SUMMARY:Duo d'Eden | Grosse Fugue
DESCRIPTION:Maguy Marin’s dance arrives at Fonderia through the interpretation of the MM Contemporary Dance Company.\n  \nDirected by Michela Merola\, the company presents for Danza in Fonderia two masterpieces by the multi-award-winning French choreographer Maguy Marin: Duo d’Eden\, a duet of rare\, almost mythical beauty\, and the all-female quartet Grosse Fugue\, Marin’s personal interpretation of Ludwig van Beethoven’s work\, considered a milestone in the relationship between classical music and contemporary dance. After the performance\, a short talk with a dance critic is scheduled. \n  \nThe MM Contemporary Dance Company won the 2024 Danza&Danza Award for Repertoire Enhancement with Maguy Marin’s Grosse Fugue. \nhttps://vimeo.com/480791125/2e8682f7fb \n\n\n  \n  \nDuo d'Eden \n\nChoreography and Soundtrack: Maguy MarinRestaged by: Cathy Polo and Ennio SammarcoCostumes: Montserrat CasanovaLighting: Alexandre BéneteaudRehearsal Director: Enrico MorelliPerformers: Mario Genovese\, Fabiana Lonardo \nDuration: 18 minutes \nProduction: MM Contemporary Dance CompanyCo-production: Fondazione I Teatri di Reggio Emilia \nWorld Premiere – Compagnie Maguy Marin: December 12\, 1986 – AngersFirst Performance with MM Contemporary Dance Company: October 21\, 2020 – Teatro Sociale di Trento \n\n \n“Two bodies\, as if naked\, advance on stage\, entwining with one another and never letting go. A man and a woman\, their bodies drawn together and clinging\, joined until they become inseparable. She\, a vine that wraps and coils. He\, who holds her\, restrains her\, supports her. There is something mythical in their dance\, in this total fusion of two beings who become one\, never to part again. \n  \nEden is original love\, love of the time of innocence. There is also something raw and primitive in this duet. The soundscape of waterfalls and storms accompanies the dance. \n  \nEden is a dance full of strength and beauty\, perhaps because of the natural force that emanates from the purity of movement and the precision of gesture\, from the almost sculptural forms\, from the power of the bodies. That is where the emotion arises—from this simplicity that reveals the essential. If love is a dance\, it is surely Eden.” \n  \nYasmine Tigoe \n \nIn Duo d’Eden\, two dancers of MMCDC perform with mastery and style a work of rare beauty—original\, complex\, and demanding—created in 1986 by Maguy Marin for her company. Simply a man and a woman: flesh-colored unitards highlighting their nudity\, a long wig for her\, entwined with each other throughout the piece as she continuously evolves across his body. An Adam and Eve immersed in a journey of sensuality\, eros\, defense\, and attack\, within a world that is anything but calm\, safe\, and idyllic. A poetic and intense work. \nGrosse Fugue \nChoreography: Maguy MarinRestaged by: Dorothée DelabieMusic: Ludwig van Beethoven\, Die Grosse Fuge\, Op. 133Costumes: Chantal CloupetLighting: François RenardRehearsal Director: Enrico MorelliPerformers: Fabiana Lonardo\, Giorgia Raffetto\, Alice Ruspaggiari\, Diletta Savini \n  \nDuration: 20 minutes \n  \nProduction: MM Contemporary Dance CompanyCo-production: Reggio Parma Festival\, Festival Bolzano Danza / Fondazione Haydn di Bolzano e Trento\, MilanOltre Festival \n  \nWorld Premiere – Compagnie Maguy Marin: 2001 – Espace Jean Poperen\, MeyzieuNational Preview with MM Contemporary Dance Company: December 16\, 2023 – Reggio Parma Festival – Teatro Ariosto\, Reggio EmiliaNational Premiere with MM Contemporary Dance Company: July 16\, 2024 – Festival Bolzano Danza \n \nFour women and an extraordinary musical work such as Die Grosse Fuge: Maguy Marin’s personal reading of Ludwig van Beethoven’s masterpiece—considered a milestone in the relationship between classical music and contemporary dance—is built on a constant\, intimate dialogue between dance and music\, on a profound connection between the two arts. \n  \nCreated in 2001 for the C.ie Maguy Marin\, it is revived here in the interpretation of four dancers from the MM Contemporary Dance Company. From the encounter between these four women and the music emerges a complexity between the growing vital force of the feminine and the state of exhilaration and despair of this score. \n  \nThe dance becomes an euphoric explosion of energy\, where the four performers\, dressed in red\, in an almost frenetic alternation\, leap\, run\, collapse\, and rise again in a whirlwind of life and frenzy. A metaphor of life that turns into a vortex\, an exhilarating race against death\, where the very vertigo of the end drives us to run breathlessly\, to live every moment as if it were the last. A powerful\, moving work\, a moment of pure emotion. \n  \nMM Contemporary Dance Company \nThe MM Contemporary Dance Company is a contemporary dance ensemble directed by choreographer Michele Merola. Founded in 1999\, it was conceived both as a production center for events and performances and as a promoter of festivals and workshops\, with the aim of fostering exchanges and collaborations between Italian and international artists as witnesses and spokespeople of contemporary culture. \n \nBased in Reggio Emilia\, the company’s repertoire is rich and diverse\, thanks to the works of Michele Merola and creations by leading European and Italian choreographers such as Maguy Marin\, Mats Ek\, Mauro Bigonzetti\, Thomas Noone\, Gustavo Ramírez Sansano\, Karl Alfred Schreiner\, Silvia Gribaudi\, Eugenio Scigliano\, Emanuele Soavi\, Enrico Morelli\, Daniele Ninarello\, Ginevra Panzetti and Enrico Ticconi\, Roberto Tedesco\, Camilla Monga\, and Adriano Bolognino. \n \nIn 2010\, MM Contemporary Dance Company won the prestigious Danza&Danza Award as Best Emerging Company and has since become a recognized excellence of Italian dance\, with an established presence across the national stage. In recent years\, it has also gained international acclaim\, performing in both European and non-European countries (Korea\, Colombia\, Canada\, Germany\, Russia\, Morocco\, Belgium\, Spain\, Slovenia\, Hungary\, Czech Republic\, Sweden\, France\, Finland\, Serbia\, Norway\, Croatia). \n \nIn 2017\, the company won the Europaindanza Award for Choreographic Merit with Michele Merola’s Bolero. In 2022\, MMCDC received the Danza&Danza Award for Best Italian Production with Ballade (choreography by Mauro Bigonzetti and Enrico Morelli). In 2024\, it was awarded the Danza&Danza Prize for Repertoire Enhancement for Maguy Marin’s Grosse Fugue. \n \nIn 2021\, 2022\, and 2024\, MMCDC appeared on RAI 1 in Roberto Bolle’s TV programs Danza con me and Viva la danza\, performing works by Mauro Bigonzetti and Lorca Massine. For the 2018–2020 and 2022–2024 triennia\, as well as in 2021\, the company was an associate ensemble of the InDanza Circuit of Trentino-Alto Adige. \n \nMM Contemporary Dance Company is supported by the Italian Ministry of Culture\, the Emilia-Romagna Region\, the Municipality of Reggio Emilia\, and the Centro Permanente Danza Danza / Reggio Emilia. \nMaguy Marin \nMaguy Marin was born in Toulouse in 1951. After her dance studies\, in 1972 she joined Mudra\, the school and choreographic residence created by Maurice Béjart in Brussels\, where she took part in the formation of the group Chandra\, which gathered the school’s talents under the direction of Micha van Hoecke. From 1974 to 1977 she was a full member of Les Ballets du XXe Siècle\, directed by Béjart\, where she not only performed repertoire works and new creations\, but also choreographed Yu-Ku-Ri (1976). \n \nIn 1984\, she founded the Compagnie Maguy Marin. After residencies at the Centre Chorégraphique National de Créteil\, the Centre Chorégraphique National de Rillieux-la-Pape (Lyon)\, and later in Toulouse\, in 2015 the company settled in Ramdam\, in the Lyon region\, a space dedicated to artistic creation\, to develop an ambitious project: Ramdam\, a center for the arts. \n \nMaguy Marin is one of the leading figures of the “new French dance” and has created many works that have become renowned\, including Babel Babel (1976)\, Cendrillon (1985)\, Coups d’État (1988)\, Made in France (1992)\, Aujourd’hui peut-être (1996)\, Quoi qu’il en soit (1999)\, Pièces détachées (2002)\, Umwelt (2004)\, Turba (2007)\, Salves (2010). Yet it is May B (1981)\, inspired by the literary world of Samuel Beckett\, that remains a true masterpiece\, still performed today in France and worldwide. \n \nIn addition to creating all the works for her own company\, she has also choreographed for major companies such as Dutch National Ballet\, Nederlands Dans Theater 3\, Paris Opera\, and Lyon Opera Ballet. \n \nAlongside numerous honors received in her home country—including being named Chevalier of the Order of Arts and Letters in 1998—she is among the few non-Americans to have been awarded the American Dance Festival Award (2003) and\, in 2008\, the Bessie Award in New York for Umwelt. In 2016\, she received the Golden Lion for Lifetime Achievement at the Venice Biennale Danza. \n \nOverall\, Maguy Marin’s creative production could be gathered under the title “the human condition”: from May B to her most recent works\, she has brought to life characters that reveal the grotesque soul\, intrinsically tied to the essence of humanity. The result is powerful\, ironic\, and at times fierce. \nInfo&Tickets \nTICKETS \n \nFull price: €10Reduced: €6 (under 30\, dance schools\, Liceo Coreutico Matilde di Canossa\, over 65\, CRAL members of the Municipality of Reggio Emilia)Reduced: €3 (under 8) \n \nTICKET PURCHASE \n \nONLINE: https://www.biglietteriafonderia39.it/home.aspxFonderia Box Office: opens one hour before the performance (via della Costituzione 39\, Reggio Emilia). \n \nTickets are unreserved (general admission). \n \nCONTACTS FOR RESERVATIONS \n \nPhone & WhatsApp: +39 334 1023554Email: biglietteria@aterballetto.it

