Cenerentola - una storia italiana...

VeneziainDanza 2021
XIII edition
Artistic director: Michela Barasciutti

In harmony with the sets and costumes of Antonio Petris, and for the ten dancers of the company Fabula Saltica, led by him, the choreographer Claudio Ronda imagined a sober fantastic situation, drained of any excess, set in Italy in the 1960s.
The essence of the story remains, even if the fairy godmother becomes a skilled seamstress, but there are no Disney pumpkins or mice, and instead of the glass slipper, there is a young woman closer to the real world, no longer a victim, but a conscious woman protagonist of her own choices.
The show is also a heartfelt tribute to Gioachino Rossini’s art.
For the soundtrack, Ronda uses pages chosen from various comic works by the Pesaro-born composer, devoid of the vocal parts, but full of the irony and glaze that characterize the Rossinian style, in counterpoint to other compositions by the same author and original music by Simone Pizzardo .
