Dreischritt

In the organizer's words:

Choreographies by Stijn Celis, Hans van Manen and Johan Inger | Music by Ibrahim Maalouf, Amos Ben-Tal, Henryk Górecki and John Adams

At last, the Saarland State Ballet has a ballet by Hans van Manen in its repertoire! This is indeed something special, because the Dutch choreographer, who is now 92 years old, is celebrated worldwide as one of the greats of his profession - his oeuvre is now considered timeless. With "Polish Pieces" to music by Henryk Górecki, Hans van Manen gives the Saarländisches Staatsballett an extremely lively, almost sparkling work, in which the colorful costumes add an additional highlight.

In the middle section of the new three-part evening "Dreischritt", a world premiere can be experienced. Ballet director Stijn Celis creates his new choreography "Falling into" (music by John Adams) in close dialog with a work by the internationally acclaimed Japanese artist Chiharu Shiota. Countless red threads form the stage set - this will be a visual delight.

To conclude the program, Johan Inger returns to Saarbrücken: with "IMPASSE", the Saarland State Ballet will dance one of his more recent abstract pieces and conjure up an exuberant joie de vivre on stage to music by Lebanese trumpeter Ibrahim Maalouf.
