The new short movie “INSPIRED BY THE CLASSIC, MOVED BY THE FUTURE” offers an extraordinary journey through space and time, channeling the immortal beauty of the classic to a dynamic and enthusiastic future.
This piece of art, developed by director Carlo Guttadauro, transforms Villa Contarini in a scenic labyrinth where classic melts with contemporary.
The short movie invites us through ballet and parkour to discover the touching point of inspiration and action, revealing that the classic is the springboard for a futuristic vision. This meeting point creates a sperimenting and innovation space, showing that the inspiration drawn by the classic becomes the engine for a dynamic and futuristic action. In this bond, the short movie explores the creative tension between the inspiring past and the future driving the action, suggesting that the timeless beauty manifests itself in the fusion of these two elements.
The protagonist of this evocative journey is Virna Toppi, prima ballerina of Alla Scala Theatre in Milan. With her gracious moviments and ability, Virna dances in the Mirror Room in Villa Contarini, lighted by metaphysical lights, creating the perfect bond between classic and contemporary. The movie invites us to reflect on the concept of inspiration, that is the epiphany of beauty, when it turns on our enthusiasm.
The choice of Virna Toppi is not casual: her armonious gesture and the gracious moviments of her body embody the beauty of ballet, that becomes a source for inspiration. The Mirror Room becomes the stage where classic appears sinuous and sensual, with curves and creases that release an armonious energy, a variation on the pace that gives back the beauty as grace in movement.
Next to Virna appears the traceur Davide Garzetti. From a plastered door, struck, he observes the dance, introducing a non-classical element that nurtures itself from classic. The short movie explores the border between ballet and parkour, creating an exclusive and mysterious space for the characters. The combination of these two arts adds shades and innovation to the project.
The protagonists travel through iconic locations, like Venice and Giudecca. Here there is a surprising aesthetic transformation: the ballerina transforms into a black swan. Designer Salvatore Vignola adds to this metamorphosis a black tutu covered on paillettes that reflect light, emphasizing the movements of the ballerina. The hair and make up by Cinzia Trifiletti adds a gritty and gothic touch.
The short movie climaxes on an iron bridge in Giudecca, where borders disappear and the protagonists are free from any scheme and can celebrate a secret pact. The fusion between classic and contemporary becomes clear, underlined by the toast with Prosecco DOC on a terrace on the Canal Grande.
Prosecco DOC bubbles, refined symbol, know the power of a dreamful euphoria that gives pure and light moments.
The short movie becomes a visual representation of the Prosecco DOC philosophy: a modern jump that finds its roots in the past and its sperimentations in the future. Without any doubt, it’s through these sperimations that it becomes possible to fully comprehend and appreciate the intrinsecal beauty of Prosecco DOC.
