Co-production Biennale de la danse de Lyon 2010 / Théâtre de la Ville de Paris / Centre Chorégraphique national de Rillieux-la-Pape – Cie Maguy Marin
Following the triumph of the acclaimed May B, Maguy Marin returns to Torino with a surprising, visionary pièce, the expression of a choreographer who applies great ethical commitment to her work, at times it may shock, but it is required for what it presents and asserts. In works, like her recent Turba or Description d’un combat, poetry revives the present which is perceived as a spread of ruins, blackened by the great collective catastrophes of the twentieth century. Salves is a statement about the urgency of recording the need for a global sea-change, about the need to take hold of one’s destiny and build the future with a sense of awareness, rebelling against policy choices that overwhelm human beings and their values. Salves is decidedly a political work conveyed with very quick moving scenes and celebrated by an extraordinary finale: a battle around an immense, fully laid table throwing sauces and paint.
BARTÓK / MIKROKOSMOS
Fonderie Limone Moncalieri 16 November 2011 | 8:30 pm
choreography Anne Teresa De Keersmaeker
danced by Rosas
music Béla Bartók, Györgi Ligeti
Compagnie Rosas
The first of two events with the Compagnie Rosas, Bartók / Mikrokosmos is one of the dazzling series of works that have revealed Anne Teresa De Keersmaeker’s choreographic language. Many first works from young artists who subsequently become great masters already contain the conceptual, semantic and thematic core elements that are later hallmarks of their more mature artistic world. We discover this in Bartók / Mikrokosmos, which forcefully communicates the pleasure of dancing and playing music together, as Anne Teresa De Keersmaeker glosses: “ It has often been the music that has driven me to create: Reich, Bartók and Monteverdi, according to the vantage points offered, or rather given by the music, which with its self-contained structure enables one to keep within the work one is developing and also stand away from it…”
CESENA
Fonderie Limone Moncalieri 18 – 19 November 2011 | 8:30 pm – Italian première
creation Anne Teresa De Keersmaeker, Björn Schmelzer
Created with and danced by Rosas and Graindelavoix
Co-production Compagnie Rosas, La Monnaie / De Munt (Bruxelles) / Festival d’Avignon / Théâtre de la Ville (Parigi) / Grand Théâtre de Luxembourg / Festival Oude Muziek Utrecht / Guimarães 2012 / Steirischer Herbst (Graz) / deSingel (Anversa) / Concertgebouw Brugg
This new Rosas creation was programmed for its world première at the Avignon Festival in July 2011, and it is the first time after Pina Bausch that dance is being hosted in the magical space of the Palace of the Popes, truly a consecration for the talent and creativity of Anne Teresa De Keersmaeker. Impeccable structural order, limpid terseness of gestures, musicality of bodies in the pure state, all this could describe her creative power. The second Torinodanza date with Rosas is a new production in which the company continues along the path first started with En Attendant with Björn Schmelzer and his ensemble Graindelavoix, an artistic collective that experiments with possible connections between music and performance. Roles are exchanged and interwoven with never-ending virtuosity: the dancers sing, the musicians dance, an ideal interaction centred around the Ars subtilior, the music style of the French XIVth century with its great rythmic and execution complexity.
LA PRINCESSE DE MILAN – 2011 Edition
Teatro Carignano 2 – 3 – 4 December 2011 | 8:30 pm – Italian première
creation, choreography, mise en scène Karine Saporta
A choreographic piece inspired by William Shakespeare’s The Tempest
music Michael Nyman
production Compagnie Karine Saporta
A production of the Centre Chorégraphique National de Caen/Basse-Normandie and the Comédie de Caen-Centre Dramatique National de Normandie
Co-production with Théâtre de la Ville / Octobre en Normandie / Festival RomaEuropa / La Coursive Scène Nationale la Rochelle / Théâtre des Arts de Rouen / Scène Nationale de Cherbourg
This show’s creation in 1991, performed by dancers, singers and actors, was undoubtedly an event: La Princesse de Milan marries one of Shakespeare’s most grandiose and esoteric texts with the talent of Karine Saporta and the world renowned musician Michael Nyman. Sumptuous stage sets, echoes of the Renaissance, the melancholy and enchantment expressed by The Tempest have led Saporta to a perfect merger of theatre, music and visual arts, archaic and modern at once: scenes built around affected postures, rocked by unseemly convulsions – summersaults, elevations, flights, eddies of fabrics, palpitations and whirlpools.
