Aerial straps, trapeze, Cyr wheel, juggling and somersaults: ten artists from South Africa let loose in a display of liberating, acrobatic and colourful élan. Moya celebrates the footwork of two dances full of life and hope, performed in protest against apartheid: gumboot, inherited from the slaves who beat their rubber boots in the mines, and pantsula, a kind of house dance born in the black ghettos of Johannesburg. On a world tour, the Zip Zap company puts its boots back on and twirls, with an insane energy, between contemporary circus and South African melting pot.
And here we go again. Gast Waltzing opens the year with a concert in which styles intersect and reinvent themselves. The conductor will have the Estro Armonico Luxembourg Chamber orchestra on his right, and, on his left, Ivorian singer Dobet Gnahoré and her musicians. With her powerful voice and impressive stage presence, this Grammy winner draws her inspiration from the creative energy of Abidjan, borrowing from Manding melodies, Zairean rumba, Ivorian ziglibiti and Cameroonian bikutsi. A concert with modern and traditional pan-African sounds, which promises a great moment of sharing.

Lia Rodrigues, a leading figure in committed contemporary dance, works with her company in the heart of the Maré favela in Rio de Janeiro. With an irresistible collective strength, her shows often feature dancers covered in fabric or plastic materials or nude, bound indissolubly together by an intense and fervent closeness. Borda is more than ever in this vein. Dance here counters walls and rejection, through a universal community eager for movement, sharing and new horizons. Are borders an illusion?
It was in the zambras of Sacromonte, a series of caves in the Gypsy quarter of Granada, that Fuensanta La Moneta learned her art, like so many other great names in flamenco. In three tableaux featuring styles such as seguiriya, soleá and tango, Vínculos celebrates the links between the music of composer Mauricio Sotelo, a long-time companion of the Andalusian artist, and the wild and intimate dance she cherishes. At once present and very much elsewhere, in a place chosen by her alone, where she does not have to answer to anyone, La Moneta presents a flamenco of incandescent beauty, impossible to possess.
As part of the FlamencoFestival Esch.
Once upon a time, there was a hunchback named Diego, consumed with love for Giralda. He lived in the shadow of a bell tower, hidden among the gargoyles. Was his hump an obstacle? On the contrary, he used it to dance every night, under the stars and for Giralda … An adept of an inclusive style of flamenco, Sevillian choreographer José Galan blends the Middle Ages – its wonder and its legends – with guitar, castanets and Andalusian ruffle dresses. El Jorobado de Sevilla conveys a joyful and enchanting flamenco, that is also a formidable call to respect for difference.

Mythological, medieval and fantastic, legends and fairy tales span the centuries. They carry timeless values … and majestic sonorities! The Harmonie Municipale Esch-sur-Alzette sets out to rediscover these compositions that capture the imagination. A story written and told by Luxembourgish storyteller François Conrad will be combined with music inspired by legendary accounts, before the instruments sound Johan de Meij’s melodies from J.R.R. Tolkien’s Lord of the Rings trilogy.
Going against conventions, debunking habits, and playing with instruments both possible and impossible. This overt audacity is Louisa Marxen’s driving force. In Timepieces, cymbals and drums are accompanied by curious objects: a clock, mortar shell casings from the Second World War and even a bag packed with multicoloured ping-pong balls. Against a backdrop of original compositions by Catherine Kontz and Louis Andriessen, among others, the Luxembourgish musician performs magnificent combinations. Rhythms and percussion offer a one-of-a-kind sound experience that encourages us to reflect differently on our notion of time.
A world figure of contemporary dance, Po-Cheng Tsai draws on traditional Asian movements and martial arts. Combining bonding, suspensions, shivers and breaks, CRACK plunges 13 extraordinarily virtuosic dancers into the torments of a break-up. When a relationship made up of silences shatters like a block of ice, what do you do with the old wounds, the buried frustrations that resurface? “Dance!”, the Taiwanese choreographer will answer. Following on from his successes with Rage and Floating Flowers, his raw talent enables him, once again, to touch the subtle depth of feelings.
