Emanuele Soavi incompany – STORMSONGS

Music from the age of the greatest possible opulence, the Baroque, meets pop music and contemporary dance: this exciting encounter also sets the theme for the two-part dance evening STORMSONGS by Emanuele Soavi.

The interplay of complex group choreographies and individual psychologicalportraitscreates a field of tension betweenrevolutionarypower and emotional extremes, between archaic myth and theoppressivepresent.

The first part condenses the choreographic concert FAÇADES, developed for the Kölner Philharmonie, to its timeless core that unites all opposites: love and Eros. How does the uncompromising break with conventions set transformation processes in motion? And what does this have to do with stereotypical forms of expression that every era, including the present, sets and sells as standards? These questions determine the second part.

STORMSONGS combines dance and music to create a magnificent performance that has arrived in our present day and leaves room for the clash of emotion and aesthetics, for irony, sarcasm and a socially critical view.

After working as a dancer in Italy, Germany and Holland as well as choreographing for international ensembles, theaters and universities, Emanuele Soavi founded EMANUELE SOAVI INCOMPANY in Cologne in2012 . In a wide variety of formats, the ensemble builds bridges between experiment and large-scale project, research and practice, artists and audiences. The work focuses on questioning the relationship between music and dance, body and world, as well as the further development of a specialized body language and choreographic signature. Not least in places far removed from dance, such as museums, churches, hotels, galleries, clubs and educational institutions, border crossings between artistic genres and even literature and the visual arts are created. She has been invited to numerous guest performances and festivals in Germany, France, Italy, Ireland, Croatia, the Netherlands, Austria, Sweden, Switzerland, Spain, South Korea and Belarus.