SUMMARY:Il combattimento di Tancredi e Clorinda
DESCRIPTION:Il Combattimento di Tancredi e Clorinda opens the Dance Week of the CCN/Aterballetto.\nFonderia – Thursday\, November 6 at 11:00 a.m. and 7:30 p.m. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe theme of love overwhelmed by war and death — inspired by the story of Tancredi and Clorinda from Torquato Tasso’s Gerusalemme Liberata (whose first draft celebrates its 450th anniversary in 2025) and set to music by Claudio Monteverdi (1624) — retains a striking contemporary relevance. The CCN/Aterballetto reinterprets this legacy through dance\, its privileged language for conveying the intensity and drama of the work\, in a performance conceived by Fabio Cherstich and Philippe Kratz\, featuring dancers Alessia Giacomelli and Kiran Gezels\, tenor Raffaele Giordani\, and harpsichordist Francesco Luigi Trivisano. \nThe performance is preceded and followed by contributions from Antonio Audino\, theatre critic and journalist for RadioRai3\, who\, with his signature clarity\, will cast a contemporary light on these “sacred texts” of Italian cultural heritage. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe 11:00 a.m. performance is dedicated to upper secondary school students. \nAPERITIF AT LA FONDERIA\nFrom 6:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m.\, enjoy a tasting of local wines and products\, in collaboration with the Mercato Campagna Amica del Tricolore. \n \nhttps://youtu.be/mjZQdcn1fgc \nCREDITS \nDirection and visual: Fabio CherstichChoreography and stage movement: Philippe KratzMusic: Il Combattimento di Tancredi e Clorinda by Claudio MonteverdiDancers: Alessia Giacomelli\, Kiran GezelsSinger: Raffaele GiordaniHarpsichord: Francesco Luigi Trivisano \nCo-production: Fondazione Nazionale della Danza / Aterballetto\, Teatro Regio di Parma / Festival Verdi\, Torinodanza Festival – Teatro Stabile di Torino – Teatro Nazionale\, Ghislierimusica – Centro di Musica Antica \n\nBorn in September 2024\, Il Combattimento di Tancredi e Clorinda is a project aimed at enhancing live performing arts within museums and cultural sites\, promoted by the Direzione Generale Musei and co-funded by the Direzione Generale Spettacolo. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFor its realization\, the Musei Nazionali di Perugia – Direzione Regionale Musei Nazionali Umbria — and in particular the Museo Archeologico Nazionale e Teatro Romano di Spoleto — established\, with the support of the Direzione Generale Musei\, a partnership shared with five other major cultural venues: Villa Pisani in Stra\, Castello e Parco di Racconigi\, Castello Svevo in Bari\, Certosa di San Martino in Naples\, and the Parco Archeologico di Venosa. Later\, Castel Sant’Angelo in Rome joined the initiative\, hosting it as part of the 2024 summer festival Sotto l’angelo di Castello. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n  \nThe project is part of Italia Danza\, a co-designed initiative by the Direzione Generale per la Diplomazia Pubblica e Culturale del MAECI and the CCN/Aterballetto\, aimed at promoting Italy’s artistic heritage abroad. \nBODIES AS MIRRORS \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nIn my vision of Il Combattimento di Tancredi e Clorinda\, I imagine a confined\, circular space where proximity and the resemblance of bodies play a fundamental role. Together with choreographer Philippe Kratz\, we explore the idea of bodies as mirrors\, telling the story of a humanity at war with itself. Eros and Thanatos emerge as equally powerful forces\, creating a paradoxical atmosphere within this perfectly balanced struggle between human beings. In our interpretation\, Tancredi and Clorinda are contemporary warriors\, bound to one another inextricably\, compelled to fight and to relive a story already written. \nA single voice gives life to three characters — the text itself\, Tancredi\, and Clorinda — merging within the body and sound of one singer. This estranged voice\, bound to a circular path\, evokes a sense of constant repetition\, underscoring the endless cycle of this story of love and death — a story destined\, tragically\, to repeat itself through the centuries and reach us still\, carrying all its force as an emanation of Tasso’s poetic power and Monteverdi’s sublime music. \nFabio Cherstich\, Director \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nINNER STRUGGLE \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nIn Tasso’s tale\, set to music by Claudio Monteverdi\, the most obvious themes are the struggle between woman and man and religious conversion — yet these are also the aspects I find least compelling. Transposed into dance\, they would risk becoming a mere narrative of circumstances. \nA more philosophical or psychoanalytic reading of this struggle — from which both protagonists emerge defeated\, deceived\, and alone — feels far more engaging to me. Within the opposition of the two roles lies an entire world: the seeking\, confronting\, and wounding of one another. The dynamic is that of a ritual\, a warlike confrontation between two entities drawing closer. The absurdity of the act is revealed when one of them loses their life\, and we realize that the other has not won either… a powerful\, shared wound that remains imprinted on both bodies. So\, are these two people fighting each other — or a single person fighting against themselves? \nPhilippe Kratz\, Choreographer \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nInfo & Biglietti \nTICKETS \n3 euro \nTICKET PURCHASE \n\nONLINE: https://www.biglietteriafonderia39.it/home.aspx\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFONDERIA BOX OFFICE: the box office opens one hour before the start of the performance (via della Costituzione 39\, Reggio Emilia). \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSeats are unassigned. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nCONTACTS FOR RESERVATIONS \nMobile e whatsapp +39 3341023554 \nEmail biglietteria@aterballetto.it \n\n  \n

The CCN/Aterballetto reinterprets this legacy through dance\, its privileged language for conveying the intensity and drama of the work\, in a performance conceived by Fabio Cherstich and Philippe Kratz\, featuring dancers Alessia Giacomelli and Kiran Gezels\, tenor Raffaele Giordani\, and harpsichordist Francesco Luigi Trivisano. \nThe performance is preceded and followed by contributions from Antonio Audino\, theatre critic and journalist for RadioRai3\, who\, with his signature clarity\, will cast a contemporary light on these “sacred texts” of Italian cultural heritage. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe 11:00 a.m. performance is dedicated to upper secondary school students. \nAPERITIF AT LA FONDERIA\nFrom 6:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m.\, enjoy a tasting of local wines and products\, in collaboration with the Mercato Campagna Amica del Tricolore. \n \nhttps://youtu.be/mjZQdcn1fgc \nCREDITS \nDirection and visual: Fabio CherstichChoreography and stage movement: Philippe KratzMusic: Il Combattimento di Tancredi e Clorinda by Claudio MonteverdiDancers: Alessia Giacomelli\, Kiran GezelsSinger: Raffaele GiordaniHarpsichord: Francesco Luigi Trivisano \nCo-production: Fondazione Nazionale della Danza / Aterballetto\, Teatro Regio di Parma / Festival Verdi\, Torinodanza Festival – Teatro Stabile di Torino – Teatro Nazionale\, Ghislierimusica – Centro di Musica Antica \n\nBorn in September 2024\, Il Combattimento di Tancredi e Clorinda is a project aimed at enhancing live performing arts within museums and cultural sites\, promoted by the Direzione Generale Musei and co-funded by the Direzione Generale Spettacolo. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFor its realization\, the Musei Nazionali di Perugia – Direzione Regionale Musei Nazionali Umbria — and in particular the Museo Archeologico Nazionale e Teatro Romano di Spoleto — established\, with the support of the Direzione Generale Musei\, a partnership shared with five other major cultural venues: Villa Pisani in Stra\, Castello e Parco di Racconigi\, Castello Svevo in Bari\, Certosa di San Martino in Naples\, and the Parco Archeologico di Venosa. Later\, Castel Sant’Angelo in Rome joined the initiative\, hosting it as part of the 2024 summer festival Sotto l’angelo di Castello. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n  \nThe project is part of Italia Danza\, a co-designed initiative by the Direzione Generale per la Diplomazia Pubblica e Culturale del MAECI and the CCN/Aterballetto\, aimed at promoting Italy’s artistic heritage abroad. \nBODIES AS MIRRORS \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nIn my vision of Il Combattimento di Tancredi e Clorinda\, I imagine a confined\, circular space where proximity and the resemblance of bodies play a fundamental role. Together with choreographer Philippe Kratz\, we explore the idea of bodies as mirrors\, telling the story of a humanity at war with itself. Eros and Thanatos emerge as equally powerful forces\, creating a paradoxical atmosphere within this perfectly balanced struggle between human beings. In our interpretation\, Tancredi and Clorinda are contemporary warriors\, bound to one another inextricably\, compelled to fight and to relive a story already written. \nA single voice gives life to three characters — the text itself\, Tancredi\, and Clorinda — merging within the body and sound of one singer. This estranged voice\, bound to a circular path\, evokes a sense of constant repetition\, underscoring the endless cycle of this story of love and death — a story destined\, tragically\, to repeat itself through the centuries and reach us still\, carrying all its force as an emanation of Tasso’s poetic power and Monteverdi’s sublime music. \nFabio Cherstich\, Director \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nINNER STRUGGLE \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nIn Tasso’s tale\, set to music by Claudio Monteverdi\, the most obvious themes are the struggle between woman and man and religious conversion — yet these are also the aspects I find least compelling. Transposed into dance\, they would risk becoming a mere narrative of circumstances. \nA more philosophical or psychoanalytic reading of this struggle — from which both protagonists emerge defeated\, deceived\, and alone — feels far more engaging to me. Within the opposition of the two roles lies an entire world: the seeking\, confronting\, and wounding of one another. The dynamic is that of a ritual\, a warlike confrontation between two entities drawing closer. The absurdity of the act is revealed when one of them loses their life\, and we realize that the other has not won either… a powerful\, shared wound that remains imprinted on both bodies. So\, are these two people fighting each other — or a single person fighting against themselves? \nPhilippe Kratz\, Choreographer \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nInfo & Biglietti \nTICKETS \n3 euro \nTICKET PURCHASE \n\nONLINE: https://www.biglietteriafonderia39.it/home.aspx\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFONDERIA BOX OFFICE: the box office opens one hour before the start of the performance (via della Costituzione 39\, Reggio Emilia). \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSeats are unassigned. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nCONTACTS FOR RESERVATIONS \nMobile e whatsapp +39 3341023554 \nEmail biglietteria@aterballetto.it \n\n  \n

