The Berkeley Street Theatre complex was transformed into an Italian salon where audiences can see four groundbreaking Italian contemporary dance and theatre productions, along with a series of free events featuring Italian fashion, music, food and art that will create a festival atmosphere. Between performances, guests can relax over Italian antipasti and a glass of wine in the Berkeley lobby while enjoying live music, contemporary light installations by BRUNO BILLIO and fashions by Versace and Carlucci, with different events taking place each night.
Everyday: Internationally acclaimed Italian artist BRUNO BILLIO uses light to transform the Canadian Stage Company's Berkeley location for Spotlight on Italy. At once an installation artist, a sculptor, and a designer, Billio's centrepiece will be an 18' tall Black and Yellow Tower. Everyday: Pieces from Versace's and Carlucci's latest collections will be on display.

Inspired by Lucretius’ ancient Roman text On the Nature of the Universe, this compelling dance theatre piece was conceived and choreographed to examine and explore the idea of the origin of things, vacuousness and nothingness.

NUNZIO Text by Spiro Scimone, Directed by Carlo Cecchi, with Francesco Sframeli and Spiro Scimone.
A dialogue takes place between an ailing man who is happy merely to “wait and see” and his tough nomadic hero who is soft at heart – both alone in the world and partners in misfortune.

Dominic Mancuso
Tuesday, March 15, 8:30-10:30 pm
2010 Juno Award winner for "World Music Album of the Year" and 2010 Canadian Folk Music Award winner for "World Solo Artist of the Year" Dominic Mancuso weaves in the warmth and passion of Sicilian folk sensibility, with the sliding quarter notes of the myriad sounds of the Mediterranean rim, with the vibrant elasticity of the idiom of soul and the wild swing of jazz and Romani freedom. Mancuso is an artist that transcends cultures and borders making old world new.
