New. Abstract. Urban.
Ballet director and chief choreographer Demis Volpi is working on his last creation in this function for the Ballett am Rhein to Heiner Goebbels' composition "Surrogate Cities", which breaks down rules and forms. Together with his dancers and his team, he is embarking on a journey to an evening-length abstract ballet, inspired by the multicoloured sounds and the powerful wealth of ideas of Heiner Goebbels' work: "Surrogate Cities" traces a metropolitan attitude to life and exposes us to the metropolis as a space of existence in all its extreme contradictions.
