Dance
Italia Danza is a project by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation (MAECI) and CCN/Aterballetto. The project is realised through the MAECI Directorate General for Public and Cultural Diplomacy, and is developed in collaboration with the Italian Cultural Institutes and with the support of Emilia-Romagna Region and the Municipality of Reggio Emilia.
The core of Italia Danza is the idea of crossing the symbolic places of Italian culture in the world, the Italian Cultural Institutes, Embassies, and diplomatic headquarters through site-specific performances imagined to inhabit palaces, halls, and auditoriums, but also small monumental or urban spaces.
The first phase of the project takes place in the last two months of 2023, between Europe and Africa, and includes six important stages: Prague, Brussels, Zagreb, Stockholm, London. and Dakar. In 2024 and 2025, the project will keep spreading to new destinations and new continents.
The MicroDanze (MicroDances) – with which the National Choreographic Centre/Aterballetto of Reggio Emilia has specialised in site-specific performance – are emblematic of this project. These are short creations signed by Italian and international choreographers that have already been exhibited in highly suggestive places such as the Acropolis Museum in Athens, at the National Museum of Castel Sant'Angelo in Rome, at Les Halles de Schaerbeek in Brussels, and in Brescia, Italian Capital of Culture 2023. By imagining that the headquarters of Italian Embassies and Cultural Institutes can be transformed into surprising spaces where dance can be discovered, the performances focus attention on a fundamental aspect of Italian creativity, the contemporary art, capable of creating new languages and new audiences.

Wrapped in the elegant and impalpable costume by Bruno Fatalot, a dancer moves solemnly on a barrel-pedestal, pulled by the painful and mysterious note of Beethoven's Allegretto. His dance fascinates and seduces, as impressive as a prayer song.

Near life experience is a quest into different states of the body, states which relate to intermediary sensations. It is an attempt to remove oneself from space and time. A sort of eclipse of the self, a quest through this imaginary amnios – a new expression in the space left by the body. (Angelin Preljocaj)

Premiere 4 December 2023, Zagreb, Zagrebački Plesni Centar
There is probably no other view like that of the sea that can come close to explaining the difficult concept of eternity. Looking at its quite endless blue surface, we can understand how impermanent we are, how small and limited, like the proverbial drops in an ocean. The sea is a place of wonder, of dreams and promise, of an overwhelming charm that conveys a great serenity. It hypnotises us, absorbs us and can fill us with spiritual wonder.
Watching the flow of a dancer's movement, we sometimes find that natural, uninterrupted motion of sea surfaces. And two people dancing always go through different moods, contrasting emotions, proximity and distance.
A GIG

Music Atom Tm, Son Lux
Costume production Nuvia Valestri
Dancers Estelle Bovay and Leonardo Farina
Duration 6’
Premiere 4 November 2023, Reggio Emilia, Festival Aperto, Teatro Municipale Romolo Valli
A "gig" is an opening or closing performance. Something short that is used to warm up the audience or to say "good night" to whoever has come to see us. In this new MicroDanza I would like to see the two dancers touch the audience's gaze, as if it were a small surprise in a framework where a performance was unexpected, a small "gig". (Diego Tortelli)
