NOTTE MORRICONE

Teatro Morlacchi Perugia
22 February H 20.45

The National Choreographic Center/Aterballetto pays tribute to Ennio Morricone with a new production by Spanish choreographer Marcos Morau.

The Spanish artist, with his visionary power and ability to transform musical universes, presents a unique creation that intertwines the music of Academy Award winner Ennio Morricone with dance, visual arts, and cinematic inspirations.
Marcos Morau, the youngest choreographer to date to receive the National Dance Award, Spain’s highest honor in dance, constructs imaginary worlds and landscapes where image, text, movement, music, and space form a unique universe constantly nurtured by cinema, photography, and literature. Now, for his first collaboration with the CCN/Aterballetto, he has chosen to draw from iconic compositions of the cinematic landscape of the last seventy years: those of Academy Award winner Ennio Morricone.
The director says: “With classical training and an avant-garde vocation, Morricone has always been beyond the trends of his time. His music spans an entire century and has revived the works of many great masters. For this evening, I aim to build a universe based on his sensitivity, confirming that his legacy is more alive than ever, and, as he himself would say, ‘My music has a life of its own, which can live beyond the films for which it was created.'”

Solo Echo / Reconciliatio / Glory Hall

Teatro Regio Parma
15 March H 20.30

CCN/Aterballetto dances at the Teatro Regio di Parma with a brand new triptych, destined to add new and unexpected nuances to the already eclectic repertoire of the company.

The dancers of CCN/Aterballetto are the protagonists of a production by the multi-award-winning Crystal Pite, a Canadian choreographer now in the pantheon of dance. Solo Echo is inspired by two sonatas for cello and piano by Johannes Brahms and the poem “Lines for Winter” by Mark Strand. As in Strand’s poem, Solo Echo invokes winter, music, and the moving body to express something essential about acceptance and loss.

An echo, a wave by Philippe Kratz, a former Aterballetto dancer and now a choreographer sought after by the most important companies, is a duet inspired by the hypnotic view of the sea and the concept of eternity that inspires us: two people dancing always go through different states of mind, contrasting emotions, closeness, and distance.

The last choreography, Glory Hall, is the new production by Diego Tortelli, which gives the company and the audience a fresco of sensuality and overwhelming vitality.

Solo Echo / Rhapsody in Blue / Shoot me

Espace Jean Legendre Compiègne
18 March H 20.30

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