AUSTRIAN PREMIERE

PROGRAM

* Igor Strawinski: Petruschka (1947)

* Alain Franco & Raphaël Hénard: Epilogue

Dance/Music/Classic  When electricity radically changed the urban landscape in the early 20^th century, it accelerated the (sensory) lives of modern human beings considerably. The rhythmic compositions of Igor Stravinsky captured this new sense of vitality in sonic form. Inspired by the hidden worlds in Stravinsky’s ballet Petrushka, Elisabeth Borgermans and Thomas Vantuycom will devise an abstract choreography with nine young dancers: an unconventional evening of dance that thrills with the youthful spirit of its ensemble and turns into a genuinely electrifying occasion thanks to the live music provided by the Tonkunstler Orchestra.

Elisabeth Borgermans and Thomas Vantuycom Choreography, Kurt Lefevre Light, Alexandra Sebbag Costume Design, Brad Lubman Musical Direction, Nolan Decreton, Lauryn De Ruyck, Kiko Labarque-Persyn, Celien Mertens, Louis Staquet, Annabel Van Acker, Tess Van der Sanden, Maïté van Genugten und Lennert Vanhove Dance, Tonkünstler-Orchester

A co-production of Perpodium, Brussels Philharmonic, Concertgebouw Brugge and STUK. With the support of the City of Leuven, the Flemish Community and the Tax Shelter of the Belgian Federal Government.
