  3. Rain Dogs - Vertigo - Cantata


A triptych consisting of a choreography by Johan Inger ("Rain Dogs") and two works by Mauro Bigonzetti ("Vertigo" and "Sung").

Swedish dancer, artistic director of the Cullberg Ballet until 2008 and today internationally renowned choreographer Johan Inger takes its inspiration from the famous song of American singer-songwriter Tom Waits for a ballet that tells of sentiments and human relations. Meetings, exchanges, love and friendship are interwoven into a choreography that speaks to us and our society.

"Vertigo", the first of two songs by Mauro Bigonzetti, is a ballet in which technique and expressive blend completely. The possibilities of the body are taken to the extreme, to the threshold of vertigo, never result in athleticism and maintaining a great expressive force.

"Cantata" is a choreography by strong colors typical of the South that evokes the Mediterranean beauty and wild, which tells the relationship between men and women through seduction, passion, jealousy and dalliances. It is also a tribute to culture and Italian musical tradition of the ' 700 and 800, from lullabies to salentine pizziche to Neapolitan SERENADES.
