With this new creation Roberto Zappalà makes a powerful return to his dance full of creative contradictions – with flavours that are carnal and delicate, musical and yet atonal, erotic and explosive, but also poetic and intimate.

Cultus
Cultus
»Cultus« is born out of an urge to compare two languages – music and dance – by emphasising not only their contiguity and points of contact, but above all their rifts and differences.
With musical inspirations from Bach’s »St. Matthew Passion« and David Lang’s »The Little Match Girl Passion«, Zappalà elevates pure abstract dance to the protagonist of his new creation. Dramaturgy is transformed into emotional images of dance, inviting the audience to navigate in a fluid place, where losing track of time is a unique sensory experience.
The choreographic journey consists of various stages, moving transitions where the bodies of the dancers pass through and immerse themselves in various states of abandonment, tenderness, joy, ecstasy – of poetry.
