Description
The FireWorks Project
World premiere
40 years Theaterhaus Stuttgart - what a proud birthday! And it's a matter of honour 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 will take 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 crowd pleaser ABC, which regularly gets audiences on their feet, most recently at eight performances in New York's Joyce Theater. It goes without saying that the artistic director has nevertheless included a twist or two. Andonis Foniadakis will expand his Bolero to Bolero + for 14 dancers, with all the JUNIORS and eight members of the main company. And Alejandro Cerrudo's Lickety-Split, originally one of the seven pieces from Lucky Seven from 2011, will now be danced by the Gauthier Dance JUNIORS in the brand new version from Dream Team.
