The Fondazione Nazionale della Danza / Aterballetto closes its 2018-2019 season in the renovated Chiostri di San Pietro in Reggio Emilia.

Abiectio by Damiano Artale is an engaging duet on the notes of the Passion of Bach and the Requiem Pies Jesus by Fauré. Followed by “O” by Philippe Kratz, choreography from the unstoppable rhythm awarded at the prestigious competition in Hanover 2018. BLISS, a masterpiece by Johan Inger to the notes of Keith Jarrett’s Koln Concert, is a dance that emanates happiness and above all life. A joy for the performers, who surrender to the music without any resistance, and for the public, who can admire the maturity and skill of each dancer.

Abiectio

When violence bathes the soul of a human being, we celebrate the failure of communication, also the funeral of education. Frightened and disoriented, an injured individual looks at himself in the mirror with degrading mortification and responds to the outside world by attacking. Every man, however, in possession of that particular gift called empathy, places himself immediately and positively in the condition of

''O''

The idea at the base of “O” is eternity and how attaining it is humanity’s ultimate goal. As in the summer of 2017 in Hong Kong for the very first time two humanoid robots vocally interacted with one another it became clear to anyone watching that a future, in which accumulated human knowledge is passed on by communicating inorganic material, is within reach. Therefore “O” can be seen as two human beings or two robots celebrating in a state of transcendence and emotional fulfilment, both moving to the never-ending beat of their unstoppable hearts.
And as the spaceship computer Hal in Stanley Kubrick’s movie ‘2001: A Space Odyssey’ puts it: “I know I’ve made some very poor decisions recently, but I can give you my complete assurance that my work will be back to normal. I’ve still got the greatest enthusiasm and confidence in the mission. And I want to help you.”
