Grand finale for Festival dei Due Mondi: Marie Chouinard, Marco Goecke, Silvio Orlando, Luca Marinelli, Antonio Pappano

Spoleto, July 6, 2023 - The last Weekend of the 66th Festival dei Due Mondi, which in recent weeks has been a great success with audiences and several sold out shows, begins from Piazza Duomo at Teatro Romano. friday July 7 and Saturday, July 8 (at 21:30) German choreographer Marco Goecke brings to Teatro Romano three works that sum up his style: in Tué the music of French singer-songwriter Barbara contrasts with the fast, nervous movements of dancer Maude Sabourin; for Midnight Raga Goecke is captivated by the Indian music of Ravi Shankar, to which he juxtaposes his own personal style; the delicate, summery atmosphere of Whiteout is inspired instead from some verses from French poet Paul Eluard's Le visage de la Paix. On Saturday, July 8 and Sunday, July 9 (at 7:30 p.m., at 4 p.m.) , "M," a new creation by Canadian choreographer Marie Chouinard, makes its national premiere at the Teatro Nuovo Gian Carlo Menotti: a radical exploration of breath, a succession of movements that depend as much as possible on the sounds emitted by the dancers. The return of the formidable Portuguese dancer duo Jonas&Lander is expected, with three performances to San Simone and at the San Nicolò Monumental Complex: Lento e Largo (July 6 at 7:30 p.m.), Cascas d'OvO (July 7 at 5 p.m. and July 9 at 12 p.m.), Bate Fado (July 8 at 9:30 p.m.). Big debuts for theater as well: landing to Spoleto is the winner of the Premio Nacional de Literatura Dramática 2021 Pablo Remón, author and director of Charlatans. The hilarious comedy, on stage at Teatro Caio Melisso Spazio Carla Fendi until July 8 (at 19, at 17) marks the return to the Festival of Silvio Orlando, among Italy's most versatile and award-winning actors. Director Antonio Latella leads the young talents of the Compagnia dell'Accademia Nazionale d'Arte Drammatica Silvio d'Amico for Il Male Sacro - July 7 to 9 at Teatrino delle 6 Luca Ronconi - for a new production premiering the text by Umbrian playwright and director Massimo Binazzi. Luca Marinelli signs to Spoleto his first stage direction directing Fabian Jung in the transposition of Franz Kafka's short story An Affair for an Academy, at the Auditorium della Stella on Saturday, July 8 and Sunday, July 9 (at 21, at 17). It is an exceptional date with organist Cameron Carpenter at the Papal Basilica of St. Mary of the Angels in Assisi, friday July 7 at at 6 p.m. From his vast repertoire Carpenter chooses to perform a program entirely dedicated to the music of Bach in one of the Franciscan places that is a symbol of Christian spirituality. Last performances (July 7-8-9, St. Agatha's) for MusicAnimalia, the midday concert series-already all sold out-that involves the Perugia Orchestra from Camera in a small encyclopedia of animals in music. From fauna to flora, on Saturday, July 8 at at 10 the Festival hosts Stefano Mancuso, among the leading scholars of the botanical world, for a meeting at the Teatro Caio Melisso Spazio Carla Fendi. As from tradition, the Festival concludes on Sunday, July 9, with the final concert at Piazza Duomo: Antonio Pappano conducts the Orchestra dell'Accademia Nazionale di Santa Cecilia and mezzo-soprano Sasha Cooke for Lieder eines fahrenden Gesellen and Gustav Mahler's Symphony No. 1 Titan, capable more than any other of making us share in his music the immensity of the world around us.
