LO SCHIACCIANOCI

Here's the translation of the provided Italian text to English:

On Saturday, December 28th, at 7:00 PM, the Tasso Theatre in Sorrento will raise the curtain to host one of the most beautiful Christmas tales: "The Nutcracker." As stated by the Culture Councillor Rossella Di Leva, this event aims "to enrich the program of the 16th edition of the festival M’Illumino d’Inverno with a new light, that of dance."

The event, sponsored by the City of Sorrento and strongly supported by Mayor Massimo Coppola, is free of charge until all seats are filled.

"The Nutcracker," with choreography by Luigi Martelletta and music by Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky, is a metaphor for the growth of the little girl who becomes an adolescent in her dream. The choreographer will offer a reinterpretation focusing on the mother and Clara, representing Clara's transformation in a consistent and linear way. Symbols, such as the staircase to the sky, will be used to depict adversity and elevation, all while conveying absolute serenity, fully realized in the final scene where the development of the girl's adult personality is evident as she embarks on life, self-aware and conscious of her possibilities.

The work has been an exhilarating experience for the company and the dancers. In this performance, the three expressive genres of theater—dance, sound, and words—have explored a space once again represented by the privileged dimensions of choreography.

The meticulous attention to detail, precise cleanliness, and the decision to work with a wide range of dancers, both Italian and foreign, allowed each artist to view the body as a container that takes shape through movement, discovering that the body is both form and content at the same time, and its form is content.
