The itinerary dedicated to contemporary dance continues with Ballade by MM Contemporary Dance Company, directed by Michele Merola, which presents a new show composed of two new choreographies by Mauro Bigonzetti and by Enrico Morelli.
The pieces, interpreted by the MMCDC dancers, embark on a journey between different generations: Bigonzetti's 'Ballade', to music by Nick Cave, CCCP Leonard Cohen, Prince, Nina Simone, Frank Zappa, is a full-length portrait of the 1980s, a decade that has now lost its temporal boundaries to become a symbol of an era, while Morelli's 'Elegy', to music by Frédéric Chopin and Giuseppe Villarosa, is set in and tells of our current era, a period that never before has brought vertigo and bewilderment, but also the renewed hope of a new beginning.
Through an abstract narrative, the choreography gives life to a space of memory and feeling where man rediscovers his living and vulnerable body. A journey that leads us to discover pain, love, abandonment and rebirth.
