The brave knight Amadis is held responsible for the disappearance of the brother of Arcabonne and Arcalaus. The two use their magical powers and mobilize the demonic underworld to lure Amadis into their realm and defeat him once and for all. Suddenly, nothing is as it seems: Amadis is abandoned in the forest by his beloved Princess Oriane and held captive in Arcalau's secret laboratory. All seems lost... but fortunately the powers of heaven have something to say about it.

Amadis, the Knight

Oper Leipzig

The choreographic language and legacy of Uwe Scholz is internationally recognized and undoubtedly legendary. As choreographer and ballet director from 1991 until his death in 2004, he was instrumental in shaping the program and identity of the Leipzig Ballet to this day.

Scholz Symphonies

A place for creation. This is the Leipzig Ballet under the new direction of Rémy Fichet. The two-part ballet evening »Humans« opens up space for creativity and abstract narratives in the art form of dance.

Louis Stiens, born in Munich and most recently a dancer at the Stuttgart Ballet, not only explores how dance takes root in the body and how this affects his personal choreographic language, but also examines the history of the Leipzig Ballet and its work in the GDR, creating links with Schubert’s »Unfinished« Symphony.

Humans

»The story of the bamboo cutter, or of Princess Kaguya«, is Japan’s oldest romantic fairytalelike narrative, dating back to 900. While at work, a childless bamboo cutter discovers a stray child, which he and his wife raise as their own. The radiantly beautiful child has been sent to earth as a gift from the moon, and though her beauty attracts powerful men as suitors: Kaguya is the princess of the moon and must return there.

Die Mondprinzessin

In theatre, a Black Box typically describes a simple performance space, usually square, with black walls. It is the simplicity of the space that opens up a multitude of possibilities for stage configuration and, sometimes, audience interaction.
