Kalei­dos­kop

A kaleidoscope is a colourful, varied, stimulating mixture of something that is characterized by constantly changing colors, shapes and impressions.

Moto Perpetuo (UA)
The choreographer duo Iratxe Ansa and Igor Bacovich explore the perpetual motion and transience of time. Under the title “Moto Perpetuo” - perpetual motion - they develop their own physical language, which emerges from intuition together with the dancers in interaction with stage elements and light, inspired by the symmetries and circular movements in the music of Philip Glass.

Invocation (UA)
For his creation, South African choreographer Mthuthuzeli November draws inspiration from the sounds, tones and rhythms of his homeland in the Eastern Cape. The “calling” into the interior of a person, a form, a state and the resulting echo in music and movement bears strong autobiographical traits. Starting from the choreographer's family home and his memories of the music of this place, he leads the audience into a world of its own.

Vers un Pays Sage (1995)
"Vers un Pays Sage” (1995) by French choreographer Jean-Christophe Maillot looks like a watercolor painting in shades of red, green and yellow under the warm southern French sun. Dance is dialog - between bodies. Driven by the fast-paced music of John Adams' “Fearful Symmetries”, this moving dialog between cutting-edge dance and expressive modernism, lively and full of energy, is a homage to Maillot's father, the painter Jean Maillot.
