HELLO AND WELCOME!
Chief Choreographer Bridget Breiner and Ballet Director Raphaël Coumes-Marquet will take over the direction of Ballett am Rhein at the start of the 2024/25 season. Bridget Breiner and Raphaël Coumes-Marquet both look back on long careers as dancers in classical and contemporary dance from Stuttgart to Dresden, Munich to Paris.
The dancers are at the heart of their work. Because the beginning of every work of art lies in the dancer's body itself and in its ability to tell stories and convey feelings and states. Their vision of dance is always based on the diverse use of ballet technique: the dancer's body becomes the instrument of the idea behind the choreography and releases the creative energy of each individual. This opens up new dimensions of movement diversity, combining technical brilliance with a strong inwardness and desire for movement.

The 2024/25 season presents itself as a colorful and diverse season that shows the character of various concise signatures of established as well as emerging artists. The tradition of bringing vibrant creativity to the stage will be continued and the repertoire celebrated at the same time. In addition to classics by Hans van Manen, with David Dawson and Jean-Christophe Maillot, two choreographers come to Düsseldorf who have been very influential for both Bridget Breiner and Raphaël Coumes-Marquet's artistic path and have always been a source of inspiration with their technically and aesthetically demanding works. Up-and-coming artists such as choreographer Mthuthuzeli November or the choreographer duo Iratxe Ansa and Igor Bacovich, with their powerful creations that oscillate between dance, theater and visual art, also enrich the repertoire. At the end of the season, Richard Siegal and Bridget Breiner will explore their own artistic paths and think ahead together to the music of Maurice Ravel.
Everything is immediate and exciting. Be a part of it!
