Mozart_Requiem: Selig sind die Toten

In the organizer's words:

Mozart's Requiem evokes the emotional moments and abysses of human existence in the face of death with great expressiveness - it describes a scene of borderline states, a waiting room and a place of passage to another world. This place may not be a place of longing, but Mozart poses musical questions about life, about humanity, about the tenderness and fragility of love and relationships and about the fragility of societies. His music reveals itself as an appeal to life. Choreographer Antonio Ruz responds to this and encourages us in his choreography to engage with death while we are still alive, to look it in the eye in order to be able to accept life. Antonio Ruz himself experienced the loss of a loved one last year and describes in his choreography the infinite number of emotions that can be associated with the death of a person: Gestures, looks, hugs, as well as the feelings of fear and empathy, loneliness and rejection, emptiness, anger and pain. How can all this be translated into choreography, into movement?
