Satiri (Satyrs) is a powerful and poetic dance performance created by renowned Italian choreographer Virgilio Sieni. On stage, two talented dancers - Jari Boldrini and Maurizio Giunti - move with intensity and emotion, accompanied by live music. Cellist Naomi Berrill plays works by Johann Sebastian Bach and her own original pieces, filling the space with sound and atmosphere.

The show is inspired by the ancient myth of the Satyr - a wild, mysterious creature who dares to face the dark side of life with energy and joy. The dancers throw themselves into this idea, using their bodies to explore emotions, tension and beauty. It's not just about dance - it's about expressing human resilience and depth, connecting myth to modern experience through dance and music.

Satiri creates forms of understanding and empathy that explode into something between the Dionysiac and the Apollonian. The movement draws on postures from everyday life, which reemerge in the form of another language – not form in motion, but the body that morphs in a dream-like nebula, attentive to the spatial tactility that surrounds us.

Satiri invites you to see dance in a new way: as a mix of movement, light, music, and space that speaks to your feelings and your imagination. It’s about getting lost in the moment and discovering something meaningful.

“What is fascinating… is the dance’s capacity not so much to tell stories as to take the audience by the hand and lead them to reflect on the wondrous and overwhelming complexity of human experience” - Paolo Randazzo, Gli Stati generali

“Virgilio Sieni… chooses this semi-divine being of the woods, half man and half goat, to represent the triumph of the human” - Barbara Berti, La Nazione

“Blending civilization and nature, moving along the edges of appearance, Virgilio Sieni, maestro of gesture and meaning, plunges assertively into the recesses of thought, lending shape to a collective metamorphosis” - Lula Abicca, Sipario
