Tuesday Night Fever
Choreography for the screen 17 October – 14 November 2023
A poetic and creative look at the narrative universe of cinema and the expressive power of dance. A cycle of extraordinarily fascinating previews, short films and films d’auteur expressed in the relationship between screen and dancing body. Four events by internationally renowned directors, choreographers, videomakers and authors, designed to tell the story of cinema in an unusual, dynamic, rhythmically engaging form. Irony, power, tenderness, magic and deep feelings are the ingredients of an exciting and highly diversified programme that transports the viewer into the worlds of dance and significant cinematic works of art.
