It starts on 22 July the summer edition of the international festival Move Off in Colle 2021, organized by the MOTUS Company in collaboration with the Municipality of Colle di Val d’Elsa
National and international contemporary dance events are scheduled from 22 July to 25 July in Colle di Val d’Elsa for the international festival Move Off in Colle 2021, organized by the MOTUS Company in collaboration with the Municipality of Colle di Val d’Elsa, with the support of ChiantiBanca.
The Move Off festival, born in 2009 at the Alfieri Theatre thanks to the collaboration of the Municipality of Castelnuovo Berardenga, was then characterized as a itinerant festival, moving not only to other territories in the province of Siena, but also internationally, with prestigious collaborations in Europe and Asia.
The summer edition, which takes place this year for the first time in the inspiring setting of Piazza Duomo in Colle di Val d’Elsa, is included in the summer program “ColleVentuno”, organized by the Municipality of Colle di Val d’Elsa. On 22 July 2021, the festival program starts with the Russian choreographer and dancer Tanya Khabarova, founder of the famous Russian collective Derevo, awarded nine times at the Edinburgh Festival and internationally recognized as one of the most original expressions of physical theater. Khabarova presents “ARCH”, a show dedicated to the female figure and its archetypes.
On 23 July 2021 the program foresees the regional premiere of the show “AGUA”, presented by the sicilian company Petranuradanza / Megakles Ballet, with choreography by Salvatore Romania and Laura Odierna, produced with the support of the Ministero della Cultura – Dipartimento Dello Spettacolo, Regione Sicilia – Assessorato Turismo e Spettacolo. The work is a post-Covid reflection on the concept of resilience, the ability of a system to adapt to the context and define “liquid” forms of resistence to overcome critical issues.
The third and final evening of the festival is on 25 July 2021 with another regional premiere presented by the Atacama company (Rome): the show “La Danza della Realtà”, inspired by Alejandro Jodorowski (Chilean playwright, director, actor, composer and writer). The show is produced with the support of the Ministero della Cultura – Dipartimento Dello Spettacolo, Regione Lazio – Assessorato alla Cultura e Politiche Giovanili, in co-production with the International Festival of Contemporary Dance Paesaggi del Corpo.
All the performances start at 9,30 p.m. in Piazza Duomo in Colle di Val d’Elsa and will take place in compliance with anti-Covid19 regulations.
The shows will be preceded by short performances by the MOTUS Company. Ticket cost € 10, € 8 (reduced – over 65, under 25, students, Chianti Mutua members). For those who buy tickets for all three evenings, there is a combined ticket of € 18. Reservation is recommended.
