Shoot me – Secus

Aterballetto is back in the spotlight at the Operaestate festival in Bassano del Grappa with SHOOT ME and Secus, two choreographies that between plasticity and energy seem to translate Canova’s work into movement.

For the creation SHOOT ME, choreographer Diego Tortelli reinterprets the idea of the concert-ballet in a contemporary key: music and dance thus accompany each other in a composition without narrative, but which guides the spectator to create open imagery and to feel emotions, inspired by the imagery of demonstrations, pride, catwalks… everything that connects in a group and that at the same time allows one not to lose one’s own voice. A work that puts the dancers on stage and the audience in the stalls in direct contact: a game of seduction, of glances, an assault on the senses and an ode to the body.

 

Secus, on the other hand, is a creation by Ohad Naharin, boasting a musical collage that stretches 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. An adventurously eclectic mix, which serves as a backdrop for a daring and extravagant choreography: in which a human alphabet is composed of runs, solos, terse and clean gestures, interrupted duets, which, through precise and sudden gestures, expresses pure emotions and feelings without becoming sentimental. Joy, vulnerability, fear, innocence, confusion and anger weave a harmonious and dynamic canvas that oscillates between delicacy and exaggeration.
