LOOKING TO THE HORIZON, TO SEE THE FUTURENOMADIANNI DI FRONTIERA

Performing artists are travellers. Mobility is as intrinsic to their work as it is inescapable, and it’s been so since the dawn of time. But travelling is a necessity common

to all human beings. It’s the search for a possible “elsewhere”. Today, after many months of confinement and isolation, travelling has taken an even more essential meaning. It’s not just a question of finally being able to leave the enclosed world we felt imprisoned in, but simply of going “beyond” our own limited human nature, made more pressing by the pandemic. While confined, our need to meet others, to discover new horizons, was heightened. Like artists, we now feel an urgent need to wander, to be carried away to different places. Hence, the idea of a programme influenced by artists who refuse to be pigeonholed within a specific niche but love to explore, transmit, interact osmotically with their surroundings, give and receive knowledge. They’re artists eager to engage, speak out and recover the instinctiveness of contact with the world around them, all features peculiar to the art of dancing. As emphasised by Michela Lucenti, once again hosted at the

Festival with a project for her Balletto Civile (FIGLI DI UN DIO UBRIACO. Incursioni fisiche sui madrigali di Claudio Monteverdi) and a place-

specific work on Trentino with local amateur performers (20 DI/VERSI. Madrigali contemporanei), the question today is no longer

the Hamletic “to be or not to be” but rather “to be with the other

or against the other”, to rediscover the sense of community in this

journey: no community can be formed without proximity, without

listening to others.

A powerful community, driven by visceral instincts and contagious

movements, is the protagonist of the opening show called Political Mother Unplugged by Israeli Hofesh Shechter, for his Shechter II, and

his first time at Oriente Occidente. A journey into seismic rebellion by

a group of young people through digital images and high decibel

music.

Always on the edge of public denunciation, in search of relational

and social truths, Maguy Marin is back at Oriente Occidente

with her seminal work Umwelt, a tourbillon of appearances and

disappearances on the defeat of our world, overwhelmed by

consumerism and the exhausting pursuit of a nameless something.

Bordering on the surreal is the “nomadic” poetics of Peeping Tom. In the diptych The Missing Door and The Lost Room, premiering in

Rovereto, extravagant souls, lost in time and space, spasmodically

search for one another in a Freudian house of the mind.

The theme of exile, of the moral condition of those who feel

estranged from the world in which they live, is the focus of Elegìa delle cose perdute, a composite multimedia project by Zerogrammi conceived during the company’s residency in uncontaminated parts

of Sardinia, whose characteristic landscape becomes the setting for

the film associated with the performance.

The protagonists of The Fifth Winter, Pep Ramis and María Muñoz,

aka Mal Pelo, back after last year’s success at the Festival, await

the passing of the fifth winter. Their mental pilgrimage is musically

scored by the preludes and fugues of Bach’s Well-tempered Clavier, featuring a solo performed by Federica Porello, in which the German

composer’s energy-sapping variations and the counterpoint voices

work up to a state of physical exhaustion.

The art-and-life couple Wang-Ramirez are global and peregrine,

in terms of their roots and cultures. She’s German-Korean, he’s French-

Spanish. Together they present their brand new YouMe and broaden

their geographical horizons even further by bringing on stage a Greek

hip hop dancer, a flamenco dancer and a French cellist to build a

face-to-face dialogue made of movement and music, stories and

experiences.

On the contrary, Daniele Ninarello – associate artist over the last year

at Oriente Occidente – uses his body to protest in NOBODY NOBODY NOBODY. It’s ok not to be ok, a site-specific installation for the Mart,

but also a one-man-show solo in which he gives voice and form to

the process of self-consciousness that the physical constraints of the

pandemic have overbearingly brought to the surface. A similar “cry”,

this time by a denied generation, breaks out from Carlo Massari’s Right, a reinterpretation of Stravinsky’s Rite of Spring, a female

creation for the Florentine company Opus Ballet. Pablo Girolami, an

emerging author on the European scene, welcomed by the CID to

a residency programme for his new creation Manbuhsona, travels

in search of the origin of his personal instincts, beginning with the

observation of courtship in birds.

Choros is a ceremony with a flavour of bygone days, in which the

path of the individual touches on the collective. Il luogo dove si danza (Where people dance), is a place-specific project by

Alessio Maria Romano for the Campana dei Caduti Memorial

Bell in Rovereto, performed at the crack of dawn. A profound and

respectful encounter with the other around the monument that

celebrates peace in remembering all the war dead. Loredana Parrella’s Juliette on the Road presents a voyage in search of love, a

performance freely based on Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet that

unfolds through the streets of Rovereto. The four-year-long European

project Europe Beyond Access, of which Oriente Occidente is a

partner and sponsor, aims to break down barriers and break out

of isolation. The project’s finale presents four duets: Feeling Good

by Diego Tortelli, Cornered, by the young choreographer Faizah

Grootens, Re-call by Venetsiana Kalampaliki and Fine lines by Roser

López Espinosa.

