The FireWorks Project
World premiere
40 years of Theaterhaus Stuttgart - what a proud birthday! And it's a point of honor that the two Theaterhaus companies also send an extra sparkling congratulations to the parent company. Inspired by the great tradition of the Theaterhaus as a concert venue, The Fireworks Project set off ten colorful dance rockets in the first part of the evening. The new creations are all based on pieces of music that not least represent the artistic identity of the Theaterhaus with its illustrious jazz tradition.

After this veritable firework display of world premieres, the second part after the interval takes a grateful look back at important stages of the Theaterhaus-Company - with revivals of Marco Goecke's moving solo Infant Spirit from Grandes Dames and Eric Gauthier's audience hit ABC, which regularly receives standing ovations, as recently at eight performances in New York's Joyce Theater. It goes without saying that Eric Gauthier has nevertheless included the odd twist or two. Both Andonis Foniadakis' Bolero + and Hofesh Shechter's Bonus Track, originally performed with the participation of the JUNIORS, are now being shown in a new version exclusively for the main company.
