    Renowned production from Berlin’s Stattsballett debuts on the big screen at Fisher Theatre

    logo_SIFFSedona AZ (February 10, 2013) – The Sedona International Film Festival presents Ballet in Cinema on Monday, Feb. 18 when it hosts the big screen premiere of “Caravaggio” from the famed Stattsballett in Berlin. There will be one show at 4:00 p.m. at the festival’s Mary D. Fisher Theatre.

    Principle dancer Vladimir Malakhov leads the Stattsballett Berlin in this production of Claudio Monteverdi’s ballet “Caravaggio”, as adapted by Italian composer Bruno Moretti and choreographed by his creative partner, Mauro Bigonzetti. The Staatskapelle Berlin performs the music under the direction of conductor Paul Connelly.

    20130210_Caravaggio_11“Caravaggio” is a tapestry of dances woven together to reflect the live, work and paintings of Caravaggio — born Michelangelo Merisi. His paintings of dramatic intensity have earned him a place in history. Caravaggio used to venture the threshold beyond the pale throughout his life. He was admired for his extraordinary realism in painting human beings. The dances in “Caravaggio” reflect this extraordinary realism. His passionate personality comes through in the dancers and the epic, grand production that bears his name.

    One of his foremost artistic twists was the extreme contrast between brightness and darkness, light and shadow. Mauro Bigonzetti — one of the leading choreographers of the Italian ballet —created the choreography that draws upon this contrast and brings extraordinary drama to the production.

    “Caravaggio” will be shown at the Mary D. Fisher Theatre on one day only: Monday, Feb. 18 at 4:00 p.m. Tickets are $15, or $12.50 for Film Festival members. Tickets are available in advance at the Sedona International Film Festival office or by calling 282-1177. Both the theatre and film festival office are located at 2030 W. Hwy. 89A, in West Sedona.

    The Symbolism of Jan. 6

    By Tommy Acosta
    Don’t mess with symbols. Just ask author Dan Brown’s character Robert Landon. The worth of symbols cannot be measured. Symbols make the world-go-round. Symbols carry the weight of a thousand words and meanings. Symbols represent reality boiled down to the bone. Symbols evoke profound emotions and memories—at a very primal level of our being—often without our making rational or conscious connections. They fuel our imagination. Symbols enable us to access aspects of our existence that cannot be accessed in any other way. Symbols are used in all facets of human endeavor. One can only feel sorry for those who cannot comprehend the government’s response to the breech of the capital on January 6, with many, even pundits, claiming it was only a peaceful occupation. Regardless if one sees January 6 as a full-scale riot/insurrection or simply patriotic Americans demonstrating as is their right, the fact is the individuals involved went against a symbol, and this could not be allowed or go unpunished.
