Midnight Rain – a bridge between Milao and Wuhan as part of the 34th edition of the MILANoLTRE Festival and of the Wuhan Grand Theater…………
Moderator: Valeria Crippa
The second digital appointment of MilanOltre focuses its attention on the Beijing Modern Dance Company, and on the two shows that would have participated in the current edition of the festival postponed until 2021. The reopening of the Wuhan Grand Theater and its autumn festival entwined with the MilanOltre festival, the live presentation in Wuhan of some performances of the Beijing Modern Dance Company which were supposed to be in Milan, are the opportunity to deepen the discourse on the restarting of live shows in Milan and Wuhan, on the different conceptions of artistic work in the West and in the East and above all to deepen those enduring relations between Italy and China in the year of the celebrations between the two countries.

Notes on the Soul’s Journey as part of the 34th edition of the MILANoLTRE Festival and of the Wuhan Grand Theater…………
Moderator: Elisa Guzzo Vaccarino
Everyone will die, but we will not leave this world forever – the eternal promise of rebirth will bring us back. (Tibetan proverb)
The third digital appointment of MilanOltre focuses its attention on the Beijing Modern Dance Company, and in particular on the creation “Oath-Midnight Rain” by Gao Yanjinzi (rearrangement for an exclusively male cast of the creation “Midnight Rain”, commissioned by the Venice Biennale Danza in 2006). In this meeting we will discuss the themes of the show, which are linked to the understanding of the process of life in traditional Chinese culture, and in particular to the concepts of reincarnation and soul, also thanks to the beautiful presences that will accompany us in understanding a journey between light and dark.

Digital Dimension as part of the 34th edition of the MILANoLTRE Festival
Moderator: Francesca Pedroni
As a response to the lockdown and social distancing, the world of contemporary dance has also had to deal with a hitherto unexplored digital dimension: to keep international dialogue alive when borders have been closed, to elaborate new forms of expression and communication with the public. With this virtual meeting, MilanOltre offers the opportunity for a confrontation between international artists and curators to question themselves about the practices and languages that were born during the pandemic.
