New appointments and shows at the Castelli Romani site specific will mark the last weeks of June for the fifth edition of Landscapes of the Body – International Contemporary Dance Festival: on June 22nd, in the House of Cultures and Music of Velletri, after the presentation of the latest book by Carmela Piccione, 1960 Dance stepsthey will go on stage EgriBiancoDanza, Naturalis Labor And Art Garage; on June 30th, at the Cisternoni, the collaboration with the Municipality of Albano will continue, articulated in the double format which first provides for a tours guided tour of the ancient Roman water reserve and followed by performances by Asmed Ballet of Sardinia And Atacama Company.
The presentation of the book will be held on June 22nd, at 5.00 pm at the Casa delle Culture e della Musica in Velletri 1960 Dance steps Of Carmela Piccione, dedicated to the history of the Rome Ballet Company. In conversation with the author, the editorial project of the volume will be explored in depth, framing ballet as a historiographical hub of the history of dance in dialogue with contemporary transformations.
At 6.30pm the dancing will begin with Sonic Hopsan experiment edited by EgriBiancoDanza he was born in METS – Cuneo Conservatory. The historic Turin company offers a performance interactive dance and hop sounds, which aims to reflect on K. Kelly’s essay, The inevitable, outlining the twelve technological trends that are revolutionizing the world with an experimental and multidisciplinary approach. The avant-garde choreography makes use of the compositions of Gianluca Verlingerielaborated from audio recordings made during the beer production process, and with the help of programmed sensors that will track the dancer’s gestures, reacting in real time to the sound stimuli.
Next it will be time to Night Wolvesbrought to the Festival by Naturalis Labora group from Vicenza which, in constant research on contemporary dance, continues to accomplish numerous tours in Italy and Europe. Driven by Luciano Padovanithe artists on stage like wolves in the night aim to recall our being animals, in a frenetic and engaging performance that intends to give substance to our deepest instincts.
The last part of the Veliterno appointment will be dedicated to Art Garage in Hypatiawork directed by Laura Matano and Emma Cianchi. The Campania group, active nationally and internationally for over 15 years, presents a powerful and dynamic show that recalls the life of Hypatia of Alexandria, a woman astronomer, mathematician and philosopher, still today an emblem of freedom of thought and the fight against dogmas and to discrimination.
The dialogue between museum assets and dance will resume on June 30th at 6.00 pm at the Cisternoni of Albano, where, after the visit to the archaeological site, it will be staged Dark luminescences Of Asmed Ballet of Sardinia, the first Sardinian dance company to obtain institutional recognition. Aimed at continuous experimentation and evolution of the multiple languages of contemporary dance, Lucas Delfino Monteiro And Flavia Dule illustrate how modern life is often inscribed in concentric, orderly and safe, yet isolated circles, which do not give access, except in the form of restlessness (the dark flashes of the title), to those chaotic external interferences which can instead generate new opportunities and possibilities.
The evening will come to an end with an event in which the multidisciplinary trait that has always characterized the event will be well represented by the meeting of dance with the other arts (poetry, literature and visual arts), in the preview of the new staging of the Atacama Company, Lost Solos, co-produced by the Festival. The choreographers and directors Patrizia Cavola And Iván Truolwhich have been hosted on the most prestigious international stages since 1997, are inspired by the anomalous migratory route of some solitary birds away from their flock, to meditate on the solitude and diversity that unites the destiny of many human beings.