SUMMARY:Sogni (di una notte di mezza estate)
DESCRIPTION:The Natiscalzi DT Company debuts at Danza in Fonderia with its contemporary reinterpretation of Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream.\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAmid metamorphic bodies\, desire\, magic\, and fate\, dance becomes a language to explore Shakespeare’s timeless themes\, supported by Giuseppe Cordaro’s soundscape that weaves together electronic textures and fragments of Mendelssohn. A poetic and visionary journey that renews the dialogue with the classics\, revealing the ever-living power of their enchantment. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nCREDITS \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nby Natiscalzi DTchoreography by Tommaso Monza and Claudia Rossi Valliwith Marco Bissoli\, Julia Canard\, Chiara Esposito\, Elena Grappi\, Federico Russo\, Maxime Schiavonoriginal music by Giuseppe Cordaro / Mendelssohntexts by Claudia Rossi Valli / William Shakespeare \nproduced by cinqueminuti APSwith the support of MIC – Italian Ministry of Culture and Regione Emilia-Romagna – Performing Arts Departmentspecial thanks to Vignale in Danza\, Festival Teatro nel Bicchiere\, and Teatro Sociale di Gualtieri \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRead more \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nIn a forest that belongs to no time\, suspended in a limbo between dream and reality\, six dancers move in search of answers\, like pawns in a cosmic game seemingly governed by chance. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \nThe performance is a contemporary reinterpretation of Shakespeare’s classic A Midsummer Night’s Dream\, where body and dance become the means to explore universal themes such as love and desire\, as well as magic and transformation — alongside the play of misunderstandings and the unpredictable hand of fate.\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe six performers are fluid\, multifaceted\, and metamorphic figures who move between the roles of lovers\, woodland creatures\, and dreamlike alter egos\, challenging the conventions of identity and reality. The figure of Puck — guide of the dream world and symbol of chance — emerges through choral compositions that reclaim unpredictability as a space of possibility and transformation\, and the dream as both escape and refuge\, an ephemeral tool of assertion and rebellion. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe visionary power of the dream is supported — as a well-established stylistic hallmark of the company — by the scenographic design and the soundscape specially created by composer Giuseppe Cordaro\, who combines electronic sonorities with fragments of Mendelssohn’s work. This interplay between classical and contemporary elements permeates the entire performance\, echoing the intricate web of Shakespearean relationships. \nOnce again\, Natiscalzi DT takes on the challenge of reinterpreting the classics\, as previously seen in The Nutcracker and Annotations for a Faust. This time\, the company breathes new life into Shakespeare’s timeless poetry\, guided by the deep conviction that the great works must be revisited with fresh eyes\, generation after generation — to connect authors\, performers\, and audiences in a journey of rediscovery of art itself\, reminding us that magic (in theatre and beyond) has not vanished: it is merely hidden\, waiting to be awakened. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n  \nCOMPAGNIA NATISCALZI DT \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nNatiscalzi DT was founded through the collaboration between Tommaso Monza and Claudia Rossi Valli — dancers and choreographers united by a shared language that intertwines poetry\, irony\, and a keen gaze on life. Established in 2016\, the company represents a creative laboratory in constant evolution: blending dance\, theatre\, and performance art\, Natiscalzi DT explores universal themes through a poetic vision that is both profound and\, at times\, dreamlike. \nA prominent presence in the national dance-theatre and contemporary dance scene\, Natiscalzi DT has created works such as Mary’s Bath (Critics’ Award – Palio Poetico ErmoColle 2015\, Special Mention – Premio Sonia Bonacina 2016\, Finalist – Direction Under 30\, 7th edition 2020\, Honorable Mention – Teatro Festival Valtellina 2021); The Nutcracker (Winner – Lavanderia a Vapore Choreographic Residencies Call 2016 | Fondazione Piemonte dal Vivo\, selected by CID Cantieri OrienteOccidente 2017); DIVINO (Winner – Toscana Terra Accogliente 2022); Dreaming Costa Rica (supported in distribution by MIC / SIAE “Per Chi Crea” 2024); and COSA HAI IN TESTA?

SUMMARY:Ti vedo. La leggenda del Basilisco
DESCRIPTION:What if a fairy tale were told by an enormous dress of fabric?\n \nTi vedo. La leggenda del Basilisco \n \nby Teatro del Buratto is an immersive and poetic performance designed for children\, weaving together theatre\, myth\, and magic. Among witches\, spells\, and the dreaded King of Serpents\, children will be carried on an exciting journey where fear and courage meet. A little hero and a fearsome basilisk teach us that sometimes it is enough to look beyond appearances to discover that every creature holds the possibility of change. \n \nRecommended age: from 4 years \n \nCREDITS \nA project by: Emanuela Dall’AglioWith: Emanuela Dall’Aglio\, Riccardo PaltenghiDirection: Emanuela Dall’AglioSoundscapes and Lighting: Mirto BalianiConstructions: Emanuela Dall’Aglio\, Michele Columna\, Riccardo Paltenghi\, Caterina BertaAssistant Director: Beatrice Masala \n \nA co-production by: Teatro del Buratto\, CSS Teatro Stabile di Innovazione del Friuli Venezia Giulia \n \nRecommended age: from 4 yearsDuration: 50 minutes \nDiscover more \n\n“I see you\, all the creatures that men call monsters.\nMonstrous creatures? Monstrous?… Who are they\, really? They are those who cannot be saved\, who are of a form unsuited to this world. But what if\, for once\, they were the heroes—clumsy\, reckless\, involuntary saviors of themselves?”\nN. Haynes \n\n \nA dress-story that tells a myth.A great skirt that contains within itself all the elements of this tale. A mountain of red fabric in which a narrator recounts the story of a witch and her basilisk. \n \nHumankind has always needed to create and to fight monsters that embody evil and the flaws of the world\, and this performance begins with the act of creation—the magical rite that gives birth to a basilisk. \n \nBut now we must face the King of Serpents\, a creature unsuited to life among men\, with supernatural powers\, sowing terror\, and with a single gaze turning living beings into stone. Through the centuries\, countless legends have cast him as a terrible and deadly figure. Drawing on some of these\, our story begins with the arrival of the Basilisk in a peaceful village. His power breeds fear and dismay; the villagers\, not knowing how to banish him and powerless against his magic\, lock themselves in their homes in fear. \n \nBut is this creature truly a monster\, or is it simply unable to change its nature?Perhaps\, unaware of how to handle its power\, it is imprisoned by it.Only through the encounter and clash with a small\, unsuspecting hero—through his reckless courage and his gentleness—will the Basilisk be offered a way out: in this case\, a magical antidote\, a trick to ensure that no one dies—neither the monster nor the village. \n \nThrough knowledge\, courage\, encounter\, and even a touch of magic\, we find a new solution to an old legend. \nTeatro del Buratto \nFounded in 1975 in Milan\, Teatro del Buratto is a theatre production center that combines actor’s theatre\, puppet and animation theatre\, and black theatre\, with a strong focus on visual\, musical\, and scenographic research. Its productions\, aimed at children\, adolescents\, and adults\, range from reimagined classics to new dramaturgies\, often addressing contemporary social issues. \n \nActive both nationally and internationally\, Buratto is recognized by the Italian Ministry of Culture as a Theatre Production Centre and manages the Teatro Bruno Munari and Teatro Verdi in Milan. Beyond production\, it promotes residencies\, training\, workshops\, and festivals such as IF Festival and Segnali\, standing as a key reference point for visual and innovative theatre. \nInfo\, Tickets\, Workshop \nSATURDAY\, OCTOBER 18 – 4:30 pmFAMILY CONTACT \n \nWorkshop led by choreographer Laura Matano \n \nFamily Contact is a moment of sharing between children and parents\, exploring new worlds together.

