MM Contemporary Dance Company Debuts Vivaldi-Inspired Triptych

MM Contemporary Dance Company premiered 'Vivaldi works' at Teatro Asioli in Correggio, a triptych of choreographies by Michele Merola, Eugenio Scigliano, and Daniele Ninarello, all set to music by Antonio Vivaldi. Scigliano's 'No man's land' uses the Largo from Concerto in E-Flat Major, RV 408 to evoke migration, exile, and lost identity through abstract movement for four male dancers. Ninarello's 'Bloom' entered the repertoire after a successful debut at 'Prove d'autore XL' in Ravenna, part of the Network Anticorpi XL platform for emerging choreographers. The piece begins with improvisation and transitions from Steve Reich to Vivaldi, inspired by Studio Drift's installation 'Coded Nature' at Stedelijk Museum Amsterdam. Merola's 'Vivaldi umane passioni' draws on Chagall's poetic universe and Vivaldi's violin concertos 'La Follia', 'L'Inquietudine', and 'L'estro armonico', featuring dynamic group formations and duets against a backdrop of celestial lights. The company's versatility and technical skill were highlighted.
