Co-production: Compagnia Artemis Danza, Festival Internazionale di Danza Acqui in Palcoscenico BEinSIDE

Akmé is a piece of contemporary dance performed by two dancers who convey sensations close to the limit. They use their bodies to create images open to the viewer’s interpretation.
An inspiring choreography that immerses you in the world of relationships, both the one you share with another person and the one you have with yourself.

The original word Akmé, which comes from Greek, signifies the point of greatest intensity, of highest splendor.

Can you recall a situation in which you experienced the highest intensity?

Duration: 25 minutes

That’s all: it’s everything.

It could be a surrender, a farewell, or the beginning of a new act about to start. In a wunderkammer full of gestures and dances, we find wonder and irony, body and voice, sounds, and characters that appear only to dissolve. Here, a series of events emerge and vanish, making space for one another. Starting from themes such as meditation and the emergence of unconscious parts, the performer articulates the action, following a flow and rhythmic crescendo that leads him through a small odyssey filled with unexpected situations. Physicality, changes in state and color, ignite a play of sparks and invitations, open to transformation and unpredictability.

“One thing is certain: time is long, in these conditions, and it drives us to fill it with movements that may seem reasonable at first glance, but to which we are accustomed. You will tell me that it is to prevent our reason from sinking. Agreed. But isn’t it already soaring in the absolute night of the great abysses, that’s what I sometimes wonder. Are you following me?”

This contemporary dance project is realized with two performers who seek to showcase the beauty of imperfection.
They reflect on the concept of beauty and what lies behind it. By challenging predetermined standards of beauty in our culture and society, and exploring perspectives far from common aesthetics, they draw inspiration from iconic works of art to create movements and dynamics that give voice to experiences, ideas, and emotions beyond what is perceived by the naked eye.

Sabino Barbieri, born in Caracas (January 15, 1997) and residing in Modena, has a background as a theater director from UNEARTE in Venezuela. He studied music at the Simón Bolívar Conservatory. He trained at Modena Danza and Art Factory International in Italy. He has worked with the contemporary dance company of the Teresa Carreño Theater, DRAMO, Artemis Danza, and others. He won the Miradas Festival (2017) for new directors in Caracas and international dance competitions in the cities of Rieti and Spoleto. At the same time, he is a yoga instructor at AIYY. He is the founder of the dance company La Casa Oscura.

Núria Argilés, born in Spain (October 30, 1997) and residing in Bologna, graduated in Motor Sciences and Physical Activity from INEF. She trained in contemporary dance at Art Factory International in Italy. She has classical dance training, achieving up to Advanced 1 from the RAD.
She has worked with the urban dance group MovementiCS, the duet Akrúa, the Austrian company Connecting Arts, and others. She is a founder of the dance company La Casa Oscura. Simultaneously, she works as a personal trainer and fitness trainer and is developing a study on physical preparation for professional dancers.

Davide Tagliavini, a dancer, performer, and choreographer, trained in Italy and Brussels. In 2024, he choreographed the operas L’elisir d’amore for the Teatro Regio di Parma and Tristan und Isolde for the Teatro Massimo di Palermo, both directed by Daniele Menghini.

Le Blatte

Le Blatte

Fonderia Reggio Emilia
18 December H 20.30
, ,

The choreographer Carlo Massari and his company C&C Company return to the Fonderia with a new ironic and tragicomic choreography.

LE BLATTE is a contemporary, surreal, and social physical fable, harsh and disillusioned, attempting to describe reality in its moving and wonderfully desolate state. A humanist parable, narrated with unreal lightness, this new creation tries to transform the banality of daily life into poetry, suspending its antihero protagonists between the prison of reality and a dream of escape.

Wednesday, December 18 at 6:00 PM open rehearsal

Wednesday, December 18 at 8:30 PM performance

Original creation: Carlo Massari

Sound composition: Andreas Moulin

Dramaturgical support: Sara Lemaire

Vocal consulting: Chiara Osella

Scenographic and costume consulting: Eleonora Peronetti

Lighting design: Francesco Massari

Production: C&C Company

In co-production with Oriente Occidente, (other partners to be defined)

International production delegated to Petri-Dish (Belgium)

With the contribution of Assessorato alla Cultura – Regione Emilia Romagna

With the support of ARTEFICI. Residenze Creative FVG, Centro Jobel

With the support of Théâtre Les Brigittines, Teatro Akropolis

Dreamlike and subtly political, LE BLATTE is conceived to combine social realism with tragicomic writing, opposing sentimentality and pathos while inviting the audience to reflect on the present (and perhaps the near future) through dark and biting humor. Seriously ironic, the compositional poetics will use the language of defeat to speak of hope, the decay awaiting rebirth, and the fall before (perhaps) the longed-for rise. An absurd and tragicomic act in which the spectator, whether they like it or not, can see themselves in the fragilities of everyday life.