SUMMARY:Stuporosa
DESCRIPTION:Francesco Marilungo’s Stuporosa is a whirling dance in which tarantism\, “possession\,” and funeral lament hypnotize the audience.\n \nThe Ubu Award for Best Dance Performance 2024 comes to Fonderia. Francesco Marilungo draws inspiration from popular funeral rituals\, tarantism\, and the dance of Saint Vitus to create Stuporosa\, an extraordinary collective work for five performers exploring the universality of grief and its healing. \n\n  \n  \nCredits \nDirection and Choreography: Francesco MarilungoWith: Vera Di Lecce\, Martina Di Prato\, Barbara Novati\, Roberta Racis\, Francesca Linnea Ugolini\, Music and Vocal Coaching: Vera Di LecceSet and Lighting Design: Gianni StaropoliCostumes: Lessico FamiliarePhotography and Video: Luca Del Pia \n  \nProduction: Körper | National Dance Production CentreCo-production: Fabbrica EuropaWith the support of IntercettAzioni – Centro di Residenza Artistica della LombardiaWith the support of Short Theatre Festival\, Fuori Programma Festival\, Teatro Akropolis & Dracma Teatro – Progetto CURA\, Did Studio\, Base Milano\, Qenhun \nDiscover more \nThus\, apparently without reason\, the five performers of Stuporosa weep\, giving life to a cry that takes on many shades: at times restrained\, at times stifled\, at times becoming music\, then flowing into hope\, then transforming into song\, echoing the sounds of an ancient Salentinian funeral lament.\n \nTheir bodies fragment in search of archaic\, distant forms that vanish and dissolve instantly. These forms are figures of pathos\, archetypal images of human suffering handed down over centuries and civilizations—images drawn from ancient funeral rites but universal in meaning\, for since the dawn of humanity\, suffering has always been endured in the same way. The five performers attempt to reclaim a sense of collectivity\, of rituality\, to create new forms of mutual support—whispering ancient magical formulas\, evoking traditional dances\, singing a Salentinian lullaby. \n \nIn Stuporosa\, as in ritual weeping\, one witnesses a stylization of pathos\, a de-hystericization of grief; and the performance itself seeks to be an invitation to reflect on mourning\, on the human need for a shared cultural institution\, a communal rite\, to overcome moments of individual crisis. \n \nFrancesco Marilungo \nAfter studying Engineering and conducting research at the Von Karman Institute in Brussels\, Francesco Marilungo attended the Theatre-Dance Atelier at Paolo Grassi in Milan. Since 2010\, he has collaborated with internationally renowned choreographers such as Julie Anne Stanzak\, Masaki Iwana\, Yasmine Hugonnet\, Jan Fabre\, and Romeo Castellucci. Over the years\, he has performed for Enzo Cosimi\, Antonio Marras\, and Alessandro Sciarroni. He then began his own creative journey\, seeking a personal language between performance\, dance\, and visual arts. \n \nParadise\, winner of the NEXT 2015/2016 call in Lombardy\, was selected by Anticorpi XL for the 2016 Vetrina della Giovane Danza d’Autore. Love Souvenir (2018) won the Inteatro Festival call and the NEXT 2017/2018 call in Lombardy. With Party Girl\, he received the Prospettiva Danza Award 2020 and the Cross Award 2020\, and was selected for the Nid Platform 2021. Stuporosa premiered at Short Theatre Rome in September 2023 and began an international tour. In 2024\, Stuporosa was presented at the Nid Platform in the programming section and won the 2024 UBU Award for Best Dance Performance. \n \nHis new project\, Cani Lunari\, winner of the Premio CollaborAction – Anticorpi XL Network\, will premiere in September 2025. \nInfo&Tickets \nTICKETS \n \nFull price: €10Reduced: €6 (under 30\, dance schools\, Liceo Coreutico Matilde di Canossa\, over 65\, CRAL members of the Municipality of Reggio Emilia)Reduced: €3 (under 8) \n \nTICKET PURCHASE \n \nONLINE: https://www.biglietteriafonderia39.it/home.aspxFonderia Box Office: opens one hour before the performance (via della Costituzione 39\, Reggio Emilia). \n \nTickets are unreserved (general admission). \n \nCONTACTS FOR RESERVATIONS \n \nPhone & WhatsApp: +39 334 1023554Email: biglietteria@aterballetto.it

SUMMARY:Viaggio nel repertorio del balletto (Journey into Ballet Repertoire). Teatro San Carlo di Napoli
DESCRIPTION:Viaggio nel repertorio del balletto (Journey into Ballet Repertoire)\, curated and presented by dance journalist and critic Francesca Pedroni\, featuring the étoiles of Teatro San Carlo\, Naples.\n \nGiselle: Romanticism\, Pointe Shoes\, and the Ballet Blanc \nCurated by Francesca Pedroni \nWith Étoiles Anna Chiara Amirante and Alessandro Staiano\, Ballet Company of Teatro San Carlo\, Naples \nAn iconic title of Romanticism\, Giselle premiered in Paris in 1841 with choreography by Jean Coralli and Jules Perrot and music by Charles Adam. It remains an essential work in the repertoire of every major classical ballet company. A love story unfolding between the radiant\, pastoral realism of the first act and the nocturnal forest realm of the Wilis — spirits of young women who died of heartbreak after being abandoned before their weddings. Diaphanous in their white tutus and pointe shoes\, they rise from midnight to dawn\, forcing any man who enters their haunted circle to dance to his death. \nThe Ballet Company of Teatro San Carlo\, directed by Clotilde Vayer\, will stage Giselle in Naples this November in Patricia Ruanne’s choreographic version. Around this title\, the Journey into Ballet Repertoire series curated by Francesca Pedroni for the National Choreographic Centre / Aterballetto resumes. This performance-conversation blends readings\, stories\, and video excerpts\, featuring the invaluable participation of Étoiles Anna Chiara Amirante and Alessandro Staiano of the Teatro San Carlo Ballet\, who will perform live some of the ballet’s most emblematic scenes in dialogue with the curator. \n \n  \nANNA CHIARA AMIRANTE \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBorn in Naples\, she trained at the Ballet School of the Teatro San Carlo.In 2006\, she joined the ballet company of the Teatro San Carlo in Naples under the direction of Elisabetta Terabust.

SUMMARY:VISIONI DEL CORPO: LE DONNE DELLA FOTOGRAFIA CONTEMPORANEA (WOMEN IN CONTEMPORARY PHOTOGRAPHY)
DESCRIPTION:Women’s photography is the focus of the new Visioni del corpo event — discovering contemporary art through signature dance.\nThanks to the curatorial collaboration of Nicolas Ballario (listed among the 100 most influential figures in the art world by Il Giornale dell’Arte)\, the “dancing encyclopedia” continues to take shape — a project that tells the story of the world through dance\, placing the body at the center of the human experience. \nFor the festival Anthologies. New Readings of the Body\, Nicolas Ballario has chosen to present the photographic works of Tina Modotti\, Diane Arbus\, Cindy Sherman\, Nan Goldin\, and Lisetta Carmi\, accompanied by original choreographies created for the occasion by Sofia Nappi\, one of the most acclaimed Italian choreographers on the contemporary scene. \n\nAPERITIF AT THE FONDERIA\nFrom 7:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m.\, enjoy a tasting of local wines and products\, in collaboration with Coldiretti Reggio Emilia. \n\n \n\nSofia Nappi \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSofia Nappi is a choreographer and the artistic director of KOMOCO\, a contemporary dance company based in Italy and active internationally\, which she co-founded together with her first muses\, Adriano Popolo Rubbio and Paolo Piancastelli. From the outset\, Sofia’s early creations with KOMOCO earned major recognition\, including the Partner Introdans Award (Rotterdam International Duet Choreography Competition 2021) and the First Prize\, Critics’ Award\, and Production Award at the 35th International Choreography Competition Hannover\, presented by the Tanja Liedtke Foundation and Marco Goecke (2021). \nToday\, KOMOCO’s works choreographed by Sofia are performed throughout Italy and internationally across Europe\, as well as in Mexico\, Canada\, and Serbia\, featured in renowned institutions and festivals. As an independent choreographer\, Sofia also creates original works for internationally acclaimed dance companies and theatres such as Nederlands Dans Theater 2\, Leipzig Ballet\, Gauthier Dance // Dance Company Theaterhaus Stuttgart\, Ballet BC\, Göteborg Opera\, National Theatre Mannheim\, Staatsoper Hannover\, and Scottish Dance Theatre. \nAlongside her creative work\, Sofia Nappi is deeply engaged in research and professional training on an international level\, in close collaboration with the dancers of KOMOCO. Since 2022\, she has organized the Komoco Intensive workshop twice a year in Florence\, welcoming professional dancers from around the world. A graduate of the Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater in New York\, Sofia’s artistic development has been profoundly shaped by her close connection with the Hofesh Shechter Dance Company and her study of Gaga\, the movement language developed by the renowned choreographer Ohad Naharin. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n  \nNicolas Ballario \nBorn in 1984\, Nicolas Ballario works at the intersection of contemporary art and media. After completing his studies at the Academy of Photography\, he joined Oliviero Toscani’s creative factory La Sterpaia\, where he later became Cultural Director. Over the years\, he has collaborated with major artistic institutions and numerous publications\, and in 2016 he became the youngest recipient ever of the Premio Bassani\, one of Italy’s most prestigious awards for journalists distinguished in the fields of culture and the environment. \nHe is currently the author and host of contemporary art programs on Radio Uno Rai and a contributor to L’Espresso (where he writes a weekly column)\, Living / Corriere della Sera\, Il Post\, and Il Giornale dell’Arte. In 2019\, he hosted Camera Oscura\, a photography series on LA7\, and since 2020 he has been presenting Io ti vedo\, tu mi senti?\, Italia Contemporanea\, and The Square on Sky Arte. \nNicolas is also the director of the new exhibition production company Piuma\, and founder and president of Cucù\, a communication studio dedicated to culture. He curates exhibitions and catalogues\, and has been featured twice in Artribune’s “Best of” list of leading art professionals — in 2019 for radio and in 2020 for television projects. \n \nInfo & Tickets \nTICKETS\nSingle price: 3 euro \nTICKET PURCHASE\nITickets can be purchased online at www.biglietteriafonderia39.it.\nThe Fonderia box office is open from 7:30 p.m. onwards.\nSeats are unassigned. \nCONTACTS\nMobile e whatsapp 3341023554\nEmail biglietteria@aterballetto.it \nFONDERIA ATERBALLETTO\nvia della Costituzione 39\, Reggio Emilia \n \n

