2018’s edition of the annual Equilibrio dance festival is, for the second time, dedicated to a sole nation: France. The festival plans to pay homage to a new country each year for three years, and chose La Francia as its second protagonist thanks to the enormous influence its had on shaping dance (particularly contemporary dance) in Europe.
The festival will show the work of modern French choreographers and the universal interest of their contemporary repertoire, unknown to the Roman audience till today.
The line-up features The Opera Ballet of Lione on 24 and 25 February; shows by Systeme Castafiore (17 -18 February), Maguy Marin (13 February) and Hervé Koubi (21 February) a must-see for his urban rhythms and modern dance. Koubi will debut his “Les Nuits Barbares” in Italy, which has been acclaimed by critics worldwide. The director of the magazine Ballet2000 France – Alfio Agostini – will have a debate with renowned French critics who will focus on analyzing the relation between France and Italy in dance.
