Cantata

About

CANTATA is a ballet choreographed by Mauro Bigonzetti and presented by TKOBAP as a touring production after its premiere at the national opera and ballet theatre. For this event, the production travels to the historic Kalaja e Gjirokastrës for one performance on 15 July 2025. The sound component is credited to the group Assurd and is associated with the musical traditions of Southern Italy. The event-specific credits name Vincenzo Capezzuto as assistant choreographer, Helena Medeiros for costumes, and Carlo Cerri for stage lighting. The available production concept connects movement and music with Southern Italian roots, feelings, and human relationships. The performance is also presented in the context of the 20th anniversary of Gjirokastra's recognition as part of the UNESCO World Heritage context. No director, set designer, or individual dancer is named in the event-specific sources.
