The CCN/Aterballetto presents a striking triptych featuring Solo Echo by Crystal Pite, Rhapsody in Blue by Iratxe Ansa & Igor Bacovich, and Glory Hall by Diego Tortelli – a performance that highlights the dancers’ versatility and the richness of its repertoire.

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, the piece evokes winter, music, and the moving body to express something essential about acceptance and loss.

RHAPSODY IN BLUE – Iratxe Ansa & Igor Bacovich
"Gershwin’s Rhapsody in Blue has many compelling aspects for us—it’s a magnificent piece of music, well-known yet not widely listened to by younger generations. Introducing this work to new audiences is a great goal, and through this piece, we hope to offer a perspective on Gershwin that feels less distant, less ‘American,’ and more universal. Inevitably, the rhapsody shapes the choreography—the lively, sparkling shifts provide a fantastic playground for movement."
— Iratxe Ansa & Igor Bacovich

GLORY HALL – Diego Tortelli
Glory Hall by Diego Tortelli is a sensorial and rebellious journey in an in-between space, suspended between light and darkness. In a black but never truly dark space, the choreography unfolds as an ecstatic rite where sensuality and profane spirituality intertwine, creating a continuous interplay of pleasure, virtuosity, and the pursuit of a personal version of glory.
