WORKS
Duration: 20 minutes
Concept, Direction and Choreography: Wayne McGregor
Music: Jon Hopkins
In collaboration with Studio Wayne McGregor
Re-staging: Neil Fleming Brown, Jessica Wright, Davide Di Pretoro
On 10th April 2008, Entity started at Sadler Wells in London.
An hour-long breathtaking trip through a soundscape created by Jon Hopkins.
ENTITY is a staggering blend of athletic bodies, lights, technology and film which confirms McGregor’s place at the cutting edge of contemporary culture.
Technically astonishing, emotionally uncompromising and hard-hitting. McGregor’s work breaks boundaries and defies categorisation.
Milano Contemporary Ballet, in collaboration with Studio Wayne McGregor, has restaged an abstract of this masterpiece of contemporary dance.

TREdiTRE
Duration: 25 minutes
Direction and Choreography: Roberto Altamura
Music: A. Vivaldi
TREdiTRE is the result of a research coming from the need to exploit the dancers' body as an instrument at the service of movement and music.
The performance brings on stage a dance made of breaths, strong and physical but at the same time delicate and ironic.
The three dancers use their movement to enrich Vivaldi's composition with new colours and nuances. Alternating aesthetics, technique and different qualities, TREdiTRE fascinates the audience with a breathtaking, powerful and dynamic dance, deeply connected with the music.

CONNECTIONS
Duration: 25 minutes
Direction and Choreography: Roberto Altamura/Vittoria Brancadoro
Music: Nils Frahm, Pan Sonic, Terry Riley, Sandro Dandria
The attraction between individuals is a limitless power, capable of establishing strong bonds, even just after a brief encounter.
Just as magnets, we can attract and capture other people, causing them and ourselves to whirl in a vortex that we cannot explain, but which changes our bodies and our minds feelings.
Connections talks about our endless search for someone or something that accompany us, completing and compensating our missing pieces, just as we felt a vital need to find an extension of ourselves.
Through experiences, links, relations and contacts, the moving body creates continuous connections with himself and the others.

Costume Design: beatrice Garofoli | KIZETTE
C H R O N O S nasce da un'esigenza personale: l'intima necessità di esternare le proprie inquietudini riguardo allo scorrere del tempo. Non possiamo controllarlo o manipolarlo, siamo inermi di fronte ad esso. Parlarne diventa allora antidoto contro l'oppressione e l'ossessione di un tempo che ci sfugge dalle mani senza che possiamo fare nulla per fermarlo.
