Cabaret Artist

In one of his most famous films – Modern Times – Charlie Chaplin struggles desperately against the monotony of his work on the assembly line of a factory. In one scene, he gets caught up in an oversized gear train while still dutifully tightening the screws – a symbol of the modern world of work and the power of its machines over people. In today’s “modern times”, we too are driven. Many of us are no longer able to relax or unwind without feeling guilty. Every free minute is filled with tasks and appointments: more and more is demanded in less and less time. Social networks also play their part. Dance thrives on speed – but also on calm. The dance evening Modern Times takes a moving look at the rhythm of life and its changes.

Modern Times

Oper Graz

Italian Brian Scalini, Australian Jack Traylen and Etay Axelroad from Israel take on the exciting challenge of discovering dance from a new perspective and presenting an evening together in mutual inspiration. The three young choreographers approach dance in very different ways. Each of them has a unique choreographic signature and bold ideas. They show “pure dance”, close to the audience: sensual, provocative, powerful and surprising.
