Sasha Waltz & Guests

演出简介



The German choreographer Sasha Waltz and her company have become one of Europe's most famous and dynamic hubs of creativity.

 

After developing her own personal choreographic idiom at the Schaubühne am Lehniner Platz in Berlin, she launched projects that were a blend of different genres, such as opera and drama. These gave rise to such spectacular and widely acclaimed productions as Dido & Aeneas and Medea. "Impromptus" premiered at the prestigious Schaubühne in 2004, before her company became independent and embarked on new artistic paths. It was the first of her works to draw inspiration entirely from the compositional structure of classical music.

 

The seven dancers and choreographers explore the innermost recesses of German Romanticism to the live accompaniment of Franz Schubert's music. Their dancing is divested of everything superfluous in an effort to create and reflect states of pure emotion. These manifest themselves on stage in movements that express the ethereal from a contemporary viewpoint. The works of Sasha Waltz research the beauty and vulnerability of the human body.  Her approach generates physically demanding, electric, eloquent movements that convey everything that identifies us as human beings.

 

Witness the innovative artistry of one of Europe's most important contemporary choreographers, in the splendid Gran Teatre del Liceu in Barcelona.
