Rhapsody in Blue / Another Story / Bliss

Rhapsody in Blue / Another Story / Bliss

Teatro Comunale Modena Modena
16 April H 20.30
, , ,

The Aterballetto Company is on stage at the Modena Municipal Theater with a new triptych of choreographies: Rhapsody in Blue by Iratxe Ansa and Igor Bacovich, Another Story by Diego Tortelli, and Bliss by Johan Inger.

Rhapsody in Blue is a brand-new creation by Iratxe Ansa and Igor Bacovich set to the music of George Gershwin’s eponymous composition. Another Story by Diego Tortelli, premiered in 2021 in Rovereto, tells the story of the most feared and desired gesture of 2020, a year marked by a global epidemic: the hug, set to the music of the English rock band Spiritualized. BLISS is one of the company’s flagship works, created by the award-winning Swedish choreographer Johan Inger. Accompanied by the notes of Keith Jarrett’s famous and iconic Köln Concert, the choreography is a true celebration of the joy of dancing. The euphoria of the performers is a pleasure to behold, so contagious and powerful that since 2016 it continues to captivate theaters around the world.

STORIE

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.

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.