SUMMARY:Cani lunari - open session
DESCRIPTION:Francesco Marilungo’s Cani lunari is the opening event of the autumn edition of Danza in Fonderia.\n  \nFrancesco Marilungo inaugurates Antologie. New Readings of the Body\, the Danza in Fonderia series\, with the open rehearsal of his latest work. Cani lunari reveals the first fragments of his new creation. Inspired by a rare lunar optical phenomenon and steeped in ancestral symbols\, the piece delves into the imagery of the witch\, the healer\, the sorceress: figures on the margins of society\, suspended between fear and desire\, science and magic\, exclusion and power. \nhttps://vimeo.com/1048362306 \nCredits \nChoreography and Direction: Francesco MarilungoWith: Vera Di Lecce\, Barbara Novati\, Roberta Racis\, Alice Raffaelli\, Francesca Linnea UgoliniCostumes: Lessico FamiliareMusic and Vocal Coaching: Vera Di LecceLighting Design: Gianni StaropoliPhotography and Video: Luca Del Pia \n \nProduction: Körper | National Dance Production CentreCo-production: SNAPORAZVEREIN\, IRA Institute \n \nWith the support of ResiDance – an initiative of the Anticorpi XL Network\,Tuscany Residency Centre (Fondazione Armunia Castiglioncello – CapoTrave/Kilowatt Sansepolcro)\,AMAT – Associazione Marchigiana per le Attività Teatrali\,Consorzio PUGLIA CULTURE – Regional Consortium for Arts and Culture\,in collaboration with Associazione Menhir / festival LE DANZATRICI en plein air in Ruvo di Puglia and Ass. Cult. TEATRO MENZATI’ / TEX – Il Teatro dell’ExFadda in San Vito dei Normanni (Puglia). \n \nWith the support of Cross Festival\, Primavera dei Teatri CastrovillariWith the contribution of Marosi Festival\, Teatro delle Moire \nDiscover more \nDuring the winter months\, when the moon is full or nearly full\, its light can sometimes be refracted by ice crystals in the high clouds\, creating a circular halo around the satellite with two symmetrical gleams at its sides: the moon dogs. Atmospheric phenomena that folk tradition once read as omens of storms\, but also as signals of transition—visual thresholds into the invisible. \nCANI LUNARI is a choreographic project that crosses these thresholds and immerses itself in an imaginary rooted in the archaic feminine\, in magical knowledge\, in ecstatic bodies. A sensitive inquiry into the figure of the witch\, the healer: not as folkloric residue or demonized stereotype\, but as the emblem of marginal yet powerful knowledge\, resisting the logic of utility and visibility.\n \nThrough a process of research combining archival materials\, oral testimonies\, folkloric iconographies\, and bodily practices\, CANI LUNARI builds a performative rite in which the body dances trance\, ecstasy\, metamorphosis. The performers\, holding taxidermy crows—souls released\, spirit animals\, threshold guides—enact gestures suspended between ritual and fiction\, magic and theatrical play. Movement feeds on fragmentations\, limps\, archaic gestures\, and sudden slips into animality\, evoking a world where the boundary between human and beyond-human is porous and mutable. The body moves “above water and above wind\,” echoing ancient formulas that still resonate in some Italian territories at the margins. \n \nAt the heart of the project lies a reflection on the hysterical body\, a feminine site of crisis and enigma\, historically linked to the figure of the witch and to states of possession. The 19th-century photographs of the Salpêtrière become symbolic material to embody: bodies out of control\, traversed by the invisible\, performing a different kind of knowledge. The witch’s body becomes a threshold-organism between dimensions—as John Cotta once wrote\, “not a traveler between worlds\, but the site of encounter between different spheres of being.” \n \nCANI LUNARI recalls a knowledge that is both political and sensorial\, an embodied epistemology. The soul—bird or breath—leaves the mouth\, flies\, detaches\, and then returns to the body. As in the confessions extorted from persecuted women—often visionaries\, storytellers\, healers—the body becomes narrative\, ritual of healing\, exercise in survival. The soundscape\, created by Vera Di Lecce\, interweaves electronics and natural sound\, oral chants and magical formulas\, in a score suspended between the earthly and the divine. \nCANI LUNARI is a crossing\, a white sabbath\, a collective ritual to re-enchant the world.\n \nFrancesco Marilungo \nAfter studying Engineering and conducting research at the Von Karman Institute in Brussels\, Francesco Marilungo attended the Theatre-Dance Atelier at Paolo Grassi in Milan. Since 2010\, he has worked with internationally renowned choreographers such as Julie Anne Stanzak\, Masaki Iwana\, Yasmine Hugonnet\, Jan Fabre\, and Romeo Castellucci. Over the years\, he has performed for Enzo Cosimi\, Antonio Marras\, and Alessandro Sciarroni. He then began his own artistic path\, seeking a personal language at the intersection of performance\, dance\, and visual arts. \n \nParadise\, winner of the NEXT 2015/2016 call in Lombardy\, was selected by Anticorpi XL for the 2016 Vetrina della Giovane Danza d’Autore. Love Souvenir (2018) won the Inteatro Festival call and the Lombardy NEXT 2017/2018 call. With Party Girl\, he received the Prospettiva Danza Award 2020 and the Cross Award 2020\, and was selected for the Nid Platform 2021. Stuporosa premiered at Short Theatre Rome in September 2023 and began an international tour. In 2024\, Stuporosa was presented at the Nid Platform in the programming section and won the 2024 UBU Award for Best Dance Performance. \n \nHis new project\, Cani Lunari\, winner of the Premio CollaborAction – Anticorpi XL Network\, will premiere in September 2025. \nInfo&Tickets \nTICKETS\nFull price: €3Free admission: under 6 \n \nTICKET PURCHASE \n \nONLINE: https://www.biglietteriafonderia39.it/home.aspxFonderia Box Office: opens one hour before the performance (via della Costituzione 39\, Reggio Emilia). \n \nTickets are unreserved (general admission). \n \nCONTACTS FOR RESERVATIONS \n \nPhone & WhatsApp: +39 334 1023554Email: biglietteria@aterballetto.it

Founded in 2010\, it is directed by Michele Merola and Enrico Morelli\, and is promoted and supported by MM Contemporary Dance Company and the Centro Permanente Danza of Reggio Emilia.  \nThe program aims to train artists who are prepared to face the diversity of the international dance market with flexibility — dancers capable of responding to its various technical and stylistic demands. The project offers a wide range of stimuli\, including technical training\, cultural enrichment\, and opportunities for exchange between students and choreographers\, each of whom brings a unique and valuable perspective from the international dance scene. \nAgora allows young dancers to meet established choreographers from diverse stylistic backgrounds.