An apocryphal Gospel narrating of involuntary sinners awaiting a personal Apocalypse, a winning scratch card, or a “…And they all lived happily ever after” that will never come. Souls attempting to drown their melancholy and worries in continuous, incessant activity—talking, dancing, humming, whistling… A petty, bewildered, and authentic humanity, constantly able to fall and rise again, roaming hungry in search of connections with others.

A bustling microcosm that brings to life various scenic tableaux composed of bodies and voices, in a transdisciplinary mix of essential and unembellished languages, which has characterized C&C Company’s poetic research from the beginning. The use of bodies and movement supports the hyper-narrative scenic expression.

LE BLATTE is based on a dramaturgical construction designed in sequential chapters, currently identified by the following subtitles: Fino a qui tutto bene (So Far, So Good), Antropo-cena (Anthro-dinner), Tragedia (Tragedy), Residuo non differenziabile (Non-Sortable Waste), La Bellezza salverà il mondo? (Will Beauty Save the World?), Tutto è bene quel che finisce (All’s Well That Ends). A sparse, minimalist set: a concrete monolith, perhaps an old wall, enhanced by video-mapping projections of migrating cockroaches seeking survival, and brought to life by constant interaction with the five performers who, in turn, struggle and flounder to avoid succumbing to one another. A dystopian metaphor, but not too much…

C&C, directed by Carlo Massari, identifies itself as a project dedicated to the creation and development of an evolving artistic language, aimed at a physical and dramaturgical investigation. It seeks to convey and share energy and creativity in the most direct, clear, and real manner possible, closely related to the pressing contemporary social issues. Characterized by constant and unembellished work, C&C focuses on the depth of interpersonal relationships with the goal of bringing truth to the stage through a deeply physical language that allows the audience to feel represented within its universality.

Founded in 2011, the Company has shown from the start a strong inclination towards hybridization and the transversality in the use of dance in relation to other contemporary performative codes, establishing and solidifying itself today as a “Amphibian” creative identity.

Among its numerous productions, the most recent include: Beast without Beauty, Les Miserables, A Peso Morto, RIGHT, Metamorphosis… which have received significant recognition and international tours. The company frequently creates works involving community engagement, establishing a dialogue that enhances the artistic project: a search for relational truth that characterizes the company’s poetics and is combined with a total imaginative openness capable of bringing the audience closer to the theatrical experience.

«”I, Ennio Morricone, am dead”, wrote the composer before saying goodbye. His music, on the other hand, cannot. And this is how creators and artists always leave us without leaving us, and this is how memory takes care of keeping them alive, keeping them safe. Notte Morricone is my gift, a devoted tribute to the beauty he gave to the world. Ennio Morricone could be my father, or my grandfather, I am a direct heir of his legacy, of the films that (whether masterpieces, good, mediocre, or bad) owe him an immeasurable debt.» – Marcos Morau

Notte Morricone, the new creation of CCN/Aterballetto signed by the award-winning choreographer Marcos Morau, is in Ludwigsburg, Germany.

Notte Morricone is a devoted tribute by choreographer Marcos Morau to the beauty that Oscar winner Ennio Morricone gave to the world.

Notte Morricone takes place in the twilight of an ordinary night in the life of a creative, who alone and dazed in front of his sheets, takes notes and visualizes melodies for films that do not yet exist, bringing stories back to life in the rarefied air of his room.

«People often ask me what music I listen to, what music inspires or accompanies me in my daily life, and I always respond the same way: from classical music to the new contemporary waves, I draw inspiration from many different sources, and Ennio Morricone is always at the top of the list.

Morricone’s music embodies that abstract sense of what is unspoken and unseen in films. Although it is almost impossible to separate his music from the images it accompanies, Morricone transcends and intertwines with life itself, with memories, and with the beauty and cruelty of a world that continues to move forward, destroying and rebuilding itself every day. His music has a powerful melancholic quality that comes from both the contemplation of the past and the impossibility of capturing any past experience.

Classically trained and avant-garde by vocation, Morricone has always been beyond the trends of the moment. Today, three years after his death, Morricone continues to inspire artists and visionaries from different fields, and his music belongs to an entire century, having revived many of our great masters. His music was a genre unto itself, and for this evening I want to build a universe based on his sensibility to confirm that his legacy is more alive than ever and that, as he would say himself, “my music has a life of its own, which can live far from the films for which it was created.”»

Marcos Morau

Recently appointed Knight of the Order of Arts and Letters by the French Ministry of Culture and selected as the best choreographer of the year 2023 by the German magazine TANZ, the career of Marcos Morau (Valencia 1982) continues to grow as a creator and stage director.

Trained between Barcelona and New York in photography, choreography, and theatrical theory and dramaturgy, Marcos Morau constructs imaginary worlds and landscapes where image, text, movement, music, and space form a unique universe that is constantly nourished by cinema, photography, and literature.

