Emanuele Soavi incompany welcomes you!
The year 2025 is already in full swing – and it will not be an easy one for dance and culture…
Nevertheless, we have started full of energy and already have a highlight to look back on:
From March 11 to 16, we celebrated the finale of TANZ LANDkreis Miltenberg 2022–2025. The support of the German Federal Cultural Foundation allowed us to be ambassadors for Contemporary Dance in the district of Miltenberg for the past three years. This extraordinary project with a total of 28 events at a wide variety of venues, including eight guest performances of our productions and numerous mediation formats, has now come to an end. With a HIGHLIGHTS-program, we bid a grateful and somewhat wistful farewell to our audience.
The next big event is already in sight:
During the tanz nrw 25 festival, our performance THE DAY I BECAME A CLOUD, which was developed as a parcours for the Musée d’Art Moderne in Paris, will be shown three times:
On May 14 and 15 at the Pina Bausch Center in Wuppertal and on May 17 with a special version for the Domforum and Domplatte in Cologne. In unusual performance spaces, this project makes the meaning of dissolution tangible and using the body, attempts to understand the disembodied.
By the way:
Film and television director Hansjörg Thurn accompanied the production THE DAY I BECAME A CLOUD on film, from the first rehearsals in Annonay in the south of France to the premiere in Paris and a performance in Emanuele Soavi’s home town of Ferrara. In a 90-minute essay, he combines documentary observation with his thoughts on the state of our society. We are not alone in thinking that the film is a journey to the roots of creativity that is well worth seeing. First, the film be shown at international film festivals – it is in the official selection of the Ierapetra Documentary Festival and others are sure to follow.
The first half of 2025 will also be marked by a research grant from Kunststiftung NRW, which will take us to Paris, London and Berlin. As part of this research, the concept for a new episode of the SOLO LIKE A PIG series will be developed, which is scheduled to premiere in 2026.
Also:
In February, Emanuele Soavi was invited to give a lecture as part of the Teatralmente Parlando series at the Accademia di Belle Arti in Venice. On March 20, his new work for the Agora Coaching Project ISOLE premiered in Reggio Emilia/Italy and on May 24, his choreography of PETER PAN for the Gärtnerplatztheater in Munich will enter its eighth and final season.
In the fall, you can look forward to a premiere of an international co-production with Emanuele Soavi and Cristiana Morganti as well as the revival of STORMSONGS, which was nominated for the Cologne Dance Award last year.
We wish you all an exciting year with lots of culture and in PEACE!
