Seeking to break out of anthropocentric automatisms in their search for movement, Demestri+Lefeuvre investigate in Troisième Nature the possibility of translating non-human movements through the body. They bet on the possibility of a body becoming a landscape, a surface for the inscription of different ways of existing. They therefore represent an exploratory journey that aims to translate non-human movements through the body. At the centre of a device around which is the audience, a sensitive, non-anatomical body is recomposed, made of a mirroring surface that accompanies the spectators on a journey through the randomness of forms.
Rather than a choreographic phrasing or a defined physicality, the images follow one another, evoking the phenomenon of pareidolia - that spontaneous transformation of the visible that can make us see a horse in a cloud, or a mountain range in patches of humidity. A modelling material that eludes any prefabricated interpretation, the metamorphosis of this ‘third nature’ is a movement of living poetry.

The Sun, symbol of strength and energy, and its cyclical nature give Daniele Albanese the inspiration for this show. Appunti per il sole is placed on a sensorial level, trying to bring the relationship between the observer and the actor back to a primordial level. On stage, two performers develop a language made of repetition, accumulations and variations, creating a written but always unexpected dance, and a musician weaves a dizzying musical structure, with cycles of speed and intensity in progressive growth, and with intervals of sudden suspension. The result is an investigation into time, energy and the very nature of dance.

When Stefano Bollani takes the stage with his Piano Solo recital, there is only one rule: to pay tribute to the art of improvisation through the ever-new union of all the notes gathered over twenty years of jam sessions. Each performance is different, yet always incredible. An unparalleled piano talent, Bollani is both a composer and interpreter with flawless technique, exquisite sensitivity, and boundless verve—qualities that place him among the pantheon of jazz greats, while also enabling him to collaborate with the most renowned symphony orchestras in the interpretation of classical repertoire.

The Piano Solo recital is a journey across the piano keys that renews itself every night. Bollani’s music knows no boundaries; it defies musical genres and is nourished by all those magical moments shared with extraordinary artists he has encountered on stages worldwide. A one-man show where anything can happen. There is no fixed setlist, no program to dictate the order of pieces. The only certainty is the unpredictable medley chosen by the audience, where his virtuosity blends with his legendary irreverence.

National Premiere

Between fiction and reality, short film and stage, singular postures and multiple dances, Jeux de société examines the phenomena of belonging in a sensitive choreography where gestures and sounds respond to each other, merge, and collide. After having explored in Heres: nel nome del figlio the universal theme of the father-son relationship, he returns to literature and social sciences with Jeux de société. Repeated sequences, harmonies or counterpoints to choreography… the archetypes of dance meet the rhythms of electronics in a captivating game. Among his sources of inspiration are the research of the psychiatrist Éric Berne on the Ego States, Haruki Murakami's novel Kafka on the Shore and George Orwell's Animal Farm, which guide him towards the metamorphosis of bodies and spaces for a reflection on the transformations that a society can generate.
