This four-part ballet evening brings together two legendary dance pieces and two world premieres.

The Ballett Zürich has a long-standing relationship with the American choreographer William Forsythe. His «New Suite» from 2012, set to music by Bach, Händel, and Berio, combines eight technically demanding duets from different creative periods, forming a showcase of his work «en miniature». Hans van Manen made dance history in 1979 with his video ballet «Live». Created in the pioneering days of video technology, this piece for two dancers, a pianist, and a cameraman explodes the boundaries of the stage space, revealing itself to be a masterful puzzle game about the mechanisms of perception.

These three impressive signature styles kick off with “Four Schumann Pieces” by the Dutch grand master Hans van Manen. It is a ballet full of romance and elegance, in which the drama of emotional states, dreams, desires and fears is counterpointed with the clear movement language so typical of van Manen.
