On Friday 5th July, the Italian company of contemporary dance and physical theatre very loved by the public, Kataklò, will be back at Arena del Teatro Sociale di Como, in Festival Como Città della Musica 2024. The dancers will perform an Italian exclusive in the show Suite, a tribute to Italian culture and music. Confronting the most famous operatic arias, but also the most irreverent pop music, ranging from Rossini to Celentano, winking at contemporary electronics as well as retro jazz, the company immerses itself in solos, duets and choral moments, all united by the taste, athleticism and energy that characterise Kataklò's work.

downtown, framed in the magic atmosphere at the Arena

Festival Como City of Music reaches its seventeenth edition, always directed and organized by Theatre Sociale Como-AsLiCo, in collaboration with Società dei Palchettisti and with the contribution of the Municipality of Como, with the shared idea that the culture has a fundamental role in the development of the city, both for citizens and tourists.
The title this year, as tradition, is taken from the participative opera of the Teatro Sociale that will inaugurate the Festival: Dilegua o notte! are in fact words from Calaf during the Nessun dorma.

Italian exclusive
The first Italian Physical Theatre company, directed by Giulia Staccioli, takes the audience on an immersive journey inside a refined Grand Hotel with elegant Italian taste.
Moving from the office to the airport, from the hall to the gala dinner, the Company plays with every nuance of the term Suite to tell of an escape from everyday life that leads to a suspended place, where music, colours and atmospheres come together to give life to an original and varied composition. As in a well-tuned orchestra, the assortment of singularities is transformed into a rich and complex concert in which paintings with different flavours follow one another.
Conceived for an international audience, the show pays homage to Italian culture and music: taking on the most famous opera arias, but also with the most irreverent pop music, ranging from Rossini to Celentano, winking at contemporary electronics as well as jazz retro, the company immerses itself in solos, duets, and choral moments, all united by the taste, athleticism and energy that distinguish Kataklò's work.
With sensitivity, irony and originality, Suite confirms the calibre of an established company known for being an ambassador of Made in Italy in the world.
In case of rain or unfavorable weather, Arena performances will be held on the same evening at Teatro Sociale di Como, without sets. Each seating area of the Arena has a corresponding seating sector in the Theatre.
The events of Around the Festival are free.
