Sunday, January 28th Aterballetto performs at the Teatro Comunale di Todi, as part of the 2023/2024 season organized by the Teatro Stabile dell’Umbria. For the occasion, the entire company of sixteen dancers presents a triptych composed of Alpha Grace, and “O” by Philippe Kratz, and Shoot me by Diego Tortelli.

Between past and future, two creations by Philippe Kratz. Alpha Grace, a pas de six, is a reflection on empathy, a form of gentle communication between people who feel on the same level. It, too, is put to the test by the present times.
Following that is “O”, two bodies/automatons that force us to question how the sense of physical contact might change: will it remain emotional and felt, or become serial and alienated?
Closing the performance is the choreography by Diego Tortelli, Shoot me, which, in its construction, draws inspiration from the concept of a concert-ballet revisited in a contemporary key, where music and dance accompany each other. A frontal work that aims to establish a direct exchange between the dancers on stage and the audience in the auditorium: a game of seduction, of glances, of sweat, an assault on the senses, and an ode to the body, to breathing the same air, sweat, tears, fury, pride.
