Alexei Ratmansky is a world star of contemporary ballet. From his hometown of St. Petersburg he made his way through the Moscow Bolshoi Ballet, whose director he became in 2004, to New York, where he has shaped the American Ballet Theater as Artist in Residence since 2009. His »24 Preludes« - choreographed for the Royal Ballet London in 2013 - are a ›Ballet of Mood‹ in which eight dancers develop the full range of emotional relationships in a gorgeous way. But they also pay homage to 20th century British dance: to the expressiveness of Antony Tudor and the elegant lyricism of Frederik Ashton.
Andrey Kaydanovskiy is a dancer with the Vienna State Ballet and has long been a sought-after choreographer. After his first Viennese work, he created his own pieces for the Bolshoi Ballet and Stanislawski-Nemirowitsch Danchenko Musiktheater Moscow, the Czech National Ballet and the Bavarian State Ballet in Munich. Now he is looking to meet the composer Christof Dienz. The versatile musician - including founder of the Tyrolean neo-folk music jazz octet Knoedel - balances in his work in a fascinating way between the styles for music that is "intuitive and physical". Kaydanovskiy allows two principles to clash in his choreography: reality and fantasy, concrete and abstraction, embodied by an artist and his muse - an encounter that points to the open.
Martin Schläpfer calls his world premiere of Beethoven's 4th Piano Concerto “transformed into sun” - music in which the director and chief choreographer of the Vienna State Ballet sees images full of warmth and softness: “Harmonious, but not peaceful, knowing but not dominating, calm down , but not quiet, flowing, but not urging: like a broad stream just before it flows into the lake, like the evening sun that turns a clearing into gold and takes away the narrowness and darkness of the forest, although its trunks are close together. Centimeters turn into meters, danger into opportunity «- says Martin Schläpfer.
