Stunning pics of Sergei by Alessia Santambrogio

On Saturday, February 3, 2018 the famous dancer Sergei Polunin and company inaugurated the new edition of ParmaDanza at the Teatro Regio. Natalia Osipova and soloists from some of Russia’s most prestigious theaters joined Polunin onstage. A highlight of the performance was the national debut of Polunin’s work, Sartori.

The idea comes from Project Polunin , an artistic project that aims to produce new choreographic creations thanks to the collaboration between dancers, choreographers, musicians and artists from different fields.

For Sergei Polunin, Satori represents his own path of reunion with love for dance and passion for art. It is the culmination of a personal journey. He brought together a group of artists with whom he created a program that consists of three parts, including two new productions.

Sergei’s solo

On the stage of the Teatro Regio the program opened with First Solo , performed by Sergei Polunin. It was created by the award-winning choreographer Andrey Kaydanovskiy. First Solo tells of a man’s search for freedom through that same dance that makes him a slave. It is profoundly personal for Polunin. Its focus is the dualism between an artist’s life of commitment and his desire for freedom of thought and movement.

A rare treat

The show continued with Skriabiniana, a rare treat. It is among the very few choreographies left completely intact by the great choreographer Kasyan Goleizovsky. Finally, the evening ended with Satori, choreographed by Polunin himself. Sartori is directed by Gabriel Marcel del Vecchio and boasts an original soundtrack by the award-winning composer Lorenz Dangel. The production features scenes from works by photographer David Lachapelle. Angelina Atlagic designed the costumes.

The public delirious for a chance to see Polunin brought about an immediate sell out. The excellence of these international artists did not disappoint. With their dance, they involved and excited the audience of the Regio di Parma.

Photographer Alessia Santambrogio

“My vision of the scene photographer is that of a silent and discreet presence that fits into the dynamics of the show, without interfering with them, but becoming an integral part of them. It is having its own artistic vision and being able to transmit it, knowing, however, to know and listen to the needs of those who create and put on show the show.” – Alessia Santambrogio
