Production Details / Press Releases
as part of utopia – european ensemble network for dance, the italian compagnia zappalà danza is making its third guest appearance at the halle tanzbühne berlin. there, italian choreographer roberto zappalà will present the german premiere of »instrument jam«: through music and dance, he portrays a boundless sicily on stage, in which tradition and modernity meet, cross paths and merge.
»instrument jam« is the dazzling quintessence of the »instrument« trilogy, developed by roberto zappalà through three consecutive stages, each dedicated to a different instrument: the two traditional sicilian instruments marranzano and drums, as well as the modern percussion instrument hang, which was invented in the 21st century. »instrument jam« brings all three instruments together for the first time in a choreography for seven male dancers. on stage, the musical echoes of the instruments reverberate through the dance, creating new suggestions and resonances; echoes that develop and produce other echoes. together they continue a journey that the choreographer has undertaken to reinterpret sicily through his choreographic language.