The circus is a nomad-born acrobatic and aerial architecture. The

Moroccan collective Cie Colokolo bears witness to this with their

tentacular and global contemporary take, centred in Casablanca

and grouping artists trained in the finest Korean- and Hungarian-style

teeterboard acts, juggling, parkour and hip hop showcased in Chouf le ciel! also to the accompaniment of traditional Arab songs, a show

that promises to conquer the sky like the aerial evolutions of the

French À Fleur d’Airs.

DESATTRACTION1.62LA DIAGONALE DES ANGES

What could be more beautiful than soaring through the air? Never before has the need to conquer the skies been so intensely felt as in these times of confinement

and deprivation of freedom. An endeavour that Séverine Bennevault Caton, with her French aerial dance company À Fleur d’Airs, has made a success out of and transformed into an artform. She conceived the solo piece Desattraction1.62 precisely as a response to the pandemic, in her own word «a breath of fresh air, a feeling of elation, breathing deeply and sharing positive vibes». A weightless journey in the company of David Bowie, Radiohead but also Claude Debussy. The title refers to the weight on the moon, where gravity is equal to 1.62m/s2, and gravity and her weight on earth, which Séverine wants spectators to forget she has. After all, aerial dance is a form of “augmented” reality, an acrobatic discipline whose mission is to overcome boundaries and constraints, consistently transformed into opportunities. The same opportunities that a happy artistic partnership can bring with it. Which is the case of Séverine Bennevault Caton and Serge Ambert. A well-known and eclectic dancer for Andy Degroat, François Raffinot, Francine Lancelot and Jean-Claude Gallotta, then, since 2004, choreographer for his own company Les alentours rêveurs, Serge Ambert is the interpreter and co-author with Séverine Bennevault Caton of La Diagonale des Anges, the second piece presented at the Festival. A duet in which they also perform, where sky and earth, seek a point of encounter and balance. The two performers depart from the plot line on a path of spontaneity and improvisation, inspired by the specific setting and location in which the piece is staged. An unprecedented encounter of two different forms of gesture and choreography, usually far apart but which joyfully come together here in a spirit of dialogue.

HOFESH SHECHTERHOFESH SHECHTER COMPANY – SHECHTER IIUNITED KINGDOM

POLITICAL MOTHER UNPLUGGED

It was his first full evening work. A revelation. In 2010, Political Mother exploded onto the stage, announcing to the world there was a new choreographer in town,

Hofesh Shechter. Israeli born choreographer, musician and composer, Shechter moved to the UK and founded his company in 2008, bringing together his passion for music and movement and creating an instinctual energy capable of pervading body and space and engaging the senses. Considered an audio-visual marvel, he was catapulted into the upper echelons of the world of choreography: he earned the position of associate artist at the prestigious Sadler’s Wells in London and has since been invited to create works with leading opera and dance companies to include the Nederlands Dans Theater I, the Ballet de l’Opéra de Paris, and Teatro alla Scala in Milan for a choreographed production of Gluck’s Orpheus and Eurydice. Without ever stopping to create and develop projects for his company, he has even established a youth arm of his dance company called Shechter II, biannual programme for the next generation of emerging artists – aged 18 to 25 – selected from over 1000 dancers from across the world. For them he not only creates new works but also re-imagines his repertoire. Two times winner of the Prix de la Critique, in 2015 for Disappearing Act and in 2018 for Show, Shechter II returns – after a year on hold due to the pandemic – with the 10th anniversary celebrations, which actually fell in 2020: POLITICAL MOTHER UNPLUGGED, a new version of Shechter’s blockbuster creation for these exceptional world-class dancers. A concentrate of Shechter’s dance universe, made up of ground-shaking movements, breathtaking unisons, arms raised above the head in twisting motions, groups fast moving and crawling to pounding percussions and high decibels. Its theme? Totalitarianism and ideological violence, both more topical than ever, for a mind-blowing visual and acoustic journey through colliding worlds.

