Everything between heaven and earth is bursting with energetic power. The ballet evening NOVITZKY / DAWSON explores the contrast between the earthly and the spiritual in choreographies by two contemporary artists. Roman Novitzky, Artist in Residence at the Stuttgart Ballet, was inspired by Dante's Divine Comedy for The Place of Choice. In contrast to Dante's sequence, Novitzky's main character moves from paradise to purgatory to hell. This raises the question: where are we, where are we going and what are we doing to ourselves as a society? David Dawson is one of the leading dance artists of our time. His works take classical ballet to a new level. He creates breathtaking images and takes the dancers seemingly beyond the limits of what is physically possible. For SYMPHONY NO. 2 "Under the Trees' Voices" to music by Ezio Bosso, he brings pure beauty to the stage.
