The Aterballetto Company arrives in the Basque Country, in San Sebastián, to open the Feria des Artes Escenicas with a program of three choreographies involving the entire company of 16 dancers.
The evening begins with Yeled by Eyal Dadon, followed by Shoot Me by Diego Tortelli, and concludes with Rhapsody in Blue, the new production by Iratxe Ansa and Igor Bacovich, debuting in February 2024.
YELED – Eyal Dadon
Yeled, a Hebrew word meaning “child,” brings to the stage the reflection that Israeli choreographer Eyal Dadon , together with the dancers of Aterballetto, has undertaken on the moment in life when one loses the innocence of childhood.
SHOOT ME – Diego Tortelli
Shoot Me by the resident choreographer of CCN / Aterballetto, Diego Tortelli, is a frontal work that establishes a direct exchange relationship between the dancers on stage and the audience in the auditorium. A game of seduction, gazes, sweat, an assault on the senses, and an ode to the body, to breathing the same air, sweat, tears, fury, pride.
RHAPSODY IN BLUE – Iratxe Ansa & Igor Bacovich
«Rhapsody in Blue by George Gershwin holds various attractions for us. It is beautiful music, known but perhaps not so frequently heard by newer generations. Introducing this work to the young audience is a good goal, and it can be a way to provide a less distant and less ‘American’ vision of Gershwin, going beyond the cultural context in which the rhapsody was created. The rhapsody will naturally dictate the choreographic work, and the lively, sparkling changes it offers are fantastic to play with.»– Iratxe Ansa & Igor Bacovich