ALESSIO MARIAROMANOITALY

CHORÒS. IL LUOGO DOVE SI DANZA

Alessio Maria Romano reveals that in the “theatre of movement” he has found a “discipline and an additional expressiveness to the understanding of

the instances of the body”. As a peculiar and prominent figure on the Italian theatre scene, Romano remains a bridge between the arts of theatre and dance. Besides training as an actor at the prestigious acting school of Turin’s Teatro Stabile, he also graduates in Laban/Bartenieff movement analysis in New York and Brighton. He studies with Raffaella Giordano, Maria Consagra, Carolyn Carlson, Dominque Dupuy. Influenced by American postmodern dance, he employs natural movement and the dynamics of exchange and participation with his performers as a means of talking about the world. Through his collaboration in the choreographies for the theatrical works of Luca Ronconi, Carmelo Rifici, Valter Malosti and Jacopo Gasmann and coordination of the acting school “Luca Ronconi” of the Piccolo Teatro in Milan, Romano has investigated the human body as it moves organically, rhythmically and dynamically through space, respecting its anatomical and relational freedom. Among his recognitions, he has been awarded the Critics’ Prize for theatre choreography in 2015 and the Silver Lion at the Biennale Teatro 2020 Theatre Festival, where he also presented his latest creation Bye Bye for his self-named company. Oriente Occidente has commissioned him an original performance for non-professional dancers and dance students participating in art residency projects, which resulted in the creation of Choròs. Il luogo dove si danza, an original project set at the Campana dei Caduti, in Rovereto, at the first lights of dawn, in front of and around this memorial to the fallen of all wars, celebrating peace. In the author’s words, the performance features an «instinctive and ancient ceremony, in which fragments of images, splinters of the collective unconscious, follow after each another. In which singularities blend into the collective while at the same time rebelling against it and its rules». Romano builds on simple everyday actions, such as walking, creating a score of repetitive ritualistic movements. Men and women are transformed into a mass, a herd, a flock and finally a chorus, witnesses to events that speak and communicate with the body in the Choròs (the dance stage in ancient Greek theatre).

DANIELE NINARELLOITALY

NOBODY NOBODY NOBODY. IT’S OK NOT TO BE OK

With the subtitle Appunti, celebrazione e proteste di un corpo vulnerabile, Daniele Ninarello, in his last year as “associate artist” at Oriente Occidente, presents

a rather complex three-in-one performance and teaching project called NOBODY NOBODY NOBODY. It’s ok not to be ok, which encompasses a solo performance by himself, a site-specific installation for the Mart exhibition spaces and a collective workshop with local teenagers in the Oriente Occidente studio space.A unique dancer in building movements that come from within, with singular and astonishing qualities of control and speed, Ninarello makes a comeback to the stage alone, after many years, for a series of actions or rather “protests”, as he calls them, engendered by his solitary and meditative practices during the pandemic. «I spent the lockdown period alone in my house in Turin,» he says, «in a condition of bodily constriction, feeling trapped, bullied, offended, with feelings from the past forcefully resurfacing even transforming my way of composing dance, internalised through years of practice. My body no longer presented the usual known mechanisms of phrasing or articulation, but “spoke”, created a discourse. Movement and postures liberated my voice». A voice that spectators will be hearing in the performance, conveyed through his body, as in the singing and live music he plays on his electric guitar, and which the visitors to the Mart Museum will perceive in the morning’s installation, sharing in a vulnerable nature no longer private to the gaze. Through this site-specific work the author wishes to open up a gap within the fragility of the spectators to enable them to all resonate together. «Only thus», he explains, «can we enact a true protest, in the process of self-consciousness liberated within a common space». The protest that emerges also from the teenagers involved in this artistic practice and the raising of cultural and political questions about the body and what it can represent, in relation to how we can learn to manage it and “offer it up”, so to speak, through social media for example. Thus, the body becomes the symbol of a space in which to address the thought of caring, through notes, celebrations and – of course – protests.

CHIARABERSANIDANSKOMPANIET SPINNITALY - SWEDEN

MOBY DICK

Moby Dick is Chiara Bersani’s new creation for Swedish integrated dance company Spinn, directed by Veera Suvalo Grimberg. The independent artist from

Lodi, choreographer, dramatist and well-known collaborator and performer of Alessandro Sciarroni and Marco D’Agostin, following up on the success of her last solo piece, Gentle Unicorn, in which she forcefully reiterates – between expectations and suspensions – that “the body can no longer escape its political essence, when it engages with society imposing its form on the world and receiving meanings, interpretations and expectations in response”, has been commissioned to prepare this new work, Moby Dick, for four dancers with and without disabilities from Danskompaniet Spinn. Suffering herself from brittle bone disease, Chiara Bersani has been obliged several times to suspend the project she began in 2018, due to the pandemic. After the cancellation of artist residency programmes, which fostered mutual acquaintance and the opportunity to work on site, the creation came up against a number of problems caused by distance, although she did manage a short residency stint in Rovereto before the debut at the Festival. This sparked a further reflection by the choreographer on the difficulty of living with disability during the pandemic. So, her Moby Dick is not the white whale deeply entrenched in our imaginations, a distant creature of the abyss, but something impossible to visualise with the naked eye, an entity that envelops us because “we are inside her – the artist says – and she is inside us... just like a virus”. While Herman Melville’s nineteenth-century novel inspires a reflection on waiting, on staying, on not knowing how to act, Bersani’s free reinterpretation through the bodies and movements of the four Swedish dancers highlights a sense of bewilderment, the bewilderment that generates the mist that suddenly rises up from the sea. In a speechless landscape the dancers live through a deafening silence and wait, perhaps, for something new to happen; a spark that can ignite the body’s rhythm through an explosion followed by peace. “I don’t think this place-creature is dangerous – Bersani writes in the notes that accompany the work – I don’t think it really frightens my onstage partner creatures, but it is so terribly unknown that it does stir something deep inside them, something that comes long before fear. What is there before fear? I don’t know. There’s only one thing I know for sure: Moby Dick is sound. And we are the people who try to live in the noise”.

