SEASON BTT_MOVES 2023

Creativity, continuous research, experimentation, relationships and collaborations.

These are the BTT’s strengths, for a project activity where the company’s indispensable productive aspect, once again takes over from the distributive one of circuiting. In these years, BTT has successfully toured the world, bringing with it its passion by boldly converging in its creative process entities seemingly distant from each other, messengers of a mixture which gives vigor to the company’s topicality.

Haiku:
“Autoritratto
Rumore stride
Natura dentro”

Choreographic score over undefined annoyance. Ruggine is a choreography that starts from an introspective analysis of everything that creates screeching inside my soul. A dedication to the dark, the restlessness, the violence that animates me, an investigation directed at the part that usually remains hidden by the educational system. It is the residue that is swept away and inevitably returns. Like an event that cyclically recurs. It is the time that passes, that leaves the mark you don’t want. – Manfredi Perego

“The choreographic challenge is to give visual and dynamic concreteness to the emotion that each note expresses, capturing the nuances of Bach’s music by translating into dance the process of emotional analysis starting from what the musical score suggests. The violence and the sweetness that arise from the sounds vibrations must have a physical correspondence, creating dances crossing new carnal frequencies. The project starts from the need to challenge classical musical scores, never before tackled, in order to discover new approaches to choreography and open up to new dynamic visions. The Bach studies will be a gymnasium for choreography, a changing choreographic place that never ends its evolution. The live music sews the dancer’s epidermis to the place, taking him to another level of interpretation and listening. At the same time, the air moved by the bodies impacts on the musicians, making the action of the dance on the instrument tangible.” – Manfredi Perego

The state of “limbo” between the real and the imaginary, between erotic fantasies and sober reality, described by Mallarmé in his poem L’après-midi d’un faune, inspired Vaslav Nijinsky in the creation of the groundbreaking 1912 choreography of the same name. Since then, the theme has been artistically interpreted several times. Its fascination also inspired choreographer Mauro de Candia to explore and bring to the stage this half-animal-half-human figure. In his Faun*, he cautiously approaches the mysterious essence of this sensual creature of nature that covets reality in order to track down and release its dynamic power. It is the various bodily states and moods of the faun, its metamorphoses, that interest de Candia and which he explores. Is there not a faun in each of us? Is it not also an allegory of our time, in which bodies and their identities are reinvented and re-explored?

Running time 20’

A new, delicate Research Project on the thin boundary between man and beast; an investigation of transformations, change, the physical and spiritual alteration of being, the search for its own nature, identity, shape. Starting from the concept of man as a thinking animal with an individual consciousness, we uncover him, denude him, relating him to his truest instincts, the fears that render him powerless, his most beastly face, the pure truth of the body. We start in this work from a principle of inquiry, study, investigation, curiosity, discovery of the exact moment when everything suddenly becomes the opposite of everything, the moment when we no longer recognize ourselves and yet everything seems clear to us, the moment when the veins are crossed by new sap and we surrender ourselves to the acceptance of a new “Me” without too much judgment.

NO HALF MEASURES is a choreographic installation that works in relation to the dance identity, whether presented on stage, in a museum or in an unconventional space, and the identity of the dancers through a collective self-portrait. Four faces, appearing in constant motion, construct a fiction that narrates the evolution of the body. The dialogue between its portraits crosses currents evolving through different avant-garde art movements. The company was founded in 2003 by Meritxell Barberá and Inma García, both graduates in Classical and Contemporary Dance. Since then their works have been presented in prestigious locations and festivals both nationally and internationally. They have been operating since the beginning of their careers paying attention to the most immediate present, constantly listening to the ideological, social and cultural context that generally shakes art.
