I anledning friluftsutstillingen Come si attende ogni ritorno med bronseskulpturer av den italienske kunstneren Davide Rivalta i parken rundt Oscarshall som åpner 3 mai, er vi stolte av å kunne presentere, i samarbeid med De kongelige samlinger og Italias ambassade, Italias nasjonale koreografisenter Aterballetto sine ballettforestillinger på Oscarshall. Aterballetto vil fremføre tre MicroDances både på åpningen av utstillingen den 3. mai og i tre omganger den 4. mai i forbindelse med omvisningene på Oscarshall kl. 11.00; 13.00 og 15.00. Etappen i Oslo er del av prosjektet «Italia Danza«, der Sofia, Köln og Madrid utgjør de andre etappene i denne omgangen av prosjektet.

Italia Danza is a project by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation and CCN/Aterballetto. The project is realized through the Directorate General for Public and Cultural Diplomacy of Maeci, and is developed in collaboration with the Italian Cultural Institutes and with the support of the Emilia-Romagna Region and the Municipality of Reggio Emilia. The core of Italia Danza is the idea of crossing the symbolic places of Italian culture in the world, the Italian Cultural Institutes, Embassies and diplomatic headquarters through site-specific performances imagined to inhabit palaces, halls and auditoriums, but also small monumental or urban spaces. The first phase of the project took place in November and December 2023 in Prague, Brussels, Zagreb, Stockholm, and Dakar. In spring 2024, the initiative continues to expand to new destinations: Sofia, Cologne, Oslo, and Madrid.
The MicroDanze (MicroDances), with which the National Choreographic Centre/Aterballetto of Reggio Emilia has specialised in site-specific performance, are emblematic of this project. These are short creations signed by Italian and international choreographers that have already been exhibited in highly suggestive places such as the Acropolis Museum in Athens, at the National Museum of Castel Sant’Angelo in Rome, at Les Halles de Schaerbeek in Brussels, and in Brescia, Italian Capital of Culture 2023. By imagining that the headquarters of Italian Embassies and Cultural Institutes can be transformed into surprising spaces where dance can be discovered, the performances focus attention on a fundamental aspect of Italian creativity, the contemporary art, capable of creating new languages and new audiences.
