SPOTLIGHT ON ART
Everyday: Internationally acclaimed Italian artist BRUNO BILLIO uses light to transform the Canadian Stage Company's Berkeley location. Billio's centrepiece will be an 18' tall Black and Yellow Tower.
SPOTLIGHT.ITALY 10.11 marks the first year of our international Spotlight series, which will see the entire Berkeley complex transformed into a celebration of the groundbreaking contemporary theatre and culture of a particular foreign country.
LA NATURA DELLE COSE
Choreography by Virgilio Sieni, collaboration on dramaturgical writing and translations Giorgio Agamben, with Ramona Caia, Massimiliano Barachini, Jacopo Jenna, Csaba Molnar, Daniele Ninarello.
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.
March 15-19, 2011 Berkeley Downstairs
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.
March 15-19, 2011 Berkeley Upstairs
BASSO OSTINATO
Choreography by Caterina Sagna, Text by Roberto Fratini Serafide,with Alessandro Bernardeschi, Antonio Montanile, Mauro Paccagnella.
Following an evening meal, three men converse with words, fragments, and gestures in this criticism of contemporary human efforts to mask decay and death under virtuosic form.
March 22-26, 2011 Berkeley Downstairs
LA FESTA
Text by Spiro Scimone, Directed by Gianfelice Imparato, with Francesco Sframeli, Spiro Scimone, Gianluca Casali.
La Festa is a brilliant examination of the family microcosm. Set in a small, abstract kitchen while preparing for a party, a father, mother, and son act out one day — amongst many — in a cruel but delightfully funny game of reciprocal intolerance.
