Ballett des Staatstheaters am Gärtnerplatz: ROCK TO HEAVEN
Powerful rhythms, grungy riffs and lively instrumental solos await you this evening. The three choreographers, Jacopo Godani, Frédérick Gravel and Karl Alfred Schreiner, explore a musical genre that is rather unusual in the world of dance. The music, written especially for this production, captures the energy of a rock band whose live performance makes the stage shake, visually translating the spirit of rock music through the choreography.
Each of the choreographers brings their own unique perspective and distinctive style to the evening, portraying the highs and lows of life in the spotlight. Frédérick Gravel captivates with his idiosyncratic take on interpersonal relationships and his powerful physicality. Jacopo Godani, known for his distinctive and intense movements, embodies pure energy on stage, whilst Karl Alfred Schreiner completes the triptych with a profound emotional dimension that reflects the inner struggles and triumphs of a legend. The fusion of powerful music and impressive choreography promises an intense experience in these three world premieres.
