Straight from Quebec, five acrobats and musicians amaze with their breath-taking and hilarious acts, be it on the Chinese pole, Korean seesaw, unicycle or fireworks. This whirlwind of action comes together in a cheeky story, in which our five muscular rascals play survivors in a world without women and technology. Their mission becomes apparent right away: finding other survivors. It will be dangerous, but fun at the same time. It almost makes you wish the end of the world were to happen tomorrow.
A revelation. Critically acclaimed Taiwanese choreographer Po-Cheng Tsai combines martial arts with traditional and urban gestures. Timeless, a delicate and poetic piece, celebrates powerful women. Unfolding more like a Japanese thriller, Rage alternates between eruptive and restrained moments. Next to the perfection of movement, the two pieces share elegance, coherence, strength and above all one conviction: solitude may ravage and consume, provoke distress and the feeling of powerlessness, but it also teaches us to find within ourselves a sanctuary.
For it’s second concert of the season, the Harmonie Municipale Esch/Alzette gives a glimpse into their musical programme for the World Expo in Dubai 2020. Compositions of Verdi and Strauss meet Claude François’s chansons and Ennio Morricone’s western symphonies. The second part of the evening is reserved for the youth orchestra and their new conductor Véronique Bernar.
Melanie Florschütz und Michael Döhnert are famous for their ability to create exciting new possibilities with things, objects, music and light. Big Box is about a box on stage. A box? Or is it a giant package? Or a phone booth, an elevator, a workshop, a changing room? Endless possibilities that surprise and fascinate young audiences. When objects magically move, new worlds appear. This is object poetry that helps us interrogate and sharpen our gaze and makes the seemingly impossible possible.
The boxing ring becomes a stage for dancers who take turns in fighting and reconciling – all to the live music of the Debussy Quartet. In each round the violins drive the dancers’ steps, from airy capoeira to rhythmic hip-hop. Breathtaking! Following on from the popular success of Boxe Boxe (performed to an audience of 130,000 spectators), Mourad Merzouki once again puts on his boxing gloves to create a universe in which poetry and humour, classic music and Brazilian dance all join together.
He is looking for the perfect, neat organization; she is longing for the lightness of altitude. In order to reach their goals, both need the help of the other. Conflicts are foreordained with this odd couple. Maliciously, tactically and lovingly, each of them meddles with the reality of the other. They wrangle, irritate and love. The resulting conflicts will be solved creatively and spectacularly. Jonas and Esther Slanzi have created a genre-crossing performance that amazes the audience with a combination of airiness, acrobatics, tricks and theatre.
Three clowns wander, without a job and without shelter, through a world that no longer has a place for them. Being clowns, they manage to give even this bleak atmosphere a special humour. Our three anti-heroes show that clowns can still make us laugh today. With their tragi-comedy about the end of a time in which a clown could be sure of provoking the benign laughter of society, Leandre Ribera and the La Tal company commemorate the red noses and simultaneously revive them in a completely new form.
The (good) philosophy of the tatami. Two men are eyeing up, fighting each other and showing off in this athletic and artistic performance. Nobody gets hurt though. These fighting dancers respect each other and their warrior rituals reconnect with fundamental instincts such as openness and emancipation. Go ! combines humor, sensuality and explosiveness and articulates a common thread between dance and martial arts: the perfection and beauty of movement.
To start the new year with a bang, Gast Waltzing connects two different worlds: on the one hand the classic orchestra Estro Armonico, and hip hop dancers and rappers on the other (EDSUN, Maya Maunet, Maz…). Luxembourgish composer Waltzing accepts this challenge and manages to fuse these music and performance styles and simultaneously defies stereotypes. How better to start the new year that with the message that music unites us all?
With this new show, Jean-Claude Gallotta pays tribute to his New York mentor Merce Cunningham. During three different segments, which are interspersed by solos of the choreographer himself, ten dancers present a succession of duos and ensemble work to the sound explorations of Rodolphe Burger, long-term guitarist of Alain Bashung. The performance celebrates the urge to live. This is dancing at its roots: fiery, free and joyful.
