Cristiana Morganti offers us a tantalising glimpse into her career, from her classical ballet training to her fateful meeting with Pina Bausch.

“Do you want me to dance, or do you want me to talk?”

In Jessica and Me, the long-standing soloist of the iconic Pina Bausch Tanztheater Wuppertal does both with irresistible charm, talent and comic flair. This solo show is a self-portrait in two voices: her inner self (Cristiana) and her alter-ego (Jessica). A fascinating exposé on the life of a star dancer.

"Dancer and actress of irresistible talent and comic vitality, Cristiana Morganti merges the fury of a Mediterranean virago with the wide-eyed innocence of a clown. In this performance, she sets herself to play with the theatrical concept of "Inside" and "Outside", at times losing herself in the sheer whirlwind of movement, and at times stepping out of the spectacle to observe herself with fierce and unrelenting humor." Leonetta Bentivoglio (il Venerdì di Repubblica)
