Theatre
Dance performance - Puccini’s opera - Voci di donne
The Compagnia Artemis Danza, led by Monica Casadei, dedicates this artistic project to a contemporary exploration and interpretation of four fascinating heroines by Giacomo Puccini: Tosca, Madama Butterfly, Mimì, and Turandot.
Understanding Puccini's music involves analyzing its profound connection with the feminine world. In the four acts that make up Puccini's Opera, we find Casadei's personal interpretation of the female theme, placed at the center of a choreographic, visual, and musical reinterpretation process.
Tragic love, thwarted and opposed love, cruel love that annihilates, the craving for possession that leads to destruction – all these live in the faces, bodies, and gestures of the Company, and continue to make us reflect on the contemporary relevance of stories that have moved audiences worldwide.
The creation is imbued with a poignant atmosphere, filled with tension and poetic suggestion. Puccini's orchestral score is juxtaposed with electronic tracks by composers Luca Vianini and Fabio Fiandrini, crafting an enveloping and at times apocalyptic soundscape.
A choral dance, swelling with impulses and passions, instinctive and at times wild, making dizzying use of space and appearing, even symbolically, visually full: solos protected by frames of ensembles in a dynamic accelerated by propulsive forces, bringing to life in the body and gut the drama and passions of the protagonists.
