Solo Echo / Rhapsody in Blue / Shoot me

The CCN/Aterballetto dances in Cholet, France, the triptych composed of Rhapsody in Blue by Iratxe Ansa and Igor Bacovich, Solo Echo by Crystal Pite, and Shoot me by Diego Tortelli.

SOLO ECHO – Crystal Pite

Love, loss, and acceptance are at the heart of Solo Echo by the Canadian choreographer Crystal Pite, inspired by two cello and piano sonatas by Johannes Brahms and the poem “Lines for Winter” by Mark Strand. As in Strand’s poem, Solo Echo evokes winter, music, and the moving body to express something essential about acceptance and loss.

RHAPSODY IN BLUE – Iratxe Ansa & Igor Bacovich

«Rhapsody in Blue by George Gershwin has several attractive points for us. It is a splendid piece of music, well-known but not so frequently listened to by the younger generations. Introducing this work to young people is a good objective, and this piece can be a way to present a less distant and less “American” vision of Gershwin, going beyond the cultural context in which the rhapsody was created. The rhapsody will inevitably dictate the choreographic work, and the lively, sparkling changes with which to play are fantastic. »Iratxe Ansa & Igor Bacovich

 

SHOOT ME – Diego Tortelli

Shoot Me by Diego Tortelli is a frontal work that puts the dancers on stage and the audience in the auditorium in a direct exchange relationship: a game of seduction, glances, sweat, an assault on the senses and an ode to the body, to breathing the same air, sweat, tears, fury, pride.
