Percussionist

Anastasia Kobekina's heartfelt wish: to one day share the stage with dancers and let their energies flow together. Her summer at the Mecklenburg-Vorpommern Festival makes this dream come true. The dance company of the Rostock Volkstheater and the award-winner in residence are creating an evening together—and not only Anastasia's cello invites you to dance, but the percussion of festival award-winner Alexej Gerassimez also makes bodies fly.

Percussion, cello, dance!

Ernst-Barlach-Theater

It's about to get exciting! When piano-playing brothers Lucas and Arthur Jussen join forces with top drummers Alexej Gerassimez and Emil Kuyumcuyan, musical sparks fly. All four already know each other from previous tours. Audiences can therefore look forward to a well-rehearsed team whose enthusiasm for experimentation, sense of rhythm, and outstanding virtuosity promise a veritable firework display on keys and drumsticks. In addition to original compositions for this unusual ensemble, including works by Steve Reich, the program also includes arrangements of repertoire classics such as the Symphonic Dances from Leonard Bernstein's West Side Story and George Gershwin's Rhapsody in Blue.