Also plural\, “gli addii” — the final farewells\, the separation.] — Treccani \nPasso d’Addio is a sensorial and emotional journey through the many nuances of final moments. The performance explores the concept of “farewell” and “last time” as physical\, sonic\, and poetic acts\, transforming images\, thoughts\, and memories into movement. By sharing the creative process with the performers\, the stage becomes a sensory lab — a collective\, corporeal narrative. \nHow do we know this will truly be the last time? How does our best farewell move?  Sometimes\, it makes space like revenge; other times\, it tickles a laugh or gently brushes the cheek\, consoles us like a prayer\, cradles us like a lullaby.  Sometimes\, the farewell is whispered; other times\, it crashes — tumbling down the stairs.  What does a farewell taste like? The taste of melancholy? \nMy farewell tastes like salted caramel on the last ice cream cone of that summer.\nWhat does our farewell sound like?\nIt strikes the bass drum of our lungs and then reverberates to the edges of us.\nIt stumbles on our teeth\, bounces off the palate\, falling in and out of us\, not knowing where its echo will land.\nIt skips across our goosebumps\, turning into dismay — and a nocturnal forest. \n  \nLAST MOVEMENT OF HOPE - III CHAPTER: ANNUNCIAZIONE \nchoreography: Adriano Bolognino \nassistant: Rosaria Di Maro \nmusic: Luke Howard\, Giuseppe Villarosa\, M83 \nperformers: Agora Coaching Project \nduration: 20 min. \n“Facing dust storms\, I will fight until the end.\nCreatures of my dreams: rise and dance with me.\nNow and forever\, I am your King.” \nThe need to be reborn arrives loudly — and perhaps you hear it shout even louder when faced with the fear of loss. Then\, perhaps\, filling up before it empties\, building before it collapses\, seems like the right path.  The need for rebirth comes when you start to envision a void you cannot leap over. So you decide to plant seeds around it\, to water a garden you can lie on — a garden that can hold you when pain brings you to your knees.  A garden not of flowers\, but of breath\, waiting\, and names not yet spoken.  An energy that moves\, tears\, pushes.  It descends\, flows through bodies\, uniting them.  It opens a space\, a passage.  A pulsating collective body that crosses the threshold. \nThis work is part of a collection of micro-dances titled Last Movement of Hope\, conceived as a larger project — a collection\, a book in which each chapter represents a moment of creative exploration\, an emotion\, an encounter\, or a reflection.  It was born from the desire to explore and narrate the human experience through dance\, in all its complexity: our relationships with ourselves and others\, our fears\, struggles\, and\, above all\, the hope that drives us forward. \nINFO AND TICKETS \nTICKET PURCHASE \nTickets can be purchased online at  www.biglietteriafonderia39.it \nThe box office opens one hour before the performance begins. \nSeats are unassigned. \nCONTACTS \nMobile & WhatsApp: +39 334 1023554 \nEmail: biglietteria@aterballetto.it

A pulsating collective body that crosses the threshold. \nThis work is part of a collection of micro-dances titled Last Movement of Hope\, conceived as a larger project — a collection\, a book in which each chapter represents a moment of creative exploration\, an emotion\, an encounter\, or a reflection.  It was born from the desire to explore and narrate the human experience through dance\, in all its complexity: our relationships with ourselves and others\, our fears\, struggles\, and\, above all\, the hope that drives us forward. \nINFO AND TICKETS \nTICKET PURCHASE \nTickets can be purchased online at  www.biglietteriafonderia39.it \nThe box office opens one hour before the performance begins. \nSeats are unassigned. \nCONTACTS \nMobile & WhatsApp: +39 334 1023554 \nEmail: biglietteria@aterballetto.it

