»In C«, a colorful excursion into the world of minimal music, marks the Dresdner Musikfestspiele debut of an icon of modern dance, Sasha Waltz. The music for the acclaimed choreography is based on Terry Riley’s eponymous, ground-breaking composition of 1964 – a key work of minimal music with a revolutionary effect. Waltz has created a multi-layered choreography from its 53 sound figures, with a movement corresponding to each of them. »It is a democratic piece about being part of a group as an individual, not an individual in the group«, says Waltz. The performance is rounded out by the live performance of the Swiss industrial band The Young Gods.

Sasha Waltz & Guests:  »In C«

Staatsschauspiel Dresden

The work of Berlin choreographer Sasha Waltz has shaped the German dance scene for over 30 years. In 1993 she founded her dance company Sasha Waltz & Guests, performed with it at the most prestigious venues both nationally and internationally, and received the Federal Cross of Merit for her work in 2011. It is high time that tanzmainz and Sasha Waltz & Guests met: In the 2024/25 season, the ensembles will work together several times. The first piece is In C - a piece that Sasha Waltz designed from the outset with the basic idea of ​​a project for open knowledge transfer. Dancers from tanzmainz and the Berlin company will present joint performances in a mixed cast at the Staatstheater Mainz and in the Radialsystem Berlin.
