Torino 2006 OC - Roberto Bolle, Ballet and Martial Arts

This clip highlights the ballet dancing of Roberto Bolle. He brings this whole overall scene "from futurism to the future." In his first act, he dances "like a futurist mechanically" with a statue made by Umberto Boccioni. He was part of the Italian avant-garde movement, which was started in 1909. Italy, Russia and France are the main nations in the world that specialize in ballet dance. Next, he changes costume to look like "a hero of the future", with a heart and veins. Along with him, six huge ballet-dancer sculptures (with 11 ballerinas underneath each) come out onto the stage. The techno music here is choreographed by Canadian Richie Haughton (spelling?) of Windsor, Ontario. The whole scene was choreographed by Enzo Cosimi. After that, martial artists do their thing (remotely like the way of the Seoul 1988 opening ceremony) to symbolize "the futuristic army." I am not sure what kind of martial art they were doing. Finally, a "motorbike" pulled by bodybuilders comes out, with Roberto Bolle in the "driver's seat."
