Stories in miniature tell of togetherness and opposition, of freedom and dependency, attachment and separation, devotion and division - sometimes full of existential force, sometimes full of delicately spun poetry, sometimes full of joie de vivre.
"As a ballet about the difficulty of loving and about our need to often desire and dream more or something different than we are able to achieve," Martin Schläpfer describes his Third Piano Concerto: a touching dance full of nuances that touches the human soul in all revealed their shades, choreographed to Alfred Schnittke's grandiose concerto for piano and string orchestra, music like a "bottleneck for the entire, so diverse world".
Karole Armitage is one of the most dazzling figures in American dance. She has worked with George Balanchine, Merce Cunningham and on Broadway, began choreographing at the invitation of Mikhail Baryshnikov and Rudolf Nureyev and created – initially associated with “punk” – versatile connections between dance, visual arts, poetry and music. In recent years she has increasingly penetrated into philosophical questions of humanity. This is also the case in the Ligeti Essays, which arose from an intensive examination of three song cycles by György Ligeti: poetic nocturnal metaphors about human encounters.
Paul Taylor created a homage to spring with Dandelion Wine. To a violin concerto by the baroque virtuoso Pietro Locatelli, the important modern dance artist unfolds a cheerful roundelay of ever new connections between the dancers, full of breathtaking leaps and ingenious carefreeness. "A hit, a joyous ode to life (...), one of Taylor's most sparkling works," wrote Anna Kisselgoff in The New York Times.
