Aterballetto and Toni Thorimbert Merge Dance and Photography at Fotografia Europea
The Fotografia Europea festival is currently taking place at Palazzo da Mosto in Reggio Emilia, featuring an innovative performance titled In/Finito. This event is a partnership between Fondazione Nazionale della Danza and Palazzo Magnani, combining elements of dance and photography in a dimly lit environment. Six dancers utilize flashlights to enhance their performances, while concurrently, a photo exhibition showcases Toni Thorimbert’s works featuring Aterballetto dancers in urban settings. Developed by emerging choreographers from Aterballetto, the festival embraces the theme of "Rivoluzioni. Ribellioni. Cambiamenti. Utopie," with further events expected at the Festival di Fotografia della Fondazione Capri in June.
