Concert hall or club? That's not always an easy decision at BEAT, the Duisburg Philharmonic's somewhat different concert series. As previously at the Mercatorhalle, the Trio Repercussion will once again present a program this season in which virtuoso playing on classical percussion instruments merges into the driving force of rousing club sounds. Dancing is the order of the day – but this time the ensemble will take the clash of clubbing, philharmonic, and ballet to the extreme. Famous for his outstanding physical expressiveness, Japanese dancer Wataru Shimizu, a long-time soloist with the Aalto Ballet Essen, will be joining Repercussion at its invitation to put his skills to use in a breathtaking live performance of his own songs at the interface between neo-classical music, electronic music, and drums. He will be artistically supported not only by the energetic vibes of the music and the visuals of VJ SAW, but also by other high-ranking ballet colleagues, whose names have not yet been confirmed. But one thing is certain: This evening will not only get you pumped on stage, but also in front of it.
