Notte
“Man is the half-open being”, wrote Gaston Bachelard. In this piece, Anna Massoni opens a door into her personal world. Constructed around the idea of porosity between the interior and exterior of the body, Notte stages the dancer and choreographer’s body and voice in a finely poised creation. In this piece, which she describes as a “choreography of detail”, movements meet murmurs, breaths and humming. Gestures, actions and song are articulated in a space opened up by a lighting design imagined by the choreographer’s sister, Angela Massoni. Between openness and closure, revelation and obscurity, Notte probes intimacy and solitude, and seeks to affect the spectator’s perception by superimposing a layer of the imaginary over reality. Driven by Anna Massoni’s desire to concentrate on her own writing after a series of collective pieces, Notte was developed largely in residence at the CN D, where she benefits from a long-format residency.

Meeting with literature
Collaboration between a choreographer and a writer can lead to the emergence of a large number of combinations. If sometimes the choreographer creates his dance around the work of an author, the writer can also choose dance as the subject of his text.
