Meetings of cultures in the mark of contemporary dance.
Rovereto and Trento
1-9 september 2006
Africa is the beating heart of one of the most important European Dance Festival, crossroads of contemporary trends for twenty-six years.
It is today's, yesterday's, and tomorrow's Africa, in which Georges Momboye entwines its ancient rythms to a great classic of the modernity, as in Stravinsky and Nijinsky's Le Sacre du Primtemps. Africa which blends hybrid cultures in Heddy Maalem and Dif Kako's performances.
Oriente Occidente starts with the worshipping Sinfonia Eroica of the Belgian Michle Anne De Mey and with La Confidence des Oiseaux, a special project of the French Luc Petton, which deals with the relationship between human and birds' dance. This work is co-produced by Arte Sella and set in its extraordinary park of art and nature. And also, the new creation of Franois Verret inspired to Melville and Orson Welles' Moby Dick: the magic circus and the Fellini-like universe of the Israeli Inbal Pinto: A'Corps' multicultural hip hop: the new creation of the Italian Simona Bucci: the Bharata Natyam of the Indian dancer Maria Kiran, who gives body and gestures to Bach's music, played by Claudio Brizi at his claviorgan.
Finally, the innovative experience of the choreographer Josette Baz. Her Compagnie Grenade, engaged with Tonight! in a choregraphical reinterpretation of Leonard Bernstein's music for West Side Story, also supports a wild, very nice group of 8-to-12 years old dancers in Barbe Bleue.
