 May 14 to May 15, 2023 / 6 pm (14.05.) + 7 pm (15.05) DANCE 2023 Tony Rizzi & The Bad Habits Why Wait? schwere reiter Ballett Frankfurt under the direction of William Forsythe – a legend. The dancer and choreographer Tony Rizzi, himself a prominent member of the company for many years, brought together former colleagues and a dancer from the younger generation for his lecture performance in order to revitalize in a retrospect the special atmosphere of working with Forsythe. It is a remembrance of the genius, the chaos, the creativity, the craziness of a special epoch, which still has an influence on dance. When Rizzi & Company interweave the live stage performance with videos from the archive of Ballett Frankfurt, a wild ride is created that constantly oscillates between back then and now. Far from kitsch and romanticization, he still awakes with a nostalgic gleam the longing for a past time. When after the Covid intermission the long-expected piece finally celebrated its world premiere, the press and audiences praised the anarchy, the alleged chaotic rehearsals, and Forsythe's creativity. Tony Rizzi Tony Rizzi received his training at Boston Ballet School before he came to Ballett Frankfurt in 1985, where over the next two decades he became one of William Forsythe's most important dancers and later his artistic advisor. The guest performance will be accompanied by an exhibition with black-and-white photographs by Tony Rizzi, which he took of Ballet Frankfurt in the 1980s and 90s.
