From July 17 to August 2, Venice will be the centre of contemporary dance with choreographers, performers, artists and companies from around the world: so many different ways of thinking, experiencing and experimenting with dance today.

Among the events of note to add to your calendar: the inaugural evening dedicated to the legendary American choreographer Twyla Tharp, Golden Lion for Lifetime Achievement, with Slacktide and Diabelli; the futuristic performance by Australian company Chunky Move, United, with its hyper-dancers “dressed” in robotic exoskeletons; the universal notes of the myth of death and rebirth by La Veronal and Marcos Morau in La Mort i la Primavera; Friends of Forsythe, a collaboration between the great American choreographer and Rauf “RubberLegz” Yasit as well as many other artists to celebrate the diverse cultures of dance; one of the finest Italian companies, the Nuovo Balletto di Toscana, with Sisifo felice, a joint choreography by Philippe Kratz and Pablo Girolami, and the British duo Bullyache with A Good Man is Hard to Find.

The Tao Dance Theatre returns to Venice, with the pure dance of its renowned Numerical Series (this year it’s 16 and 17); while coming to Venice for the first time for La Biennale is the Aakash Odedra Company and its Songs of the bulbul, which conveys Sufi spirituality in the most refined form of the Kathak tradition. Emerging performers at the festival include Tânia Carvalho, one of the new voices in Portuguese dance, author and interpreter of the solo Ventre do Vulcão, and the Kor’sia collective, founded in Madrid by Italian dancers and choreographers Antonio de Rosa and Mattia Russo, who bring to Venice Simulacro, an immersive interdisciplinary experience that amplifies the interaction between reality and virtuality.

And furthermore: Yoann Bourgeois, famous worldwide for his works and their remarkable balance between dance and acrobatics, comes to La Biennale with a performance authored in collaboration with Canadian singer-songwriter Patrick Watson; the Canadian violinist and choreographer Virginie Brunelle, with Fables, three tableaux embodied by ten dancers from her company together with pianist Laurier Rajotte; the performer and director Carolina Bianchi, the Festival’s Silver Lion, with chapter two of her trilogy Cadela Força: The Brotherhood. 

And finally, a unique and unexpected way of experiencing dance with On the Other Earth by Wayne McGregor and artist Jeffrey Shaw. An immersive and interactive installation that envelops the audience inside the new nVis structure, the world’s first 360-degree stereoscopic cinematic screen with sensory technology.
