Cristina Kristal Rizzo's Prélude at Stazione Leopolda
Choreographer Cristina Kristal Rizzo premiered Prélude at Florence's Stazione Leopolda, a former industrial site, as part of the Fabbrica Europa festival. The performance, set to a soundtrack blending Afro, jazz, pop, and techno music, features eight dancers engaging with the vast, imposing architecture. Rizzo's choreography explores spatial dialogue and communal dynamics, with dancers moving in solos and unison, creating a rhythmic journey inspired by Sun Ra's Afro Futurist music. The piece will also be performed at Teatro India in Rome on July 4 and 5, 2017, as part of the Il teatro che danza series.
