LES BALLETS DE MONTE-CARLO "BRONIA" ANTONIO DE ROSA & MATTIA RUSSO | KOR’SIA - "ALTRO CANTO" JEAN-CHRISTOPHE MAILLOT

Bronislava Nijinska, Bronia to those closest to her, was a daughter, sister, wife, lover, and mother of dancers. A creator, educator, performer, répétiteur, and dance writer. In Bronia’s life, everything was deeply connected to the walls of a theater. Mattia Russo and Antonio de Rosa/Kor’sia with dramaturgy by Agnès López-Río pay homage to her legacy as a transgressive woman and to her unbreakable connection with what was her life: the theater.

Halfway between the statuary of cathedrals and the twilight zone of a Georges de La Tour, Altro Canto is a work which uplifts the androgynous bodies following the dramatic accents of the Monteverdi Magnificat. Though Jean-Christophe Maillot does not necessarily develop a specific theme to lead his ballet, it is actually the score of the italian composer which is he true heartbeat of the piece.
