NEW WORLD (URAUFFÜHRUNG) Robert Binet
In the moment the universe was created the elements collide. Fire, water, earth and air mingle in an explosive tension between light and darkness. The Canadian Robert Binet has chosen three pieces by Nico Muhly as his inspiration for “New World”. The New York-based composer has already worked together with Björk and Philip Glass while simultaneously establishing himself on the music scene in his own right. The atmospheric landscapes evoked by his compositions “Four Studies”, “Honest Music” and “Quiet Music” furnish Robert Binet with the basis for a piece that fuses the extraordinary story of the creation of the universe with contemporary reality. Robert Binet is one of the most promising emerging talents of his generation. He was Choreographic Apprentice at Royal Ballet in London for 2012/13 and his currently work includes the post of Choreographic Associate at the National Ballet of Canada.

THE WAY EVER LASTING (URAUFFÜHRUNG) Natalia Horecna
Her choreographies are not abstract compositions of movement. She has created pieces about wars and mental abuse, about lost children and outsiders. With her work Natalia Horecna occupies a position in the midst of life, however, she is also consistently concerned with the search for spiritual exaltation. Following the world premiere “Wounded Angel” in b.30 the Bratislava-born artist returns to Düsseldorf with “The Way Ever Lasting”. “Like a path that will never end”, is how she describes her search for balance that provides the theme for her new dance piece – for an equilibrium between good and evil, between right and wrong, without whose contingency nothing positive can be created, “good things cannot be recognized, felt, lived, enjoyed”, in the words of the choreographer who attempts to advance through space enquiring with “the eyes of the heart” that lie behind the visible world and are capable of opening up unimagined freedom.

FANTAISIES (URAUFFÜHRUNG) Remus Şucheană
As if from another world the music drifts over towards us – and on the dance stage it opens a gateway into a realm full of fantastic creatures and magical atmospheres like a midsummer night’s dream, but also full of mysterious and dangerous darkness. Bohuslav Martinů’s 6th Symphony, composed between 1951 and 1953 and subtitled “Fantaisies symphoniques”, has preoccupied the choreographer Remus Şucheană for many years. Now he has chosen it as the basis for his latest work: “When I was looking for a piece of music for my very first choreography I hit upon Martinů’s “Sixth” and immediately knew that I wanted to explore it in a ballet. Its world filled with different levels of colour grabbed hold of me directly. It is music that instantly makes me feel emotions, see steps and movements: a solo, a group.” Remus Şucheană has been Director of the Ballett am Rhein since 2016/17. With “Fantaisies” he presents his third work as a choreographer.
