"What does paradise cost and who has to pay for it?" asks Belgian choreographer Stina Quagebeur in her new creation "Omelas", which is based on a dystopian fictional short story by Ursula K. Le Guin.
Intuitive and urgent, in a structure of organ sound and orchestral storm, abstract and narrative at the same time, she creates a journey at the pulse of our time.
We are celebrating Glen Tetley's 100th birthday with a dance classic. "Voluntaries" (1973) is a combination of ballet and modern dance that demonstrates Tetley's unique style. Inspired by the Latin "volare" - "to fly" - episodes of floating bodies are created, propelled by the sinuous melodies of the organ and the urgent rhythms of the timpani in the music.
Goyo Montero's "Aurea" refers to the natural and artistic harmony principle of the golden ratio. In his search for the perfect form and movement - beauty itself - the Spanish choreographer draws on Bach's musically and mathematically "perfect" work "Passacaglia" in combination with a composition by Owen Belton.
