Triennale Milano Teatro Announces 2024 Winter Season with Site-Specific Works
Triennale Milano has launched its winter theater season, titled 'Legacy. 50 anni di teatro,' inaugurated on October 8 with a site-specific performance by Catalan choreographer Marcos Morau, recently named associate artist for 2025-2027. The season runs until December 17 and features artists Annamaria Ajmone, Daria Deflorian, Michele Di Stefano, Alessandro Sciarroni, and Antonio Tagliarini, who collaborated with Triennale Milano Teatro from 2022-2024 to expand artistic research boundaries. This tradition of transdisciplinary experimentation began in 1974 with CRT-Centro di Ricerca per il Teatro, founded by Sisto Dalla Palma, and continued under artistic director Umberto Angelini when CRT became Triennale Teatro in 2017. Morau's 'Totentanz. Morgen ist die Frage' transforms Triennale spaces into a dark, timeless micro-universe inspired by the medieval danse macabre, featuring three dancers in black and three female figures in white, with smoke, incense, and projections of contemporary conflict imagery. The season includes Michele Di Stefano's 'PANORAMIC BANANA. Album degli abitanti del nuovo mondo' (October 18), Annamaria Ajmone's 'I pianti e i lamenti dei pesci fossili,' Alessandro Sciarroni's 'U. (un canto),' Antonio Tagliarini's 'La foresta trabocca,' Daria Deflorian's adaptation of Han Kang's 'The Vegetarian,' and 'La Visita' by Romeo Castellucci and Silvia Rampelli. A parallel program of meetings, workshops, and masterclasses will also take place.