MICHELA LUCENTIBALLETTO CIVILEITALY

20 DI/VERSI. MADRIGALI CONTEMPORANEI

FIGLI DI UN DIO UBRIACO. Incursioni fisiche sui Madrigali di Claudio Monteverdi (Children of a drunk god) is not only a performance by Balletto Civile. It is the title

of a composite project consisting of three different stages that Michela Lucenti and her group intend to realise, between 2021 and 2022, linked to the theme of contemporary madrigals, a sort of poetry slam with dancing. Besides the performance presented at the Melotti Auditorium for the Oriente Occidente Festival, with volunteers from the region of Trentino, 20 DI/VERSI. Madrigali Contemporanei is a performance-cum-exhibition hosted at the Sala Kennedy venue during the Festival, in which 20 “witnesses” – so to speak – present 20 biographies, 20 physical actions accompanied by original madrigals composed from their stories. The third and last stage, planned for 2022, will be a feature film directed by Katia Bernardi and inspired by the project, based on the documentation relating to the previous events, but with an independent poetic identity, of which a preview will be proposed at the Festival.20 DI/VERSI. Madrigali Contemporanei was created with ordinary people, twenty people drawn from different backgrounds, willing to tell their stories and get involved. An investigation oscillating between civil society and poetic act, as the title reminds us, referring both to the verses of the ancient lyric/musical composition and the uniqueness of individuals, who “differ” for gender, age, occupation, experiences, witnesses to their life experiences and to the communities in which they live. «Balletto Civile has consistently and extensively adopted this “community-based” scope since its foundation,» Lucenti explains, «which is the reason why – this time – we wanted to overturn this perspective. From the micro to the macro, like looking into a funnel from the other way round, broadening the horizon from the experiences of individuals to the story of the community as a whole. Fifty people replied to our call, all of them extremely interesting individuals. Of course, we couldn’t involve them all! So, we selected twenty». Following this selection, we began a long period of listening, with interviews aimed at composing personalised madrigals by Balletto Civile, which were then read – and recorded – by people close to each individual performer and constitute the soundtrack of the physical movements designed by the choreographer for each one of them, performed under their own blow-up during the exhibition. A way of underscoring the fact that «I am my madrigal».

COLOKOLOCIE COLOKOLOFRANCE - MOROCCO

CHOUF LE CIEL!

One of the first contemporary circus collective in Morocco, Colokolo was created in 2013, in Casablanca, by artists from different backgrounds

and urban dance performers. Residing in the Fabrique Culturelle des Anciens Abattoirs, the former slaughterhouse of Casablanca turned Cultural Factory, epicentre of the city’s cultural and artistic avant-garde, the collective, whose members trained at the Ecole Nationale de Cirque Shems’y in Salé, has become a hub of excellence for the circus arts in the North African country. While performing in their first shows, which introduced a “narrative” circus style, several members of Colokolo also specialised in aerial acrobatics with world-famous European groups, such as Bascule and Contrebande, as well as the Cie Flip and Fly from the famous Rotterdam School. This is reflected in their haute voltage show, a heart-stopping high-flying act called Chouf le ciel! (Look to the Sky! Or Take a look to the sky!), with its Italian premiere at the Festival. An electrifying mix of acrobatics, juggling, hip hop to traditional music. The jaw-dropping technique and euphoria of Korean and Hungarian-style plank jumping are matched at ground level, where dancing and sounds from the Gnawa and Chaâbi traditions (a Maghrebi blend of rural and urban music) combine with cutting-edge electro and the wildest rap.Look to the Sky are six men, five pairs of trousers and a dress; folk songs, a bride-less Moroccan wedding, a hamalate (a woman carrying merchandise to the Moroccan-Spanish border) and lots of flights at dizzying heights of up to nine metres, hovering on the impossible.

