ITALIA DANZA – London
Italia Danza, thanks to the collaboration with the Italian Cultural Institute in London, arrives in the UK capital with the performance Il Combattimento di Tancredi e Clorinda.
A cosmopolitan project, entrusted to the universal language of the body, promoted by the General Directorate for Public and Cultural Diplomacy of the Farnesina, and performed by CCN/Aterballetto, thanks to its vast repertoire of site-specific creations, designed to inhabit palaces, monumental or urban spaces, and symbolic cultural sites.
Victoria & Albert Museum South Kensington – London, April 29, 2025, at 11 AM and 1 PM
As part of the Performance Festival at the V&A Museum, CCN/Aterballetto celebrates International Dance Day with Il Combattimento di Tancredi e Clorinda, a dance and live music performance created in September 2024 to enhance Italian cultural heritage, co-designed with the General Directorate of Museums of the Ministry of Culture.
Within the stunning Raphael Gallery of the V&A Museum, the story of love and death narrated by Torquato Tasso in Gerusalemme Liberata (1575) and set to music by Claudio Monteverdi (1624) will come to life. The performance, directed by Fabio Cherstich and Philippe Kratz, features dancers Gador Lago Benito and Alberto Terribile, tenor Matteo Straffi, and harpsichordist Deniel Perer.
Direction and visuals: FABIO CHERSTICH
Choreography and stage movements: PHILIPPE KRATZ
Music: IL COMBATTIMENTO DI TANCREDI E CLORINDA by CLAUDIO MONTEVERDI
Dancers: GADOR LAGO BENITO, ALBERTO TERRIBILE
Singer: MATTEO STRAFFI
Harpsichord: DENIEL PERER
Coproduction: FONDAZIONE NAZIONALE DELLA DANZA / ATERBALLETTO, TEATRO REGIO DI PARMA / FESTIVAL VERDI, TORINODANZA FESTIVAL – TEATRO STABILE DI TORINO – TEATRO NAZIONALE, GHISLIERIMUSICA – CENTRO DI MUSICA ANTICA
Il Combattimento di Tancredi e Clorinda is a project aimed at enhancing live performance activities within cultural institutions and heritage sites, promoted by the General Directorate of Museums and co-financed by the General Directorate for Performing Arts.
To implement the project, the National Museums of Perugia – Regional Directorate of National Museums of Umbria—specifically the National Archaeological Museum and Roman Theatre of Spoleto—have established, with the support of the General Directorate of Museums, a partnership shared with five other significant cultural sites: Villa Pisani in Stra, Castello and Park of Racconigi, Swabian Castle of Bari, Certosa di San Martino in Naples, and the Archaeological Park of Venosa. Additionally, Castel Sant’Angelo in Rome will host the initiative as part of the summer festival Sotto l’angelo di Castello.
The project is part of Italia Danza, a co-designed initiative by the General Directorate for Public and Cultural Diplomacy of the Maeci and CCN/Aterballetto to promote Italian artistic heritage abroad.
In my vision of Il Combattimento di Tancredi e Clorinda, I imagine a confined, circular space where the proximity and similarity of the bodies play a fundamental role. Together with choreographer Philippe Kratz, we explore the idea of bodies as mirrors, thus narrating a humanity in conflict with itself. Eros and Thanatos emerge as equally powerful forces, creating a paradoxical atmosphere in this perfectly balanced struggle between human beings. In our vision, Tancredi and Clorinda are contemporary warriors, inextricably bound to one another, forced to fight and enact a story that has already been written.
A single voice will bring three characters to life: the text itself, Tancredi, and Clorinda will merge into the body and sound of a singer. This estranged sound, constrained by a circular path, creates a sense of constant repetition, emphasizing the endless cycle of this tale of love and death, doomed to repeat itself through the centuries and reach us with all its force, as an emanation of the poetic power of Tasso’s words and Monteverdi’s sublime music.
Fabio Cherstich, Director
In Torquato Tasso’s tale, set to music by Claudio Monteverdi, the most obvious themes are the battle between man and woman and religious conversion, yet these are the aspects I find least intriguing: adapting them into dance would risk falling into a mere narration of factual circumstances.
A more philosophical or psychoanalytical reading of this struggle, from which both protagonists emerge defeated, deceived, and alone, seems far more compelling to me. Within the opposition of these two roles, an entire world already exists: seeking each other, confronting each other, and wounding each other. The dynamic follows the ritualistic pattern of war and conflict, as two entities draw near. The absurdity of the act is revealed when one of them loses their life, and we realize that the other, in the end, has not won… a deep and shared wound that remains on both bodies. Are they two people fighting each other, or perhaps a single person struggling with themselves?
Philippe Kratz, Choreographer
Solo Echo / Rhapsody in Blue / Glory Hall
The CCN/Aterballetto performs in Pamplona as part of the 7th edition of the festival *Museo en Danza* with the triptych consisting of Solo Echo by Crystal Pite, Rhapsody in Blue by Iratxe Ansa and Igor Bacovich, and Glory Hall by Diego Tortelli.
SOLO ECHO – Crystal Pite
Love, loss, and acceptance lie at the heart of Solo Echo by 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 offers us several attractive points: it is splendid music, well-known but not so frequently heard by the younger generations. Introducing this work to young people is a worthy goal, and this piece can be a way to present a less distant and less “American” vision of Gershwin, moving beyond the cultural context in which the rhapsody was created. Inevitably, the rhapsody will dictate the choreographic work; the cheerful and lively changes it offers are fantastic to play with.» – Iratxe Ansa & Igor Bacovich
GLORY HALL – Diego Tortelli
Glory Hall by Diego Tortelli is a sensorial and rebellious journey into an in-between space, suspended between light and darkness. The music leads in a crescendo of harmony and transgression, creating a boundless ecstasy that blends rock sounds with symphonic melodies.
blockquote>The performance in Pamplona is in collaboration with the Italian Cultural Institute in Madrid and the Directorate-General for Public and Cultural Diplomacy of the MAECI.
NOTTE MORRICONE
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.'”
