The Ballets of Susanna Egri, during all its existence, stopped in 1992, carried out an intense and widespread activity on the national and international field, with tours in Germany, Denmark, France, Czechoslovakia, Portugal, as well as several Collaborations with Birgit Cullberg and her Company in Sweden. In 1998, after six years of break, Susanna Egri recognized in her disciple Raphael Bianco, after years active as a dancer in several foreign companies (and graduated as a choreographer at the University of Dance), the ideal collaborator for the creation of a new Company. “We are both persuaded of the necessity to create a different company, aiming to deepen through the dance a more intimate exploration of the human soul, as a bridge at the dawn of the third millennium, between the recent past and the near future. To this purpose, Raphael Bianco leaves the French National Company, which he was active during four years, to share with me the risk of this new adventure. ” (S.E.).
