Aterballetto Tour

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.

YELED / SECUS

16 May H 19.00

Aterballetto, Secus, Yeled

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.
