Every time a civilisation puts its own existence at risk, as we have today, Cassandra re-emerges from the folds of the myth and leaves us stunned by her apocalyptic assertions. In Cassandra by Teatro Gioco Vita, she is a girl – of our times perhaps – who cannot bear to witness the devastating process of extinction that is taking place without giving her own “testimony”. French premiere.
Artemis Danza’s and Monica Casadei’s new artistic project investigates and interprets in a contemporary key four fascinating heroines of the composer from Lucca: Tosca, Madama Butterfly, Mimì, and Turandot. In San Francisco, the company will also conduct a masterclass.
Aterballetto dances the triple bill composed of 'Secus' by Ohad Naharin, “O” by Philippe Kratz and 'BLISS' by Johan Inger – a unique opportunity to admire the company through shades of contrast, from the joyful concert in dance by Johan Inger to the unstoppable and hypnotic rhythm of Philippe Kratz, to vigorous rituality of Ohad Naharin.
Casadei continues the investigation of a theme that is very close to her heart: violence against women. After Tosca, Violetta, and Carmen, she addresses the topic again in consideration of the sad and disturbing reality of the increase in domestic violence and, in general, in suffering and abuse against all minorities. A show between raw realism and poetry dictated by a possible redemption.
