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.

»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.
