Moving through space as opposing forces, two bodies inhabit a shifting landscape of presence and absence, closeness and distance, tension and surrender. Their physical dialogue reveals that every gesture inherently contains its opposite, turning paradox from a mere contradiction into the very foundation of their relationship. Set to Chopin’s Nocturnes—music suspended between sweetness and torment—the stage becomes a realm where oxymorons take physical shape: silence turns into sound, fragility builds into strength and falls lead to elevation. The dancers do not represent separate entities, but rather two facets of a single unity that constantly divides and recombines. The piece ultimately unfolds as a choreographic meditation on the mystery of opposites, proving that what seems irreconcilable is in fact essential, until a final embrace reveals life as the very tension that holds all polarities together. 

Roberto Tedesco

In 2009, Roberto Tedesco joined the Scuola del Balletto di Toscana and danced with the Junior BdT company before joining Aterballetto in 2011. He won the Critics’ Award at the International Choreographic Competition Hannover. He has choreographed for the Nationaltheater Mannheim and Ballett Vorpommern, and was selected for the Think Big project at the Staatsoper Hannover. He was selected for the Vetrina della Giovane Danza d’Autore and the ResiDance programme (Anticorpi XL Network) and the SupportER programme (Anticorpi ER). With his work Decisione Consapevole, he was a finalist in the 2022 edition of DNA Appunti Coreografici, took part in the NID Platform Open Studios section in Cagliari (2023) and in the Programming section in Vicenza (2024). Tedesco has created pieces for Aterballetto, MM Contemporary Dance Company and COB. He was awarded the Danza&Danza Award for Emerging Choreographer in 2023 and the International City of Foligno Award for Breakout Choreographer in 2024. He regularly collaborates with CCN Aterballetto, and his works are produced by KLm and Körper CNPD. In 2025, his project LOS(v)ERS was among the winners of the SIAE programme ‘Per Chi Crea’.