Since 2004, Marcos has directed La Veronal, a company present in the best theaters and festivals in over thirty countries: Théâtre National de Chaillot in Paris, the Venice Biennale, the Avignon Festival, Tanz Im August in Berlin, the RomaEuropa Festival, the SIDance Festival in Seoul, Sadler’s Wells in London, Danse Danse Montreal, among many others.

In addition to his work with La Veronal, Marcos Morau is an international guest artist in various companies and theaters where he develops new creations, always halfway between the performing arts and dance: Nederlands Dans Theater, Lyon Opera Ballet, Les Grands Ballets Canadiens, Royal Danish Ballet, and The Royal Ballet of Flanders, among others.

As the youngest creator to receive the National Dance Award, the highest recognition in Spain, the future of Morau and La Veronal aims at exploring new formats and languages where opera, dance, and physical theater interact more than ever, seeking new ways to express and communicate in our ever-turbulent and constantly evolving present time.

From this season, he is an associate artist at Staatsballett Berlin.

“La Veronal is a reminder that dance is often at the forefront of the most innovative theater.” – The New York Times

“Morau’s visual treatment is so brilliant, so vividly strange, that we find ourselves immersed in what turns out to be a story of transmission and emancipation.” – Le Monde

“Morau, one of the most interesting young choreographers on the contemporary dance scene.” – El País

As the youngest creator to receive the National Dance Award, the highest recognition in Spain, the future of Morau and La Veronal aims at exploring new formats and languages where opera, dance, and physical theater interact more than ever, seeking new ways to express and communicate in our ever-turbulent and constantly evolving present time.

From this season, he is an associate artist at Staatsballett Berlin.

“La Veronal is a reminder that dance is often at the forefront of the most innovative theater.” – The New York Times

“Morau’s visual treatment is so brilliant, so vividly strange, that we find ourselves immersed in what turns out to be a story of transmission and emancipation.” – Le Monde

“Morau, one of the most interesting young choreographers on the contemporary dance scene.” – El País

«”I, Ennio Morricone, am dead”, wrote the composer before saying goodbye. His music, on the other hand, cannot. And this is how creators and artists always leave us without leaving us, and this is how memory takes care of keeping them alive, keeping them safe. Notte Morricone is my gift, a devoted tribute to the beauty he gave to the world. Ennio Morricone could be my father, or my grandfather, I am a direct heir of his legacy, of the films that (whether masterpieces, good, mediocre, or bad) owe him an immeasurable debt.» – Marcos Morau

Notte Morricone, the new creation of CCN/Aterballetto signed by the award-winning choreographer Marcos Morau, is at the Teatro Sociale di Trento.

Notte Morricone is a devoted tribute by choreographer Marcos Morau to the beauty that Oscar winner Ennio Morricone gave to the world.

Notte Morricone takes place in the twilight of an ordinary night in the life of a creative, who alone and dazed in front of his sheets, takes notes and visualizes melodies for films that do not yet exist, bringing stories back to life in the rarefied air of his room.

«People often ask me what music I listen to, what music inspires or accompanies me in my daily life, and I always respond the same way: from classical music to the new contemporary waves, I draw inspiration from many different sources, and Ennio Morricone is always at the top of the list.

Morricone’s music embodies that abstract sense of what is unspoken and unseen in films. Although it is almost impossible to separate his music from the images it accompanies, Morricone transcends and intertwines with life itself, with memories, and with the beauty and cruelty of a world that continues to move forward, destroying and rebuilding itself every day. His music has a powerful melancholic quality that comes from both the contemplation of the past and the impossibility of capturing any past experience.

Classically trained and avant-garde by vocation, Morricone has always been beyond the trends of the moment. Today, three years after his death, Morricone continues to inspire artists and visionaries from different fields, and his music belongs to an entire century, having revived many of our great masters. His music was a genre unto itself, and for this evening I want to build a universe based on his sensibility to confirm that his legacy is more alive than ever and that, as he would say himself, “my music has a life of its own, which can live far from the films for which it was created.”»

Marcos Morau

Recently appointed Knight of the Order of Arts and Letters by the French Ministry of Culture and selected as the best choreographer of the year 2023 by the German magazine TANZ, the career of Marcos Morau (Valencia 1982) continues to grow as a creator and stage director.

Trained between Barcelona and New York in photography, choreography, and theatrical theory and dramaturgy, Marcos Morau constructs imaginary worlds and landscapes where image, text, movement, music, and space form a unique universe that is constantly nourished by cinema, photography, and literature.

Since 2004, Marcos has directed La Veronal, a company present in the best theaters and festivals in over thirty countries: Théâtre National de Chaillot in Paris, the Venice Biennale, the Avignon Festival, Tanz Im August in Berlin, the RomaEuropa Festival, the SIDance Festival in Seoul, Sadler’s Wells in London, Danse Danse Montreal, among many others.
