Massimo Monticelli – Eroide Contemporanea
Giorgia Lolli – Eufemia, ph. Andrea Couceiro
Two young choreographers from Emilia-Romagna confront on stage a deromanticized present and a past with a nostalgic flavor.
Massimo Monticelli, an internationally known dancer and choreographer, drawing inspiration from Ovid’s collections of love epistles, rewrites one of them: his Eroide Contemporanea. The letter becomes an opportunity to pose a reflection on love, art and loneliness.
Giorgia Lolli, through collaboration with Sophie Claire Annen and Vittoria Caneva, creates Eufemia. On stage, a non-romantic vision of romance and a nostalgia for eras never lived meet.
With the patronage of
Music: C. Debussy, B. Bàrtok
Production: TIR dance
With the support of: ImPulsTanz, Vienna (AT), Santarcangelo Festival, Rete h(abita)t Bologna.
In his Heroides, Ovid imagines a collection of letters written by some of the most famous women of myth for their respective men who, for one reason or another, abandoned them. Massimo Monticelli wants here to compose a new eroid. Going through a fragment of life, a letter becomes an opportunity to pose a reflection on love, art and loneliness.

Eufemia, from the Greek, she who speaks well, or she who is spoken of well, is a creation for three young women and a typewriter. On stage, a non-romantic vision of romance and a nostalgia for eras never lived meet. The performers, furnishing the rooms of a utopian world, construct between the abstract and the concrete a dimension in which everything becomes both subject and frame. They cultivate an “imperfectionism” devoid of approximations, which opens to new possible views and oversights.
Euphemia: celestial, moody, eloquent, intimate, sophisticated, light.
It is everything you decide it is.
Eufemia, Giorgia Lolli – ph. Andrea Couceiro
