IN THE MOMENT

The first Highlights of the new season 2026/2027

Performance photo from the dance piece “Kaléidoscope,” choreographed by Mourad Merzouki and performed by Compagnie Käfig. A dancer performs an acrobatic move in which he touches the floor with just one hand, the rest of his body suspended in the air, one leg bent backwards as he leaps. The stage is bathed in blue light. — © Laurent Philippe

A double bill of brass band music

On the left side of the image a photo of the London Brass Ensemble with their brass instruments in front of an urban (London) street and on the right side a photo of the musicians Sebastian Fuchsberger, Leonhard Paul, Michael Hornek and Thomas Gansch in an empty coffee house, with a Christmas tree behind them; the cheerful figures are partly draped in tinsel. — © Luke Agbaimoni / Maria Frodl
