Balletto Civile is characterized by its search for a "total" scenic language by privileging the interaction between theater, dance and original live singing. The company has received several awards for its work including the ANCT Prize, Premio Internazionale Roma Danza, Premio Hystrio Corpo a Corpo, Premio Danza&Danza and Premio Rete Critica. Balletto Civile fully espouses the Festival's urgency to propose an idea of popular theater and deep local involvement and to stimulate true creative intelligence in repurposing its works into site-specific situations.

Rage is a danced exploration of anger and fury.

Fury [from Latin furia] Def. – A state of intense agitation provoked by anger, usually short-lived, manifesting through violent actions and words.

The idea for Rage was born after attending the Travis Scott concert on August 8, 2023, at the Circus Maximus in Rome (IT). Inspired by that event, Rage removes the scenic barrier between performer and audience. Everyone shares the same space, immersed in the action—equal—hoping to lead the audience toward a release from rage through rage.
This research explores the physical expression of anger, investigating its many nuances, and develops an in-depth musical dramaturgy to guide the different shades of rage.
