Double Performance:
Tuesday, June 4 – 9:00 PM
Wednesday, June 5 – 9:00 PM
The protagonists of the evening are the dancers of the Agora Coaching Project, an advanced training project promoted and supported by the MM Contemporary Dance Company and the A.S.D Progetto Danza of Reggio Emilia, under the artistic direction of Michele Merola and Enrico Morelli. Started in 2010, the course is gaining full recognition in the European dance world and boasts collaborations with internationally renowned teachers and choreographers.
SCHUBERT FRAMES by Enrico Morelli
To the extraordinary music of Franz Schubert, Enrico Morelli has entrusted his work: no one better than the Viennese composer has been able to interpret the conflicting feelings of love, tension, melancholy, regret, but also hope. A collage of famous pieces by Schubert, extracted from true masterpieces – composed two centuries ago, still amaze today for their great relevance – serve as the soundtrack to this work dedicated to the many souls of contemporary man, where love gives way to disenchantment, detachment to sharing, passion to fear, and vice versa, in a back-and-forth between crescendos and diminuendos, revealing entire universes and secret connections. The choreography aims to be a tale of solitudes and kindred spirits, in an era like ours, weary, murky, disenchanted, tormented by a malaise that is in the air, but also anxiously searching for meaning and a hope of happiness, some tenderness. A tale of comings and goings that focuses mainly on the moment of return, because happiness is a home to return to, perhaps changed, heedless of the accelerated pace of a present that risks making us struggle and a future we fear to explore. The problem is not to arrive, but to return. To learn to love again each time. To have the courage to recognize ourselves as fragile, and therefore generous in tenderness.
METEOROLOGY RECHARGED by Michele Di Stefano
Seven pieces on the coexistence and proximity between bodies, on what makes dance a formidable tool for knowing the other and others; the work is primarily a path of appropriation of the external space to give body and rhythm to a very simple idea: that dance has the ability to create a welcoming place where someone else’s dance can exist. For this reason, the dancers’ attention is always directed outward, to what is near, around the body. With an exotic touch that doesn’t hurt. We would like this space, which each body projects outward, to be perceived as a “possible” space of coexistence, proximity, and invention, based purely on facts.
