“If a scent is enough to return to breathing, we only need a breath to return to dancing”.

Back to DanceBack to Dance is the show with which Kataklò Athletic Dance Theatre celebrated its return to the stage in 2021 after the forced closure of theaters.

Giulia Staccioli, together with the active artistic contribution of the six dancers on stage, signs a show that juxtaposes unreleased and repertory fragments, the standard-bearer of a message of hope: let's pick up all the pieces, let's rebuild, let's regenerate, let's show ourselves as new, but always true to ourselves. In short, let us return to dance!

The idea of return becomes a common thread for all artistic choices, and so the costumes, repurposed and revamped from old productions, pursue the same ideal of recovery.

Back to Dance takes place in a unique time that addresses four different stages: humanity, mythology, heroism and lightness.
