Four languages meet, and offer their contribution to a “time & site specific” creation, born at the time of isolation, but gradually became an articulated and complex research site.
A story (by Simone Giorgi) of loneliness feelings chasing each other from one side of the walls to the other, on the thread of great pieces of repertoire (Ludwig van Beethoven) or music written for the occasion (by Fabio Massimo Capogrosso).
Here is the cue for the choreographic research (by Saul Daniele Ardillo) around the body of dancers, who are isolated from an epidemic in the spring of 2020, but could be isolated in any spring of their (and our) life. Under the gaze and at the editing pace of Valeria Civardi. With the suggestions of a painting by Luisa Rabbia, evocative and material at the same time.
The Fondazione Nazionale della Danza / Aterballetto of Reggio Emilia and La Toscanini of Parma are working together in May and June for a “dance and music (video)creation” with the dancers of the company and the musicians of the Filarmonica Arturo Toscanini, with the support of Collezione Maramotti and the production partnership of Ravenna Festival.
This new “remote creation” premieres on RAI5 on June 25th 2020
