The orchestra concert season is currently on a break and for the next few months, classical music performances will be scarce. But that doesn’t mean that there won’t be anything to see in here. In fact, I use this opportunity to broaden my horizons and to experience new things by watching other cultural performances. And now, it’s time for me to expand my horizons in dance via Italy’s Le Supplici. This contemporary dance company will have a free one night performance at the Cultural Center of the Philippines’ Tanghalang Aurelio Tolentino (CCP Little Theater) on May 23, 2012 at 8:00 PM. They will also conduct a workshop on May 24-26, 2012 from 3:00 PM up to 7:00 PM at the Myra Beltran Dance Forum Studio.

The group will perform Cartografia Disabitata (Uninhabited Cartography) choreographed by Fabrizio Favale who is the founder of Le Supplici. And about a month later, a couple of films, Roccu and Un ricamo fatto sul nulla, featuring the choreography of Favali and performed by Le Supplici, will be shown at the University of the Philippines on June 28, 2012.


Le Supplici is the second of the handful of dance companies coming here this season to perform and conduct workshops and Trey McIntyre Project from the USA was the first. I failed to catch the performance of TMP but I was present during the welcome reception for them. I felt bad for missing a lot during their visit here but now, nothing is stopping me from seeing Le Supplici. This project is presented by the Embassy of Italy and the Cultural Center of the Philippines so I am expected to be always there given that I enjoy good relationships with both institutions.
