Emanuele Soavi incompany welcomes you!
the summer break is over – Emanuele Soavi incompany warmly welcomes you with great news about film festivals, a revival, and a special project in the making:
The film essay THE DAY I BECAME A CLOUD in the Official Selections of film festivals in New York, Tokyo, Toronto, Sidney, Ierapetra, and Ferrara
Film and television director Hansjörg Thurn accompanied the production of THE DAY I BECAME A CLOUD from the first rehearsals in Annonay in southern France to the premiere in Paris and the performance in Ferrara, Italy. In a 90-minute film essay, he combines documentary observation with his thoughts on the state of our society. The film embarks on a journey to the roots of creativity that is well worth seeing – and we are not the only ones to say so…
The film has already been included in these official selections: New York Film & Cinematography Award, Tokyo Film & Screenplay Awards, Inspired Dance Film Festival Sidney, Toronto International Nollywood Film Festival, Documentary Festival of Ierapetra & Awards, dancefilmmaking, Ferrara Filmfestival.
The Ferrara Film Festival in Emanuele’s hometown is hosting a special screening in the Sala Estense on September 22, which the ensemble will be attending.
Nominated for the Cologne Dance Award 2024, the piece STORMSONGS will be shown at festivals in Cologne and Aachen
We are looking forward to the revival of the two-part dance evening, which extracts choreographic material from the last two major co-productions FAÇADES (Cologne Philharmonic Hall, 2024) and TERPSICORE (Händel Festival Halle, 2024) and develops it further casting it in a new form.
In the first part, the choreographic concert FAÇADES is condensed to its timeless core connecting all human encounters: attraction and repulsion, closeness and distance. The dance expands the emerging kaleidoscope of emotional states and opens up new associative spaces. In the second part, transformation processes are set in motion by breaking conventions. It leaves the earthly realm and enters the subconscious. Here, finitude is suspended, gender can no longer be assigned, social role models no longer apply, and yet nonconformity is confronted with power structures once again.

Rehearsal residencies and open studios for the German Italian co-production THIS IS A PREMIERE in Wuppertal and Pistoia
In this unusual collaboration, Emanuele Soavi meets Cristiana Morganti, long-time protagonist of the Tanztheater Wuppertal Pina Bausch and now a freelance choreographer. With THIS IS A PREMIERE, the two enter a choreographic realm of memories. Re-composition of lived experience and play with found objects condense scenes and personal experiences into physical reflections. You can catch first glimpses of the production at Open Studios concluding the rehearsal residencies in Pistoia and Wuppertal, respectively.
September 14 Cultural Center Il Funaro Pistoia/Italy
October 18/19 Pina Bausch Centre under construction Wuppertal, with discussions in LIVING ROOM
The premiere will take place on October 24 at the TanzFaktur in Cologne.
In recent months, the cultural field has been plagued by a lot of uncertainties caused by alarming cutbacks as well as a lack of communication and transparency. We hope that our creative work will be able to stand firm nevertheless and continue to unfold its unifying energy and social relevance.
With this in mind, we wish everyone a multifaceted cultural autumn and look forward to seeing you again!