SUMMARY:Viaggio nel repertorio del balletto. Accademia Danza alla Scala
DESCRIPTION:Accademia Teatro alla Scala. Cenerentola. ©Rosa Arcelloni. \nFirst event of the project Viaggio nel repertorio del balletto\, curated and led by dance journalist and critic Francesca Pedroni\, in collaboration with the Accademia Teatro alla Scala.\nThe project Viaggio nel repertorio del balletto (A Journey Through the Ballet Repertoire)\, promoted by Centro Coreografico Nazionale Aterballetto and curated by dance journalist and critic Francesca Pedroni\, embarks on a series of performance-talks. Hosted at the Fonderia in Reggio Emilia\, the events feature guest artists—dancers and maîtres from Italy’s leading ballet companies—and aim to offer a behind-the-scenes look at the preparation of exemplary works from the great ballet seasons. A prologue to the project is today’s event with the Accademia Teatro alla Scala\, which—together with Ballet School teacher Walter Madau and several upper-year students—explores the value of repertoire as a fundamental training ground. \nEach event explores ballet repertoire and the technique of classical-academic dance\, highlighting its connections with costume design\, set design\, and music—from the first rehearsals to the actual performance. \nThe first event features the Accademia Teatro alla Scala\, presenting: \nVARIAZIONE DI CENERENTOLAFrom CENERENTOLA by Frédéric OlivieriMusic by Sergei ProkofievStudent: Maria Vittoria Bandini \nNEW SLEEP (DUET) by William ForsytheMusic by Thom WillemsStudents: Sienna Bingham e Michele Forghieri \nPASSO A DUE DI MATTO E GELSOMINAFrom LA STRADA by Mario PistoniMusic by Nino RotaStudents: Francesco Della Valle\, Laura Farina \nVARIAZIONE DI GELSOMINAFrom LA STRADA by Mario PistoniMusic by Nino RotaStudent: Laura Farina \nAccademia Teatro alla Scala. Grand Tour AFAM. Lucca\, gennaio 2025. ©Munari. \nCENERENTOLA \nFrom CENERENTOLA by Frédéric Olivieri\, set to music by Sergei Prokof’ev\nVariation – Maria Vittoria Bandini \nA great fairytale of ballet and the collective imagination\, Cenerentola has always told the story of a dream becoming reality—thanks to the triumph of good over evil and the victory of values like kindness and generosity over envy\, hypocrisy\, and deceit. A beautiful lesson for the students of the Accademia Teatro alla Scala’s Ballet School\, encouraging not only technical and interpretive growth on a professional level\, but also a meaningful\, human reflection on values central to their development as young artists. \nSergei Prokofiev\, composer of the ballet’s lyrical score—which premiered at the Bolshoi Theatre in 1945—wrote: \n“What I wanted to express above all in my music was the poetic love between Cinderella and the Prince: the birth and blossoming of this love\, the obstacles in its path\, and the fulfillment of the dream.”He also added:“I was eager to create a ballet that was as ‘danceable’ as possible\, with a variety of dances woven into the story and offering the dancers plenty of opportunity to showcase their art.” \nCommissioned by the Bracco Foundation\, Frédéric Olivieri\, Director of the Ballet School\, created a new version of Cenerentola that fully responds to Prokofiev’s intentions—an ambitious two-act production tailored to the talent and training of the School’s young dancers. A dreamlike staging of which the School is justifiably proud\, the production features hand-painted sets by Angelo Sala\, specially designed costumes by Chiara Donato\, and the collaboration of current and former students from the Academy’s costume-making program\, together with the renowned Sartoria Brancato. \nThis collective work brings more than one hundred students to the stage in choreography rich with both virtuosic and expressive roles. Around the central characters of Cinderella and the Prince\, the contrast between good and evil is drawn—without relying on the traditional aesthetic opposition between beauty and ugliness. The Stepmother and Stepsisters are not performed en travesti nor grotesquely made-up; it is left entirely to the dance to reveal the true nature of each character. \nFrancesca Pedroni \nNEW SLEEP (DUET) \nNEW SLEEP (DUET)\n \nChoreography by William ForsytheMusic by Thom WillemsPerformed by: Sienna Bingham e Michele Forghieri \nNew Sleep (Duet) by William Forsythe: the joyful mechanics of partnering \nNew Sleep (Duet) is a brilliant example of William Forsythe’s post-classical dynamism. A master of the ever-evolving language of ballet\, Forsythe has transformed classical academic vocabulary into something incandescent and radically contemporary. His is a dizzying creativity in which dancers’ virtuosity is both celebrated and expanded to its fullest potential. When we met Forsythe last year in Milan for the premiere of Blake Works V at Teatro alla Scala\, he offered an insight that also perfectly applies to approaching the duet New Sleep: \n“People often confuse the academy—which is the set of rules\, the grammar—with choreography\, which is the exception. The academy clearly prescribes the steps\, how they are learned one after the other\, in relation to tradition and history. We\, as choreographers\, must find a way to show what the academy gives to dancers\, helping them understand what can be done with it\, and where the difference lies between the rules of the School and the exceptions of choreography.”— William Forsythe\, in Francesca Pedroni\, William Forsythe – Il balletto: una gioia tra regole e formidabili eccezioni\, Danza&Danza\, n. 310\, May–June 2023. \nA beautiful challenge for such young dancers. \nThe duet is built around Thom Willems’ striking score—a long-time collaborator of Forsythe—filled with harsh\, urban sounds that evoke a dance darting through the whir of metal machinery. The duet is a game of trust between the partners—she en pointe—a push\, a hold\, a release\, full of off-balance movement. \nThe work has been restaged for the students by Forsythe dancer Noah Gelber and Kathryn Bennetts\, with the support of the school’s resident teachers. Bennetts\, a close collaborator of Forsythe since the late 1980s during his tenure at the Frankfurt Ballet\, has long been responsible for reviving his repertoire internationally.New Sleep (Duet) is the third Forsythe work to enter the repertoire of the Accademia’s Ballet School\, following The Vertiginous Thrill of Exactitude—unforgettable with its sharp\, acid-yellow tutus—and\, in 2019\, In the Middle\, Somewhat Elevated\, also revived by Bennetts. \n“New Sleep was originally created in 1987 for the San Francisco Ballet\,” explains Bennetts. “It’s a piece I adore\, which I’ve revived over the years in Zurich\, Antwerp\, Monte Carlo. It’s a wild\, surreal\, strange\, and fun work. As often happens with Bill (short for William)\, there are many elaborations and later variations. The version of the duet restaged for the School was created for a gala in 2011\, specifically choreographed on Katherina Markowskaja of the Bayerisches Staatsballett in Munich\, partnered with Noah Gelber. It’s based on a duet from the original but features many modifications. It has its own distinct atmosphere—it’s fresh\, current\, and perfectly suited for the School. It develops a beautiful partnering technique\, almost like in rock & roll. And when young dancers are intelligent and talented\, they’re willing to take the risk and ride the speed—there’s a constant challenge in the space.” \n“Returning to the Accademia’s Ballet School is always a joy for me\,” Bennetts adds. “When I came for In the Middle\, I worked with Linda Giubelli\, Giorgia Pasini\, Daniele Bonelli—and now I see them in major companies: at La Scala\, the San Carlo in Naples\, in Düsseldorf. Frédéric Olivieri has shaped the School as a true preparation for professional life\, giving students the habit of approaching choreography from a very young age. It’s rare—and it pays off.” \nFrancesca Pedroni \nLA STRADA \nFrom LA STRADA (SUITE) by Mario Pistoni\, set to music by Nino RotaVariazione di Gelsomina – Laura Farina\nPasso a due del Matto e Gelsomina – Francesco Della Valle\, Laura Farina \n“La strada” by Mario Pistoni. Between Fellini and dance\, Gelsomina lives again in a suite of excerpts \nIn 1966\, La strada by Mario Pistoni premiered at Teatro alla Scala. A masterpiece imbued with a poignant sense of nostalgia and fleeting\, fragile moments in which happiness seems possible—yet proves to be an illusion. The music is by Nino Rota. The story is inspired by Federico Fellini’s film of the same name\, with an unforgettable Giulietta Masina in the role of Gelsomina. She travels the world with Zampanò\, portrayed in the film by a brutish Anthony Quinn—a rough street performer who earns his living breaking chains with the strength of his chest. The Fool\, a pure and childlike soul\, plays the violin and shares Gelsomina’s sensitivity. On stage in 1966\, the Fool was Mario Pistoni himself\, and Gelsomina was danced by Carla Fracci. In later years\, the role would be interpreted by Oriella Dorella\, Alessandra Ferri\, and Gilda Gelati. A principal dancer at Teatro alla Scala since 1951\, Pistoni danced Romeo alongside Carla Fracci’s debut as Juliet in John Cranko’s historic 1958 production. Two years later\, he made his debut as a choreographer. \nLa strada is a narrative ballet\, cinematic not only in its inspiration but also in its three-dimensional staging\, with simultaneous planes of action. It tells a story of everyday poverty and shattered hopes\, set in a world dear to Fellini’s imagination—the circus—and blends classical technique with modern styles ranging from tango to jazz. A richly populated ballet\, it offers young students the opportunity to explore emotion and storytelling through dance. \nFor the Ballet School\, it was decided to restage a suite of selected scenes from La strada. This task was entrusted to Guido Pistoni\, Mario’s nephew\, a dancer trained at the Teatro dell’Opera di Roma who has previously performed in the ballet and now oversees his uncle’s repertoire.Guido Pistoni explains: “For the Ballet School\, we chose to omit the more dramatic scenes from the original ballet\, such as the Fool’s death. In agreement with Maestro Olivieri\, I focused on the more danced sections and the circus characters\, ending the ballet with the dreamlike scene of the three Pierrots alongside Gelsomina.” \nThe suite begins with a group scene involving numerous student couples\, including some of the youngest pupils\, and of course\, Zampanò (guest artist and former Scala principal dancer Mick Zeni) and Gelsomina. It opens with a festive tango. Gelsomina enters with her small drum slung around her neck\, tousled short hair\, and that smiling\, heart-tugging expression. The suite continues with Zampanò’s act\, the shooting gallery\, the wedding\, and a jazz dance. Zampanò’s affair with a street woman saddens Gelsomina. Her variation is one of the most moving moments in the ballet. Gelsomina then encounters many characters: musicians\, the Fool—with whom she dances a poignant pas de deux that reveals the personalities of both characters—soldiers\, sandwich girls\, ballerinas\, and the Pierrots. \n“Fellini and Giulietta Masina were very fond of the ballet\,” recalls Guido Pistoni. “Whenever she could\, she came to see La strada. I remember one time in Rome when my uncle called her on stage at the end of the performance and asked the orchestra’s first trumpet to play Gelsomina’s theme for her. Such pathos! The students worked very well\, fully focused on both the technical and interpretive aspects. During the rehearsal weeks\, with the help of their teachers\, I saw them grow artistically. I’m glad this Italian work has been brought back to life.” \nFrancesca Pedroni \nACCADEMIA TEATRO ALLA SCALA \nFONDAZIONE ACCADEMIA TEATRO ALLA SCALA \nEstablished as a Foundation in 2001\, the Accademia Teatro alla Scala boasts over two centuries of history\, thanks to the Teatro alla Scala’s long-standing commitment to education and training—dating back to 1813\, the year the Ballet School was founded. Still today\, it is considered one of the most prestigious institutions for the teaching of dance. \nWith a faculty composed of artists and professionals from Teatro alla Scala\, alongside leading experts from the performing arts sector\, the Academy now covers virtually all professions in the live performance industry. It offers a broad catalogue of courses organized into four departments: Music\, Dance\, Stagecraft\, and Management. This includes training programs\, advanced specialization courses\, first- and second-level academic diplomas equivalent to university degrees\, as well as first-level master’s programs\, workshops\, and summer intensives. \n  \nDANCE DEPARTMENT \nThe Dance Department\, directed since 2003 by Frédéric Olivieri—who has also recently returned to lead the Teatro alla Scala Ballet Company—offers courses for all age groups and educational needs in the field of dance. In addition to the Ballet School\, the Department includes a five-year introductory dance program designed for children aged 6 to 10\, which introduces them to dance through playful and expressive activities; an advanced training course in classical and contemporary dance for dancers wishing to refine their skills across different styles and choreographic methods; and first- and second-level academic programs aimed at training highly qualified classical dance teachers. \nAt the heart of the Department lies the Ballet School. Founded in 1813 by Francesco Benedetto Ricci\, it has been led over the years by renowned ballerinas and distinguished masters\, and has trained dancers of the highest calibre. Just a few names: Carla Fracci\, Liliana Cosi\, Luciana Savignano\, Oriella Dorella\, Roberto Bolle\, Nicoletta Manni. Structured as an eight-year program\, the School awards a diploma with a dual specialization in classical-academic dance and modern-contemporary dance—responding to the needs of international companies that now demand dancers proficient in an increasingly broad and diverse repertoire. \nDuring their training\, students take part in various productions of the Teatro alla Scala season and perform on important stages in Italy and abroad. A key element in their artistic development is the opportunity to interpret iconic choreographies by past and present masters such as Marius Petipa\, August Bournonville\, George Balanchine\, Maurice Béjart\, Anton Dolin\, Mario Pistoni\, Mauro Bigonzetti\, Mats Ek\, William Forsythe\, Jiří Kylián\, José Limón\, Roland Petit\, Angelin Preljocaj\, and Demis Volpi.Additionally\, works have been created specifically for the Ballet School by choreographers such as Davide Bombana\, Shantala Shivalingappa\, Matteo Levaggi\, Emanuela Tagliavia\, and Valentino Zucchetti.Also worth noting are the new choreographic versions of major repertoire titles signed by Frédéric Olivieri\, including Lo schiaccianoci\, Cenerentola (commissioned by the Bracco Foundation)\, and La fille mal gardée. \nFRANCESCA PEDRONI \nDance critic for the newspaper Il manifesto and the magazine Danza&Danza.