GABRIELA CARRIZO & FRANCK CHARTIERPEEPING TOMBELGIUM

DIPTYCH:THE MISSING DOOR & THE LOST ROOM

One of a kind. No other expression can so aptly describe the artist couple Gabriela Carrizo and Frank Chartier, aka Peeping Tom. She hails from Argentina,

he’s French, and they met when they were both militantly engaged performers in Alain Platel’s Ballets C. de la B. They eventually founded a company together, in Belgium, with the curious moniker Peeping Tom, which has already passed the twenty-year mark and influenced an entire genre with its unconventional language, defined through powerful physical narrative as an amazing blend of dance, theatre, acrobatics, cinematographic references and black humour. The Diptych, which will have its Italian premiere at Oriente Occidente, is a remake of two pre-existing and successful short pieces: The Missing Door and The Lost Room, created for the Nederlands Dans Theater I, respectively by Carrizo in 2013 and by Chartier in 2015. For the first time, the choreographers will be presenting a completely renewed ensemble for this performance, co-produced by the Festival together with major world institutions. The leitmotifs of both pieces are time, memory and premonition. In fact, the protagonists act out their own fiction. They’re extravagant, souls lost in time and space, driven by their innermost desires and often in spasmodic search of each other. The staging is a mixture of illusions and lost loves, a wandering path through the mind, the projections of which are effectively distortions of reality, all wrapped up in an oppressive atmosphere, with overtones of black humour in which primordial fears resurface. The set design – as is always the case with Peeping Tom – is fundamental to the dramatic rendering of the works and underpins the illusory nature of the characters’ lives, with its surreal doors and rooms. A fresco of everyone’s unconscious desires and utopias that pays tribute to the enigmatic and seductive cinematic style of David Lynch.

STEFANO MAZZOTTAZEROGRAMMIITALY

ELEGÌA DELLE COSE PERDUTE

Zerogrammi, a Turin-based company founded by choreographer Stefano Mazzotta in 2005, has created twenty-seven productions to date. Over time it has

become an extended family of playwrights, authors from various disciplines and performers involved, by their guide, in creative actions often based on literary or philosophical motifs, arising from their residency experiences in some singular places around Italy. Intense, sharp, often irony studded, Zerogrammi’s productions are a journey through memory, into the suggestions stored by bodies shaped to perform “narrative” gestures, to a danced and dancing tale that expands into space. Their latest composite multimedia project Elegìa delle cose perdute (Elegy to lost things), featuring a medium-length film, photograph exhibition and dance piece, is faithful to this model. Oriente Occidente Dance Festival will host the film at two different times, with the attendance of the authors and the site-specific performance of six dancers in the Mart’s Sculpture Garden.Inspired by I Poveri (The Poor), a bitter and raw novel by the Portuguese author Raul Brandão, peopled by outcasts grappling with unresolved existential problems, the project by Stefano Mazzotta and his group explores the theme of exile, the moral condition of individuals who feel estranged from the world in which they live, suspended between hope and nostalgia. During its gestation, the work was nourished by the performers’ assimilation into a picturesque village, Settimo S. Pietro, in the province of Cagliari, where the company – during a stint in a residency programme - created both the performance and the film, the latter in collaboration with director Massimo Gasole. In the medium-length film, seven marginal and awkward figures, united by the same melancholic and nostalgic feelings, build up a desire for redemption. As they wander across the fascinating landscape of southern Sardinia, known as Campidano, on its endless white beaches and dunes, among the characteristic old houses, the natural spaces echo their souls, while distance and suspension establish a strained succession of images. Emptiness, vertigo, horizon. Things lost or which never were. The same tension runs through the choreography: a multiplicity of vectors and directions, abandonments and suspensions to the yearning notes of Dmitri Shostakovich’s Sad Waltz.

HONJI WANG & SÉBASTIEN RAMIREZWANG RAMIREZFRANCE

YOUME. YOU ARE YOU AND ME I’M ME

Honji is German-Korean, Sébastien French-Spanish. Together they operate the Wang Ramirez company inspired by experimental hip hop, martial arts and

contemporary dance. Choreographers and performers of hybrid works, Honji Wang and Sébastien Ramirez play on the theme of the cultural melting pot and on their involvement as a couple, in their art and their life. This emerges in their stage successes since their debut in 2010: AP15, followed by Monchichi and Dystopian Dream in 2017. Their growing success has allowed the pair to broaden their horizons, work with new collaborators and performers, and accept commissions, leading to Everyness in 2016, a piece for four dancers, besides Honji, and the more recent Au revoir, a work created for the Danskompani of the Gothenburg Opera.Their new project YouMe. You are you and me I’m me is the result, in part, of a “virtual” residency in Rovereto, and doesn’t feature them on the stage. In this case, they direct a choreographic-musical encounter of three women from different backgrounds, in terms of their training and origins: the Spanish flamenco dancer Sara Jimenez, the Greek Kalliopi Tarasidou, a star of popping (one of the styles of hip hop) and the French cellist Elsa Guiet. The idea? To establish a face-to-face dialogue of movement and music, between feisty, warlike and complicit female figures. With the cello, symbol of the extension of the body, invited to share the stage with the dancers, in an attempt to transform space, time and sound into a single poetic story. A natural evolution to the successful Felahikum, which, six years ago, in 2015, immortalised on stage the intercultural dialogue between Honji Wang and contemporary flamenco star Rocío Molina. Charismatic and intense, Honji and Rocío, on the stage, told us what they had in common and what separated them. Now it’s the turn of the other three to get involved.

