AL MOMENTO. Schraffur Thanks for The Dance   Click here to see the Documentary Film   Rai 5 report “Save the date”   BTT has turned 40. Forty years of dance, of continuous research, experimentation, relationships, and collaborations which the Company celebrates with a first online event. The anniversary – which we should have celebrated on December 14, 2020, at Teatro Carignano, at the end of a year unlike any other – has become a Documentary Film. It is an expression of what remains in time and memory, tangible proof of an art which, even though not live, is ” alive despite everything”. The film marks the start of a journey, which will continue for the whole of 2021, in celebration of the 40 years of the Company. Al Momento. Schraffur links past present and future, roots and shoots.  In these indefinite and constantly changing times when we are continuously asked to adapt, creativity shows its vulnerability and strength as well, following a fluid and porous path, without definite borders and far from any idea of perfection.  Faith and courage are the keywords and the forces to draw on to expand our horizons, thus pulverizing predetermined scenarios.  We entrusted this suggestion, which results in live practice on stage, to three artists: Manfredi Perego with ”Giochi senza forme e allenamenti all’imprevisto”, Marta Ciappina with “Esercizi di consonanza” and Silvia Gribaudi with “Pratiche umane di incontri gioiosi”. Three performative acts, then, create “Al Momento. Schraffur” on music by Estelle Costanzo (harp) and Fritz Hauser (percussions).  “Al Momento” is inspired by Fritz Hauser’s track “Schraffur” (Sgraffito), revisited for the first time for a harp and percussions line-up. ‘Sgraffito’ is a decorative technique achieved by applying layers coated in different colors one after the other. It becomes a metaphor for the successive layers of the performance which, by overlapping and hiding, reveal one another. Thanks to the support of Teatro Stabile di Torino and of the City of Turin, the shooting took place at Fonderie Limone over two days of intense work from the dancers, musicians, technicians, collaborators, and the video makers RATAVÖLOIRA. The Documentary Film is part of Piemonte dal Vivo’s program onLive – an online challenge accepted by the Foundation to try and knock down the boundaries between on-site and on-line, to go beyond the distancing imposed by the computer screen and continue making plans even in this difficult moment.     AL MOMENTO.
