A Love Story of
New Year’s Eve

© Rosellina Garbo

An old lady rummages through a trunk. She takes out a bottle of pills, a wedding veil, a remote control, lots of colored balloons… From another trunk comes the music of a music box. An old man appears. He is wearing an old, worn-out formal suit. The man looks at the woman and smiles. He immediately reaches her. He hugs her. The woman rests her head on his shoulder. He caresses her. She holds him tight so as not to lose her balance. He supports her. They dance. He takes a pocket watch out of his pocket: minus five… minus four… minus three… minus two… minus one… and at the stroke of midnight he sets off a firecracker. They kiss. He throws a handful of confetti into the air. The party begins. Happy New Year, my love! He and she are now sixteen. In bathing suits they promise each other eternal love. To the tune of old songs they celebrate the arrival of the new year by dancing their love story backwards. 

Il tango delle capinere is the deepening of a study, Ballarini, which belonged to la trilogia degli occhiali. It is the composition of a mosaic of memories that makes bearable the loneliness of those who unfortunately outlive the other.

Rudolf Nureyev – The Nutcraker

December 18th, 2024 – January 12th, 2025 Teatro alla Scala, Milan
approx. 130 minutes (intermission included)

Christmas Classic in Milan

The new Season opens with the reprise of a much loved Christmas classic that has enchanted La Scala since 1969: The Nutcracker, with Rudolf Nureyev’s choreography and the historic staging of Nicholas Georgiadis. From the children’s dances to the family’s Christmas celebrations, from the battle of the mice and toy soldiers to the brilliance of the snowflakes, the music and dance combine beautifully in the choreographic designs of the famous waltzes and pas de deux, rich of technique, rigour, lines and balance, which reveal the dramaturgical approach that Nureyev wanted to give at this ballet: between shadows and light, the journey of an adolescent girl, Clara’s dream.

Pierre Piton – Open/Closed

October 30th, 2024 Fabbrica del Vapore/DiDstudio, Milan
55 minutes

Inside-Out & Outside-In

© Gregory Batardon

Born in 1995, Pierre Piton belongs to a generation that, according to him, is that of an in-between, that of a dystopian utopia. Between anger and fear, the beings of this generation navigate in an impossible future. With Open/Closed, Pierre Piton tries to externalize this duality in order to give the disorder a new strength.

Open/Closed guides the viewer through an intimate research exposing the body ‘inside-out and outside-in’. Imbued with organic sounds, this intimate and conceptual choreographic exploration plays on the ambiguity between intensity and vulnerability of a personal revolution that is as fragile as it is powerful. The boundaries of the self vanish in favor of an experience where the body coincides with that of the other, and is defined in a continuum linking past and future bodies.
