In Milan, The Blake Works<\/em> tests both company and audience with its austere logic of movement, revealing skill while withholding warmth and emotional payoff<\/strong><\/h5>\n

by Alessandro BIZZOTTO<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/strong>It almost feels sacrilegious to withhold instant veneration from William\u202fForsythe<\/strong>. But at Teatro alla<\/strong> Scala<\/strong>, in the William Forsythe Evening<\/em><\/strong>, The Blake Works<\/em><\/strong> unfolds as architecture in motion rather than spectacle, demanding a recalibrated gaze rather than awe. The collision between post\u2011classical movement and contemporary sound \u2013 fragmented, unsettling \u2013 remains challenging. Yet here, it finds a distilled coherence: a choreography reined in, sharpened, capable of twisting familiar ballet grammar into something at once austere and alive.<\/p>\n

The evening begins with Prologue<\/em><\/strong>, a skeletal invocation in which dancers inhabit space like breath hallucinating geometry. Lines stretch, contract, pause; silence becomes weight, bodies become architecture. There is no romanticism, no flourish \u2013 only tension, leverage, the body contorting itself into new angles. The effect is visceral, demanding: not a surrender to beauty, but an engagement with form as an instrument of disruption. Yet dancer Francesco<\/strong> Mascia<\/strong> seems able to bring an honest passion to the piece.