Associated Artist at Oriente Occidente for two years, in 2021 and 2022, Carlo Diego Massari, born in Bologna in 1984, has studied and worked internationally and is undoubtedly one

of the most determined authors of the latest generation to want to tell the story of contemporary society with daring concreteness and imaginative interpretations. At the head of his C&C Company, the acronym of Corpo & Cultura, Body & Culture, since 2011, Massari has devoted himself to a biting and sarcastic “dance theatre”, replete with cross-cultural references. He likes to define his poetics as “amphibious”, capable of thriving in different environmental conditions. His performers use dance, words and songs to dialogue with the scenery, lights and music: everything is an integrated whole in his works with no frames or accompaniments. Over the last three years, Massari has been attracted by an inquiry into human bestiality, which led to his successful works Beast without Beauty, a crushing duet on the desire for power and oppression, and Les Misérables, a ruthless quartet in carrot-coloured wigs on the mediocrity surrounding us. He has now chosen to work on Stravinsky’s The Rite of Spring to narrate a present in which moral rightness often falters. Right, a title that reflects both the multiple meanings of the word in English (straight, just, good, right hand) and, by similarity of pronunciation, the “Rite” of the Russian composer’s famous ballet, which this year marks the fiftieth anniversary of his death. Just like in Nijinsky-Stravinsky’s 1913 Rite of Spring, the centre-piece of which was the propitiatory sacrifice of a virgin, in Right Massari investigates the contemporary propensity for sacrifice and the right to decide for others, which some, instead, claim for themselves. On the stage there are only girls representing not sacrificial victims but an entire denied generation, a denouncement of the exponential increase in cases of domestic violence against women during the pandemic. The choreographer throws himself fully into the piece and envisages a ruthless “carnage”. The performers do their utmost to make themselves necessary in order to survive, urged on by Stravinsky’s rhythmic paroxysm, wisely analysed from the inside in both its score and original structure. «I try to establish a dialogue with Stravinsky’s score and its many subtexts,» Massari comments. «Although Right features the entire orchestral composition, the various compositional blocks will be interspersed with certain events, which I don’t want to reveal to you just yet». What is certain is that Massari certainly took his time in tackling this repertoire masterpiece and “reasoning” on bestiality, working for months with the performers to create Right “with” and not only “for” them.

PEP RAMIS & MARÍA MUÑOZ MAL PELOSPAIN

THE FIFTH WINTERBACH

The relationship between two people in a white space, waiting for the last winter to pass. In the heart of The Fifth Winter, the profoundly “dense” bodies of Maria Muñoz and Pep Ramis

construct their own geography of waiting, crossed by the breath of the words of the Neapolitan poet Erri de Luca, who freely inspired the texts of the performance. One of the songs reads: «A cold wind, like the one you come from/that tingles on your face. Thousands of stars. They seem to try creating a line, chasing each other to form this line/ And you, who are you?». After last year’s success at the Festival with the solo piece The Mountain, the Truth & the Paradise, Pep Ramis now returns with this duet, performed with María Muñoz, his partner of over thirty years, with whom he founded the Mal Pelo dance company to complete a research into movement, which always features original texts and soundtracks. In a continuous eclipsis of the scars of life, which – for Pep and María – is permeated with failure, like a vital body fluid, their poetics revolves around three key words: absence, hope, loss. Created in 2015 for the Biennale de la Val de Marne and then hosted on tour in Europe and Canada, but never presented in Italy, The Fifth Winter envelops two bodies in a meditative and rarefied atmosphere, aided by the acting (with voice off) and the spatial rendering of sound. In a time that seems not to flow, María and Pep implement a series of waiting strategies, like a ritual vigil to commemorate something that is never revealed to us, with a background composition by Fanny Thollot punctuated by the voices of the Tunisian Alia Sellami and the flamenco singing of Niño de Elche.Linked to pure movement and joyful dialogue with music is the other Mal Pelo title hosted at the Festival this year: Bach. A blockbuster solo created by María Muñoz in 2005, and originally performed by her, on selected preludes and fugues from Johann Sebastian Bach’s The Well-Tempered Clavier, in the recorded performance by the great Canadian pianist Glenn Gould, with his unique style. On stage the intense Italian dancer Federica Porello, a long-time collaborator of Mal Pelo, who inherited the piece from the choreographer in 2016. In, out, on and with the music, the solo follows Bach’s gruelling variations, the voices in the counterpoint enhanced by Gould, the expressiveness of the timbre, the performer’s hallmark snappy touch. A challenge with two giants of music conducted to the point of exhaustion. Won, in silence, by an obstinate dance.

