Aterballetto opens the Basque festival dFERIA with a programme of three choreographies in which the whole company of 16 dancers is involved.
The evening starts with Yeled by Eyal Dadon, followed by Shoot Me by Diego Tortelli, and closes with Rhapsody in Blue, the new creation by Iratxe Ansa and Igor Bacovich.

YELED, Hebrew for ‘child’, brings to the stage the reflection that Israeli choreographer Eyal Dadon, along with the dancers of Aterballetto, has explored on the moment in life when one loses the innocence of childhood.

Diego Tortelli's "SHOOT ME" is a frontal work that aims to establish a direct exchange between the dancers on stage and the audience in the stalls: a game of seduction, glances, sweat, an assault on the senses, and an ode to the body, breathing the same air, sweat, tears, fury, pride.

"Rhapsody in Blue by George Gershwin has several appealing aspects for us; it is a beautiful piece of music, well-known but not widely listened to by the younger generations. Introducing this work to the youth is a good objective, and it can be a way to provide 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
