Returning to the past to orientate in the present is the file rouge that Triennale Milano Teatro proposes for the 2019/2020 season, in which artistic multidisciplinarity opens up new views on the contemporary scene. The programming is constellate by timeless classics revisited and revitalized by a new vision and by contemporary performances that have become classic. Alongside the performances, Triennale Milano Teatro presents the programme EXTRA, a calendar of complementary activities: discussions, workshops and events with the direct involvement of the artists.
Caterina Barbieri/Ruben Spini e Francesco Cavaliere
October 5 2019
For the opening evening, two projects employing different expressive modes will be presented on the stage of Triennale Milano Teatro. Francesco Cavaliere, performer, musician and visual artist, will present a preview of his new work Zoo Machia Disc, a cycle of sound stories combining installative and choreographic elements. This will be followed by the audio-visual performance Time-blind, collaboratively created by the composer Caterina Barbieri and the visual artist Ruben Spini.
The personal memories of the extraordinary Café Müller by Pina Bausch compose a collective autobiography, a fragmented portrait of one of the most ground-breaking dance performances of the 20thcentury.
The mundane everyday, anonymous yet unique, in this second appointment of the retrospective that Triennale Milano dedicates to Daria Deflorian and Antonio Tagliarini.
Defying theatrical conventions, Daria Deflorian and Antonio Tagliarini, joined on stage by Monica Piseddu and Valentino Villa, construct a performative journey which interrogates suicide not as existential gesture but as extreme political act.
Hermès and Triennale Milano collaborate on the concept and delivery of a biennial platform for the development of young talents from the under-35 contemporary dance and performance scene.
Burrows and Fargion work together to reimagine the relationship between dance, music and performance.
Festival
JAZZMI
November 1 – 10, 2019
JAZZMI is in its 4th year! Milan’s jazz festival is back between 1 and 10 November 2019 to showcase the countless forms of this iconic musical genre of the 20thcentury, in its ongoing reinventions and contaminations with the future.
In Tristan and Isolde, Japanese choreographer Saburo Teshigawara meets Wagner’s music, both emblem of a distinctly European romanticism and vehicle of motives and themes that transcend spatio-temporal boundaries.
In this new work by Alessandro Serra, reality is rendered through a blurred vision, in which the narration is unraveled and the script is in itself interrupted by small impediments, misunderstandings, songs, weeping, mumbling, rhymes and sounds.
OHT tells its story through a hypnotic piece of musical theatre inspired by the music of the Estonian composer Arvo Pärt. Presenting the audience with a space without actors, Curon/Graun employs a slowed-down narration that combines texts and images with live performance.
Bermudas is an intriguing and hypnotic choreography, conceived for a varying number of performers (between three and thirteen), in interchangeable combinations. Inspired by chaos theory, the work plays with simple rules that generate a shared and permeable rhythmical world.
By Heart is a piece about the importance of transmission, about the invisible smuggling of words and ideas that only keeping a text in your memory can provide. It’s about a theatre that recognizes itself as a place that deals with what you can’t measure in meters, euros or bytes.
