Chopin / Into Us - Bruciare

“Burning is the feeling of continually wanting to transcend, of a fire that wants to get bigger and bigger, to which one must give the right shape without burning oneself, thus understanding the balance between the inner and the outer world.”

Adriano Bolognino's latest creation is a tribute to Fryderyk Chopin, the musical author who comes closest to certain rhythms that embody the essence of his choreographic creations: unexpected events, silences and pauses have always fascinated and defined the choreographer's work.

The subtitle “Into us - Bruciare” is dedicated to Rosaria di Maro, Bolognino’spartner and muse, and to the flame of creation that animates the two young artists.

This project is the first in a series dedicated to the composers that most inspire the choreographer: the next creations will focus Maurice Ravel, Franz Schubert and Max Richter.

“Chopin / Into us - Bruciare” was created during a summer residency at Orsolina28 Art Foundation.