MICHELA LUCENTIBALLETTO CIVILEITALY

FIGLI DI UN DIO UBRIACO. INCURSIONI FISICHE SUI MADRIGALI DI CLAUDIO MONTEVERDI

Aproject commissioned by Teatro Ponchielli of Cremona and the Festival of Montepulciano, framed around the work of composer Claudio Monteverdi, FIGLI DI

UN DIO UBRIACO. Incursioni fisiche sui Madrigali di Claudio Monteverdi is the new choreographic-musical venture of Michela Lucenti for her dance company Balletto Civile. With the live accompaniment of the Cremona Antiqua Orchestra conducted by Maestro Antonio Greco and of two opera singers, this creation is a contemporary reinterpretation of various Baroque topoi, combined with the performance of eight madrigals from Monteverdi’s endless production and of other musical works of the same composer and of contemporary authors such as Barbara Strozzi, interspersed with a contemporary sound design. «Fascinated by the studies of Tomaso Montanari, one of the top experts on the Baroque,» Michela Lucenti explains, «we discovered how central the condition of the body and of sensuality were in that period of history. Montanari speaks specifically of “the sensuality of desperate lives”, of the continuous transformation of bodies, citing Bernini’s Daphne as an example, ambiguous and in the process of metamorphosis. A perfect link to Balletto Civile’s poetics, centred on fragility and life on the edge, which we have used to design this epic of everyday life peopled by anti-heroes. Shaping the pastoral, warrior and love themes of Monteverdi’s madrigals to suit our needs, to build a discourse that is consistent with our style and our human “bandwagon”. The “basso continuo” of human resistance combines with the sounds of a drunken everyday life, producing images that expand outwardly and magnify our emotions». Twelve performers on stage, including a little girl and even Lucenti’s seventy-six-year-old father, actors, performers and dancers, a blow-up of a cross-section of humanity. A performance that lasts almost two hours and showcases, as in the composer’s life, reflections on today and on the identity that work gives to man. P

LOREDANA PARRELLATWAIN PHYSICAL DANCE THEATREITALY

JULIETTE ON THE ROAD

T wain physical dance theatre was established in 2006 as a professional training project and dance company. Over the years it has grown into a Regional

Dance Production Centre in Lazio and a National Artistic Residency Centre, and under the strong guidance of Loredana Parrella it has always found new life. The founder’s artistic vision focuses on plurality, exchange and the invitation to create opportunities for multiform choreographers also among the new generations. In addition to works by Parrella herself and Loris Petrillo, the Twain physical dance theatre company interprets and supports works by under-35 choreographers, such as Yoris Petrillo, Aleksandros Memetaj, Collettivo SA.NI./Nicola Cisternino-Sara Sguotti, Jessica De Masi, Maria Stella Pitarresi, Marco Pergallini.Appearing for the first time at Oriente Occidente, they will lead the public through the streets of Rovereto in the footsteps of Juliette, in the on-the-road performance, conceived as a voyage of discovery by Loredana Parrella and freely inspired by Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet, with texts by Aleksandros Memetaj.A metaphorical journey, but not only, into the nuances of love bequeathed to us by the Bard, beginning with Juliet’s torment, when – in Act Four of the play – she awakens from the deep sleep induced by Friar Lawrence’s potion and sees her Romeo lifeless before her. Hence the inspiration for Parrella to focus, with ten young and talented performers, on Juliette’s fragility, passions and memories through the characters who have influenced her life and history: Romeo, of course, but also her nurse, Mercutio, Tybalt, Friar Lawrence, etcetera etcetera... A merry-go-round swirling around Juliette, who demands not only a central role but for the story to begin all over again, even when our Juliette would probably wish to leave everything behind her and hit the road again. So, let’s follow Juliette!

