SYRACUSE – A weekend of powerful emotions and top-quality dance. The stage is set to host two productions with strong visual and emotional impact on Friday 6 and Saturday 7 November, with the curtain rising at 8.30pm for both performances.
From an intimate, dramatic account of the life of one of the 20th century’s greatest icons to a moving tribute in motion to Italy’s singer-songwriter heritage, the weekend’s programme offers a varied and immersive artistic journey.
Friday 6 November: “Private Callas” and the drama beyond the diva
The first event, scheduled for the evening of Friday 6 November (8.30pm), presents “Private Callas”, a choral creation designed to celebrate Maria Callas, the Voice of the Century. The work lays bare the contrasts of a life marked by global success but also by deep inner turmoil.
- The theme of the work: The piece tackles the issue of gender-based violence in its most invisible and insidious forms, revealing the contrast between the glamour of the “Diva’s” public life and her private suffering.
- The social value: Through the language of contemporary dance, the production evokes Callas’s rebellious spirit and her constant struggle for self-assertion and for women’s role in society, reinterpreting operatic tradition in a modern key.
Saturday 7 November: “Nel blu Sa(n)remo Danza” between music and movement
The programme continues on Saturday 7 November (8.30pm) with the show “Nel blu Sa(n)remo Danza”, a choreographic journey celebrating the history of great Italian song.
The company will take the audience on a sensory and emotional journey through the songs and lyrics of Italy’s most famous singer-songwriters. The timeless melodies of the Italian musical tradition take shape and form through the dancers’ movements, turning listening into a visual and dynamic experience.