SUMMARY:FELLINIANA – Omaggio a Fellini
DESCRIPTION:FELLINIANA – Tribute to Fellini is a performance that evokes the universe of the great Maestro and his most famous films through the choreography of Monica Casadei.\nThe bodies of the Artemis Danza Company move between dance and contemporary circus\, dream and reality\, accompanied by the unforgettable music composed by Nino Rota for Federico Fellini. Euphoric and sparkling choreography\, virtuosity\, and an irresistible humanity animate this performance\, making it a poetic and sensitive manifesto that celebrates the history of Italian cinema and music.   \nWatch the video on YouTube \nCREDITS \nChoreography\, direction\, sets\, and lighting Monica Casadei\nMusic Nino Rota\nCostumes Daniela Usai   \nProduction Compagnia Artemis Danza\nIn collaboration with Teatro Municipale di Piacenza\, Teatro Comunale di Bologna\, Istituti Italiani di Cultura in Chicago\, Hong Kong\, Jakarta\, Prague\, Tunis\, Zurich\nProject selected for Parma 2020+21 Italian Capital of Culture\nWith the contribution of Ministry of Culture\, Emilia Romagna Region – Department of Culture \nREAD MORE \nFelliniana revolves around the marvelous celebration of 8 ½ and lives through the joys and hopes of the clowns\, the confessions of Gradisca\, the voices and dialogues taken from the films\, the scent of La Dolce Vita\, the thousand colors of the circus\, and the poetic power of Nino Rota. \nA Fellinian breath enveloped the conception of the creation\, which begins with a rarefied\, intimate\, philosophical start\, moves into the surreal realism of the Romagna of Amarcord\, and then warmly slides into the magical\, crazy\, and extreme world of the circus. A dancing people\, a great theater of human illusion\, poetic and ironic. \nAn idea of a world where diversity is wealth\, where poetry is nourishment\, and where all human beings\, with their fragilities and divergences\, can feel free and welcomed\, for each one of them has a place on the merry-go-round of life designed by the great Maestro. \nMonica Casadei \nMONICA CASADEI \nOf Ferrara origin and with a degree in Philosophy with honors\, with a thesis on Plato and dance\, Monica Casadei\, after an athletic career in rhythmic gymnastics\, devoted herself to the study of classical and modern dance\, first in Italy\, then in London\, and finally in Paris\, where she met choreographers Pierre Doussaint and Isabelle Doubouloz\, and master André Cognard Hanshi So shihan\, with whom she still practices the martial art of Aikido. In 1994\, she founded the company Artemis Danza in France\, and in 1997\, she moved to Italy\, where she began an intense production activity that now counts over fifty original creations. From 1998 to 2007\, the company was in residence at the Fondazione Teatro Due in Parma\, while from 2014 to 2018\, it was in artistic residence at the Teatro Comunale in Bologna. Essential to Monica Casadei’s artistic research were her encounters with Federico Fellini\, the investigative journey linked to the great lyrical tradition with performances such as Il Barbiere di Siviglia and the series of creations dedicated to opera heroines reinterpreted in a contemporary key (examples include Traviata\, Tosca X\, Carmen K\, Butterfly – Colori Proibiti\, Private Callas\, Puccini’s Opera.Voci di Donne). Artemis Danza’s productions are characterized by contamination with different artistic\, cultural\, and geographical areas\, as well as the exploration of urban places and spaces that become the stage for performative actions. In addition to its production activities\, Artemis supports\, produces\, and promotes young authors and carries out many activities for audience development. \nInfo&Tickets \nTICKETS \nFull price: 10 euros \nDiscounted under 30\, dance schools\, Liceo Coreutico Matilde di Canossa\, over 65\, members of CRAL Comune di Reggio Emilia: 6 euros \nDiscounted under 8: 3 euros \nTICKET PURCHASE \n\nONLINE: https://www.biglietteriafonderia39.it/home.aspx\nFonderia Box Office: the box office opens half an hour before the performance starts (via della Costituzione 39\, Reggio Emilia).\n\nTickets are not numbered. \nCONTACTS FOR RESERVATIONS \nPhone and WhatsApp: 3341023554 \nEmail biglietteria@aterballetto.it

It explores the complex theme of human identity through a relationship of complicity and contrast between two dancers. Mirrored and divergent movements embody inner conflicts and harmonies\, while physical expressiveness and the use of space (in the Komoco language\, considered a living element capable of both uniting and dividing) represent two complementary and essential aspects of the research. \n \nHowever\, the relationship between the two characters on stage goes beyond simple dualism. Through gestures that reveal intimacy and vulnerability\, challenging conventions of masculinity\, the dancers navigate emotional states and become an expressive vehicle for the countless facets contained within each individual. The painting “explodes\,” and the duet thus reflects the ambiguity and multiple personalities that also characterized Kahlo herself: \n“Within me\, multiple identities are hidden; I am a mélange. A mix between a Mexican and an Indigenous person\, but also a Mexican and a European. I am a painter and a wife. I love both women and men […]. In my painting\, I want to represent precisely this: all my ambiguity—no\, not ambiguity\, my many personalities\, my complexity.” (From *The Secret Lover of Frida Kahlo* by Caroline Bernard). \n \nDesigned for both theatrical and unconventional or museum spaces\, The Fridas can be observed from different perspectives\, adding nuances to the exploration of human essence and celebrating its complexity. However\, the ending invites an ironic acceptance of life’s chaos: through parodic movements\, the dancers find in humor the balm to keep facing the challenges of existence. \nSOFIA NAPPI \nSofia Nappi is a choreographer and the artistic director of KOMOCO\, a contemporary dance company based in Italy and active internationally\, which she co-founded together with her first muses\, Adriano Popolo Rubbio and Paolo Piancastelli. From the very beginning\, Sofia’s early creations with KOMOCO won prestigious awards: the Partner Introdans Award (Rotterdam International Duet Choreography Competition 2021)\, and the 1st Prize\, the Critics’ Prize\, and the Production Prize at the 35th International Choreography Competition Hannover\, awarded by the Tanja Liedtke Foundation and Marco Goecke (2021). \nCurrently\, KOMOCO’s works choreographed by Sofia are presented in Italy and on international tours across Europe\, as well as in Mexico\, Canada\, and Serbia\, hosted by renowned institutions and international festivals. As an independent choreographer\, Sofia also creates new works for internationally recognized dance companies and theaters\, including Nederlands Dans Theater 2\, Leipzig Ballet\, Gauthier Dance//Dance Company Theaterhaus Stuttgart\, Ballet BC\, Göteborg Opera\, National Theatre Mannheim\, Staatsoper Hannover\, and Scottish Dance Theatre. \nIn parallel\, Sofia Nappi’s work extends to research and professional training at an international level\, in close collaboration with the dancers of KOMOCO. Since 2022\, she has been organizing the biannual company workshop “Komoco Intensive” in Florence\, welcoming professional dancers from all over the world. Sofia graduated from the Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater in New York; her training has also been significantly influenced by her close connection with the Hofesh Shechter Dance Company and her study of Gaga\, the movement language developed by renowned choreographer Ohad Naharin. \nInfo&Tickets \nTICKETS   \n3 euros   \nPURCHASING TICKETS   \n\nONLINE: https://www.biglietteriafonderia39.it/home.aspx\nFonderia Box Office: the box office opens one hour before the start of the performance (Via della Costituzione 39\, Reggio Emilia).\n\nTickets are unnumbered.   \nCONTACTS FOR RESERVATIONS   \nPhone & WhatsApp: 3341023554   \nEmail biglietteria@aterballetto.it

SUMMARY:STABAT MATER - OPEN REHEARSAL
DESCRIPTION:The Compagnia Artemis Danza / Monica Casadei offers the audience at the Fonderia something unique\, opening the doors to the creative process of its new production Stabat Mater\, which will premiere at the Teatro Rossini in Pesaro on March 14. \nSTABAT MATER \nChoreography\, direction\, sets\, lights\, and costumes Monica Casadei\nMusic Gioachino Rossini\nProduction Compagnia Artemis Danza/Monica Casadei\nIn collaboration with AMAT and Teatro Rossini di Pesaro\nWith the contribution of Ministry of Culture\, Regione Emilia-Romagna – Department of Culture\, Municipality of Parma \nThe creation\, signed by the choreographer from Ferrara Monica Casadei\, is dedicated to Gioachino Rossini’s Stabat Mater; a choral tribute to the soul of women\, to their universal love\, embodied by the mother par excellence. The performance represents the evolution of a multi-year research journey that the choreographer has dedicated to the encounter between dance and religious music.\nStabat Mater is a collective prayer\, timeless and universal\, for a mater dolorosa\, a woman’s heart broken by pain\, a mater lacrimosa that crystallizes in the moment of lament the tragedy of losing a child. \nThe body becomes the medium to tell the emotional experience of those facing the transformation of the primordial bond between mother and child. The performance becomes a cry and a whisper\, noise and silence\, giving voice to a love that transcends loss and never ceases to illuminate\, even in the darkest moments. \nStabat Mater offers a profound and moving fresco of maternity\, in a deep and lyrical tension between pain and hope\, making the mother’s suffering a universal symbol of empathy and resilience. \nThe power of Rossini’s composition plays a crucial role in conveying the emotional intensity of the text\, while the dynamic music elevates the narrative from lament to a song of hope. \nMONICA CASADEI \nOriginally from Ferrara and holding a degree in Philosophy with honors with a thesis on Plato and dance\, Monica Casadei\, after a competitive career in rhythmic gymnastics\, dedicated herself to the study of classical and modern dance\, first in Italy\, then in London\, and finally in Paris where she met choreographers Pierre Doussaint and Isabelle Doubouloz\, as well as the master André Cognard Hanshi So shihan\, with whom she still practices the martial art of Aikido. In 1994\, she founded the company Artemis Danza in France\, and in 1997\, she moved to Italy\, where she began an intense production activity that\, to this day\, counts over fifty original creations. From 1998 to 2007\, the company was in residence at the Fondazione Teatro Due in Parma\, while from 2014 to 2018\, it was in artistic residence at the Teatro Comunale in Bologna. Fundamental to Monica Casadei’s artistic research were her encounters with Federico Fellini\, her investigation into the great lyrical tradition with performances such as Il Barbiere di Siviglia and the series of works dedicated to the heroines of opera reinterpreted in a contemporary key (such as Traviata\, Tosca X\, Carmen K\, Butterfly – Colori Proibiti\, Private Callas\, Puccini’s Opera.Voci di Donne). The productions of Artemis Danza are characterized by their fusion with different artistic\, cultural\, and geographical realms\, as well as the exploration of urban spaces that become the stage for performative actions. Alongside its production activity\, Artemis supports\, produces\, and promotes young authors and carries out numerous activities to educate the public. \nInfo&Tickets \nTICKETS \n3 euros \nFree for children under 6 \nTICKET PURCHASE \n\nONLINE: https://www.biglietteriafonderia39.it/home.aspx\nBox office at Fonderia: The box office opens half an hour before the show starts (via della Costituzione 39\, Reggio Emilia).\n\nTickets are not numbered. \nCONTACTS FOR RESERVATIONS \nCell and WhatsApp: 3341023554 \nEmail biglietteria@aterballetto.it
