Italia Danza – Sofia

Largo di Sofia Sofia
27 April H 16.30

From Sofia to Madrid, passing through Oslo and Cologne: this is the second phase of Italia Danza, on stage from April 27 to May 24, 2024.

A cosmopolitan project, entrusted to the universal language of the body, desired by the General Directorate for Public and Cultural Diplomacy of the Italian Ministry of Foreign Affairs (Farnesina), and performed by CCN/Aterballetto thanks to its rich heritage of site-specific creations. A contemporary repertoire that includes MicroDanze (short creations for confined spaces, created by Italian and international choreographers), but also stage shows reimagined for the occasion, so they can be presented anywhere.

Under the dome of Largo di Sofia, on April 27, 2024 at 4:30 PM, 5:45 PM, and 7:00 PM.

Organized by: Embassy of Italy in Sofia, Italian Cultural Institute of Sofia

In collaboration with: Municipality of Sofia, Regional Museum of the City of Sofia

“Presenting Aterballetto’s MicroDances in Sofia is an opportunity to bring to the attention of the capital’s audience an absolute excellence of Italian contemporary dance and Made in Italy. Bulgaria, on the other hand, is known worldwide for the very high level of its artists in the musical field and for its traditional dances. Therefore, a fertile ground will welcome the talented dancers of Aterballetto in Sofia, for whom the Municipality itself has made available a place symbolizing the history and culture of the country, the Largo. I am confident that the Italian artists will give the local audience an unforgettable artistic moment, further proof of the strong cultural ties that unite Italy and Bulgaria.

Maria Mazza
Director of the Italian Cultural Institute in Sofia

STORIE

Teatro Civico Vercelli
9 May H 21.00

Aterballetto performs Stories at the Civic Theater in Vercelli as part of the We Speak Dance festival.

Stories is a small anthology of danced fragments. They represent only an infinitesimal part of the rich artistic and human universe of the two choreographers Diego Tortelli and Philippe Kratz.
Tortelli creates two pieces: Prelude, opening the evening, is a love letter to the body for five dancers set to the music of Nick Cave, Another Story is a duet on the impossible gesture of 2020, the hug. Between past and future are the two creations of Kratz. The duo “O” presents two bodies/automatons, forcing us to question how the sense of physical contact might change: will it remain emotional and heartfelt, or become serial and alienated? Alpha Grace, a sextet at the conclusion of the evening, is a reflection on empathy, a gentle form of communication between people who feel on the same level. It too is challenged by the present times.

 

FORM 0

Fonderia Reggio Emilia
9 May H 21.00

 

Visible things can be invisible. If someone rides a horse in a forest, first you see him, then not, but you know he’s there. In The White Signature, the horsewoman hides the trees and the trees hide her in turn. However, our thought includes both, the visible and the invisible. And I use painting to make thought visible.
R. Magritte

The perfect balance of forms can be satisfying… but also unsettling.
Starting from the fascination for symmetry understood as a compositional tool to convey harmony, and from the multiple symbolic meanings of the mirror in the arts, in Form 0, his first female duo, Riccardo Buscarini explores symmetry as a place of disharmony and conflict.
How can a dialogue be possible if we see ourselves while looking at the other?
What happens if similarity leads us to merge into each other and lose our identity?

From a distorted mirror emerges a monstrous image.

YELED / SECUS

Lodz Grand Theatre Łódź
16 May H 19.00

The Aterballetto Company performs at the Lodz Ballet Festival 2024 in Poland, showcasing Yeled by Eyal Dadon and Secus by Ohad Naharin.

YELED – Eyal Dadon

Yeled in Hebrew means child. Can we change ourselves as adults? Can we go back to being children?
“In the process of creation with the dancers, I reflected on the moment in our lives, as adults, when we lost the feeling of being children, the feeling of being naturally pure, and the ability to have clean filters. When was the moment we lost our innocence and why? One of the main keys to the creation is the real things we learned as children and how these things shaped us into the people we are today.” – Eyal Dadon

SECUS – Ohad Naharin

Secus is a creation by Ohad Naharin which boasts a musical collage ranging from the unusual electronic styles of AGF to the seductive Indian melodies of Kaho Naa Pyar Hai to the resonant harmonies of the Beach Boys. This adventurously eclectic mix serves as a fitting backdrop for the boldly extravagant choreography.
