AUSTRIAN PREMIERE

Dance  A dark stage space and hammering beats. Seventeen dancers in rhythmic unison form a single, pulsating organism. With her distinctive choreography to powerful electronic music, Sharon Eyal creates dance pieces that get under the audience’s skin. Her unmistakable style, highlighting the strangeness of a refined ballet technique, has made the Israeli-born artist one of the most sought-after contemporary choreographers. For her creation Soul Chain, developed with the ensemble tanzmainz, Eyal was inspired by desire and love. This high-energy work was awarded the German Theatre Prize ‘Der Faust’ in 2018.
