The highly successful meeting between two great figures of contemporary jazz, Paolo Fresu and Uri Caine, gave birth to the Improvvisi project, which is also the core of this amazing live performance.
Here, Fresu's lyrical and dreamy trumpet, with its melancholic and ethereal tone, blends beautifully with Uri Caine's piano playing. Caine's style is rich with countless influences, from blues to mainstream jazz to the avant-garde, and even classical music.
Together, they create a universe of pure poetry, featuring musical quotes, virtuosic fusions, and extraordinary intensity. It's a delicate encounter that draws from tradition and lived experience, offering fresh, unforgettable musical imagery.

Guided by the internationally acclaimed choreographer Marcos Morau, La Veronal returns to the stage with "Sonoma." The title itself, a blend of the Greek soma (body) and the Latin sonum (sound), hints at the work's multifaceted nature.
"Sonoma" is deeply inspired by the art and life of Luis Buñuel, the master of surrealist cinema. Morau intricately weaves together elements of opera, dance, and physical theatre in a quest to discover new ways of expressing and communicating our turbulent and ever-changing present. The result is a work incredibly rich in themes, allusions, and profound ethical and aesthetic suggestions.
In a world where meaning seems to dissipate, "Sonoma" portrays a group of women seeking an escape through pure irrationality and instinct. They abandon their bodies, falling freely through surreal and dreamlike landscapes. Through movements of astonishing energy and hypnotic beauty, and by playing with symbols drawn from folklore, religion, cinema, and art history, the dancers' physicality becomes the voice of a rebellious, primal scream. "Sonoma" invites the audience on a captivating journey between dream and fiction, between the human and the extraordinary.

New Production
Silvia Gribaudi's new work stems from the need to reinvigorate dialogue with the audience and prompt reflection on how we perceive other bodies, and how we can revolutionize our own gaze. Through powerful imagery and movement, the choreographer/performer pushes her fifty-year-old body to its limits, revealing a dynamic flow that transcends age-related changes. This project is rooted in research into dance pioneers such as Isadora Duncan, Anna Pavlova, and Pina Bausch. It explores the desires that move our bodies, inviting the audience to become a witness-chorus and share gestures and aspirations.

New Production
With Abracadabra, Babilonia Teatri explores magic's ability—whether real or imagined—to subvert the laws of nature, questioning if its imagery can also impact the end. Because death is both commonplace and unheard of, and so is magic. Funeral rites are rituals, and so are magical rites.
On stage, a real magician (Francesco Scimeni), alongside an actress (Emanuela Villagrossi) and the directors themselves, will captivate the audience with a story told through words and images, where bodies confront the temporary nature of their presence. It's a narrative where the ultimate magic trick—the final disappearance—will be conjured through prestidigitation.

National Premiere
The title is inspired by the expression "Meet the Artist", which usually indicates the moment in which the artist is invited to dialogue with the audience to share the process behind a show. The participants/interpreters will meet, even if not live, dance artists who have marked the evolution of dance in the last sixty years, and have proposed an expansion of its traditional meaning. The work will be conceived as a space open to experimentation by everyone, a place where one can experience one's own body and create freely starting from the chosen works.
