Roberto Bolle turns 50 and gives himself a special dance between 22 paintings by Caravaggio collected in the Palazzo Barberini exhibition in Rome. The dancer born in Casale Monferrato on March 26, 1975, but lived in Trino Vercellese, made a video late at night, in the empty museum, in which his statuesque body seems to be merging literally with the paintings.
New projects
A way to launch two projects that are very close to him for the next few months: the second edition of ‘Long live dance’ On air on April 29 in the early evening on Rai1, on the occasion of the World Dance Day. And the show ‘Caravaggio’ On stage from 9 to 11 May at the Teatro del Maggio Musicale Fiorentino with choreography by Mauro Bigonzetti and music by Bruno Moretti who tidy up songs from Monteverdi taken from Orpheus.
Long live dance
“In this year’s edition of ‘Long live dance’ We managed to give a beautiful development to the concept of ‘widespread dance’ that always accompanies my projects “, explained Bolle,” in addition to this incredible evening in which we merged the art in motion par excellence with the simpline one of Caravaggio. We will also go to dance between the monuments and the La Fenice Theater in Venice and then to Verona “.