MAGUY MARINCOMPAGNIE MAGUY MARINFRANCE

UMWELT

Queen of a highly personal dance theatre, for over forty years Maguy Marin has been breaking new ground and blazing trails with her productions. From

highly formal writing to pure text, from devastating and hypnotic rhythm to Beckett-inspired storytelling, each of her pieces unfolds as an often turbulent, almost always radical universe unto itself. Maguy Marin’s is an emblematic career, beginning with the strikingly novel Nouvelle Danse Française in the 1980s down to the present day, with ever-new lifeblood. She’s back at Oriente Occidente with a historic work never before performed in Italy called Umwelt (which is German for Environment), winner of the Prix Spécial of the jury of Syndicat de la critique in 2006 and a Bessie Award in 2008. Created in 2004, Marin’s Umwelt is a world with its own rules, in which a device made of panels and mirrors highlights the lives of the nine performers. On the stage an exhausting parade of normality and the search for what’s possible aimlessly unfolds. Buoyed and undermined by an inexorable wind, the protagonists carry on for as long as they can, without really searching for any meaning to their actions. They appear and disappear through the gaps between the panels, carry things, repeat actions, come close to meeting but then vanish, witnessing the need for connection that never really leads to contact. A teeming environment spasmodically crossed by people doing often meaningless things. Undoubtedly harking back to Beckett and the theatre of the absurd after her masterpiece May B, already in Rovereto in 1981. In her work on the defeat of a world overwhelmed by consumerism, Maguy Marin projects a manifold pounding dispersive vision, set off by the pulsing music composed by Denis Mariotte, the perfect acoustic counterpart to the visual tourbillon created by the choreographer and taking place on the stage.

PABLO GIROLAMIIVONAITALY

MANBUHSONA

Manbuhsona, or large Manbuhsa. Created within the Oriente Occidente residency programme, Pablo Girolami’s piece is an evolution of his first successful

work as an independent artist, in the form of a duet.Dancer and choreographer, born in Neuchâtel with Italian-Spanish origins, Pablo Girolami graduated from the Tanz Akademie Zuerich and was a professional dancer at the Hessisches Staatsballett in Wiesbaden/Darmstadt. As a choreographer, he earned a certain renown in Italy at the latest Vetrina della giovane danza d’autore in Ravenna promoted by the Anticorpi network. This led to Lanfranco Cis’ idea of offering the artist a residency at Oriente Occidente, to develop the successful duet Manbuhsa – which went on to win the 33rd Madrid choreography competition (Certamen Coreográfico de Madrid) – into a larger work for a group of five dancers. Girolami has gathered around him four performers, plus Giacomo Todeschi, who collaborated in the creation of the duet; he has chosen not to perform on the stage but to watch the performers from the sidelines, as they embark on a journey in the discovery of the origin of our instincts, starting from the observation of animal courtship. «Watching how birds behave during courtship», he says, «during the wedding parade, the coloured plumage of the peacocks’ wheel, and the architectural beauty of their movements, greatly influenced me in designing the sequences of physical movements centred on seduction. Manbuhsa was born from there: from the imaginative human transposition of certain peculiar animal dances. Now with Manbuhsona, working with a small community, I intend to expand the play, developing the dramatic composition on two parallel planes, alongside the sensuality of instinctive courtship, I intend to investigate the ensuing social and urban conflict». Structured as two acts with intervals called Confusion/Contemplation/Revelation and Inspiration/Lightening/Discovery, Manbuhsona uses a global musical collage where traditional ethnic melodies meet clubbing and the deep seated pulses of dub music.

MIXED DOUBLES

Co-funded by the European Union’s Creative Europe programme, the four-year-long project Europe Beyond Access (2018-2021) supports artists with disabilities in breaking out of their isolation, broadening horizons and promoting their creative

development by presenting innovative performing art works to European audiences. Oriente Occidente is one of the sponsors of the project and, in collaboration with the Fondazione Nazionale della Danza/Aterballetto, of Feeling Good by Diego Tortelli, a choreographer associated with the FND; a poetic duet on the ability to “be” and to “feel”. Tortelli takes his inspiration for his compositions from aesthetic references and spatial geometries and, in this specific case, from Leonardo’s Vitruvian Man as well, to reflect on the concepts of “squaring”, return to order, perfection, sliding into the necessity of the circle as a symbol of perpetual motion and acceptance. It is no coincidence that the circle has also been chosen by the United Nations as its Accessibility Logo. Tortelli defeats canonical beauty to achieve the sublime through the flow of movement and the frailness of non-symmetry. But Feeling Good is not the only outcome of the EBA project presented at the 2021 Festival. On the same evening, three other duets created by other partners will be on show. Cornered, by the young choreographer Faizah Grootens, is produced by the Holland Dance outlining, through intense physical work, the balance between empathy and struggle achieved by two bodies trying not to betray themselves in the search for a necessary mutual understanding. Re-call, by choreographer Venetsiana Kalampaliki, produced by the Athens-based Onassis Stegi, which focuses on how the body changes in relation to time, through two portraits of women caught in the simplicity of the traces left behind by their stories. Two women are also the protagonists of the latest duet performance designed by choreographer Roser López Espinosa for the Swedish company Skånes Dansteater, in which two delicate yet powerful figures meet, allowing the boundaries of relationships to emerge as they do so: what brings us closer and what separates us? A refined poetics combined with physical prowess against the backdrop of a lively, playful and sometimes ironic universe. P
