CCN/Aterballetto

As Italy’s first National Choreographic Centre and leading contemporary dance company, CCN/Aterballetto is a hub for creativity — fostering dialogue between art forms with a commitment to artistry and avant-garde aesthetics. In the company’s Western Canadian premiere, a mixed program will feature Iratxe Ansa and Igor Bacovich’s Rhapsody in Blue, a large, joyful ensemble work for 16 dancers based on George Gershwin’s famous rhapsody, one hundred years after its first performance; Crystal Pite’s melancholic Solo Echo, a meditation on love, loss, and acceptance; and Diego Tortelli’s ecstatic and rebellious Glory Hall. "Bursting with youthful buoyancy and lyric ease." - LOS ANGELES TIMES
