Creation born as part of Prove d'Autore - action of the Network Anticorpi XL.

Adriano Bolognino's new work for the MM Contemporary Dance Company, entitled Skrik, is inspired by the painting The Scream by Edvard Munch, a work that led the choreographer to investigate the theme of tragedy, anguish and the smallness of man in the immensity of the universe. The choreographer himself explains: "The dull cry of the painting - of which I decided to keep the Norwegian title 'Skrik', which phonically brings back to an unpleasant sound, a shock, a shock - seems to deform the landscape giving us instability and fear, while preserving its immense beauty. Clinging to this dualism that I feel close, I wanted to create a dancing moment that can be a breathless accumulation of all the bad mood of recent years, but also reach the eyes of the public like a regenerating waterfall."
