Figaro. Il Barbiere di Siviglia

Use the code FIGARO

 

Monica Casadei with the Artemis Danza Company proposes an installation, designed for streaming, of one of Gioacchino Rossini's most famous titles, "The Barber of Seville", with an original choreographic interpretation created in the evocative rooms of the Rocchetta Mattei.

 

Who is Figaro? In Monica Casadei's reading, Figaro is the prototype of the successful man in today's world. The Rossinian hero becomes the emblem of those who manage to effectively meet the expectations of a company that requires them to achieve their goals by optimizing time and energy every day.

On the choreographic level, the character of Figaro multiplies in the bodies of the entire company, where, without distinction of gender, the performers act with the determination, energy and rigor of a special team: toned, gritty and hyper-concentrated, their dance manipulates time and space without respite, weaving and untying continuously an infinite network of changes of directions, intersections of trajectories and inlays of movements. As if following the routes of crowded and noisy highways, the dancers untangle themselves with lucidity and martial energy, wise gears of the crazy mechanism of social life.
