Serbia – Marco D’Agostin at the Belgrade Dance Festival
Marco D’Agostin is guest of the 19th Belgrade Dance Festival, where on April 6 he performs Best Regards, a pop tribute to Nigel Charnock, performer and co-founder of the DV8 Physical Theater, died in 2012.
D'Agostin worked with Charnock in past years and that experience marked a clear line in his way of thinking about dance: «For me, Niegel represented the possibility that on stage anything could happen and explode».
Best Regards is the letter Marco writes to Charnock eight years late, a sort of impossible letter, written to someone who will never reply. «I extend the same invitation to all the spectators. – says D'Agostin – Let’s sing together of a longing that concerns us, we who did not arrive on time to say what we wanted to».
The performance is a production by VAN cultural association, in co-production with ERT Emilia Romagna Teatro Fondazione and several other French and Italian partners, including the Emilia-Romagna artist-in-residence centre L’arboreto-Teatro Dimora | La Corte Ospitale.
It is presented in Belgrade by the Italian Cultural Institute, which is partner of the Belgrade Dance Festival, and the tour is supported also by ATER Fondazione.
