It was a pairing waiting to happen! The great choreographer Anne Teresa De Keersmaeker has turned her attention to Johann Sebastian Bach’s Goldberg Variations. Repetition and variation are the two defining parameters of this radically resolute composition published in 1741.

Five scarecrows miss the birds, which have all disappeared. Rendered redundant, the scarecrows focus on doing radio instead, and together they discuss potential forthcoming broadcasts.

After the stunning Euripides experience Bacantes – Prelúdio para uma Purga, choreographer Marlene Monteiro Freitas returns to Vienna with her new and long-awaited production: Mal – Embriaguez Divina, which roots around the realm of evil. Bearing in mind that ‘evil’ is a narrow translation of the Portuguese ‘mal’.

Like Versuch über das Sterben (Attempt on Dying), Boris Nikitin’s new work 24 Bilder pro Sekunde (24 frames per second) is based on his reflections on vulnerability, not as a shortcoming, but as an ability. This time he swaps words for music and dance. When bodies are no longer under control, motion becomes random.
