Avremo ancora l’occasione di ballare insieme

Deflorian/Tagliarini

April 20 – 23, 2022

The duo of authors, directors and performers Daria Deflorian and Antonio Tagliarini engage with Federico Fellini’s cinematic vision and with his deep exploration of human life. The result is a piece on coming together, dancing together, being a couple – on intimacy and dialogue. It is loosely based on Ginger e Fred starring Marcello Mastroianni and Giulietta Masina as Pippo e Amelia, an elderly couple of tap dancers. The title, “we will have another opportunity to dance together again”, reverses a line Amelia says to Pippo at the end of the film: “I don’t think we will have the opportunity to dance together again”. The work is also dedicated to all artists, to the masks they wear and to their unwavering commitment to “playing”.
