FND/Aterballetto-Stravaganze in Sol Minore
Stravaganze in Sol Minore by Francesca Lattuada arrives in Florence as the closing show of the Komorebi project, curated by Stazione Utopia for the Autunno Fiorentino 2024.
The magical virtuosity of Toti Scialoja (1914–1998), a master not only of images but also of words, forms the foundation of this new creation for children and young audiences by Fondazione Nazionale della Danza / Aterballetto.
The almost magical vibrations emanating from Scialoja’s poetry are like the endless ripples created on the surface of water when a stone is thrown: evocative of surreal or hyperreal images, carrying a musicality that blends poetry and nursery rhyme, and uniting the extraordinary and the eerie.
Sotto un cespo di rose scarlatte
Offre il rospo tè caldo con latte
Sotto un cespo di rose paonazze
Tocca al rospo sciacquare le tazze.
(Toti Scialoja, La mela di Amleto, 1984)
