the soundtrack of Il Divo by Paolo Sorrentino—has long explored stimuli from other artistic forms. He dedicates himself to concert and recording activities, investigating the relationship between electronic music and traditional instruments, as well as creating sound installations and composing for cinema, television series, and theatre.”

Ginevra Panzetti and Enrico Ticconi live between Berlin and Turin and have been working as an artistic duo since 2008. Their research unfolds across dance, performance, and visual art. By exploring themes connected to the historic relationship between communication, violence, and power, they draw on ancient imaginaries to construct hybrid images suspended between history and contemporaneity.

Their work has received numerous international recognitions and has been presented at some of the most prestigious European festivals, as well as in Japan, Brazil, Lebanon, Jordan, and the United Arab Emirates. Since 2020, their choreographic practice as a duo—often involving them as performers of their own creations—has expanded to include the creation of works for other major international companies such as Studio Contemporary Dance Company (HR), T.H.E Dance Company (SG), Dance On Ensemble (DE), and MM Contemporary Dance Company (IT).

One of their most recent choreographic works, INSEL, premiered in 2023 at the Tanz im August Festival in Berlin.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

Spellbound Evening, choreographies by Mauro Astolfi

Fonderia Reggio Emilia
29 April H 18.00

Mauro Astolfi presents three choreographies created for his company at Danza in Fonderia.

On the occasion of International Dance Day, Fonderia hosts three choreographies by Mauro Astolfi for his company Spellbound Contemporary Ballet. On stage are Trust, If you were a man, and Holy Shift—three works that explore relationships, listening, and transformation through the language of dance.

Choreography and direction: Mauro Astolfi
Performers: Maria Cossu, Giuliana Mele
Music: Various artists

Trust is a short story about two women who do not really know how to behave towards one another. It is an attempt at a temporary agreement, based on the idea of mutual trust as a way of getting to know each other a little more quickly. A game woven from different personalities, yet driven by a subtle need to understand what the other is thinking, how she might stay close to you, how you might live beside her.

Trust is an infantile, mature, adolescent yet aware duet—a brief narrative, a suggestion about certain decisions that sometimes must be made quickly and that can change the course of life. The two vibrate together, in unison they hide within one another, they protect each other… and by moving forward they become friends; in the end, they discover that they can trust one another.

Choreography: Mauro Astolfi
Performers: Filippo Arlenghi, Roberto Pontieri, Alessandro Piergentili, Lorenzo Beneventano
Music: Various artists
Costumes: Anna Coluccia

A production by Spellbound

With the support of the Ministry of Culture

Co-production: Attraversamenti Multipli and Armonie d’Arte Festival

If you were a man is a study for four men on a profound reprogramming of listening. If the sounds produced by movement and breath could always be decoded in time, certain things might be avoided, might never happen, and one might learn to listen effectively to a body that does not speak.

The wonder of a silent dialogue carries unexpected results with it… even the smallest noises and the body’s strategies may reveal an imminent conflict in advance.

Rejection, suspicion, distrust, love, or fear are not always communicated in time for intervention, in time to receive precious information about others.

Choreography and direction: Mauro Astolfi
Performers: Maria Cossu, Marco Prete, Martina Staltari, Miriam Raffone, Filippo Arlenghi, Lorenzo Beneventano, Alessandro Piergentili, Anita Bonavida, Giuliana Mele
Lighting design: Marco Policastro
Original music: Davidson Jaconello
Costumes: Anna Coluccia
Choreography assistant: Elena Furlan

A production by Spellbound

With the support of the Ministry of Culture and Regione Lazio

In collaboration with Festival MilanOltre

Holy Shift is a rupture of the paradigm, the end of a linear dream.
A kind of “sacred” disorientation where it becomes better to stop searching for answers in familiar models and instead cultivate a new openness to change.

Sometimes we can find the sacred in ruin, in disintegration, where a new version of the “sacred” may be hidden.

Holy Shift is an inner displacement toward a new orientation—not toward power, but toward presence.
I do not believe the future will be built like a project…
rather, it will reveal itself to those who are able to remain listening to the void,
to inhabit uncertainty without fleeing it,
to recognise in chaos the hidden grammar of another possibility.

Mauro Astolfi

Mauro Astolfi is one of the most representative authors of the contemporary European dance scene. Active internationally as both choreographer and teacher, Astolfi has developed a distinctive and constantly evolving gestural language, the result of a personal reworking of different expressive forms within contemporary movement.

After a long stay in the United States, in 1994 he founded Spellbound Contemporary Ballet, a production project shared with Valentina Marini (Executive Director), today a leading presence on the international contemporary dance market.

In addition to the numerous productions created for Spellbound Contemporary Ballet, Astolfi has also been active in recent years as a freelance choreographer. Among his works are creations for Kitonb Extreme Theatre Company, the Theatre School Amsterdam (2004), Balletto di Roma (2009 and 2012), Szegedi Kortárs Balett in Hungary in 2009, and in the same year the choreography for the musical I Promessi Sposi – Opera moderna, directed by Michele Guardì. He also created works for Leipziger Ballett and River North Chicago Dance Company in 2011.

Also in 2011, he collaborated as choreographer with Israeli author Adi Salant, Associate Director of the Batsheva Dance Company, for the project Danza e/è cultura. Un ponte tra Italia e Israele, promoted and supported by the MIUR, Fondazione Flavio Vespasiano, and the Comune di Rieti.

In 2012 he was invited to create a new work for BalletX and a choreographic project titled Humanology – Site Specific Young Project, produced by the Oriente Occidente Festival. In 2013 he was one of five choreographers invited to create for the project MINUTEMADE at the Staatstheater am Gärtnerplatz in Munich.

In 2015 he created two works in Canada for Arts Umbrella in Vancouver and ProArteDanza in Toronto.

Since October 2009, he has also been Artistic Director of the modern-contemporary department at the Dance Arts Faculty (D.A.F. – International Project for Dance and Performing Arts) in Rome.
