Caesar's love

The lightness and whimsy of love: Handel contrasts politics with sensuous music. Tarek Assam’s choreography focuses on this counterpoint, embodying the essence of love—charming, playful, and theatrical, ranging from flirtatious overtures to deep emotion.

Choreography: Tarek Assam
Dance: Alessia Ricci, Michele Carnimeo, Thomas Weal
Music: Georg Friedrich Händel
Costumes: Imme Kachel

La nature n'aime pas le vide

Can you hold me, carry me, endure me?

Two individuals encounter one another—initially cautious, tentative, almost fragile. They seek closeness. Tension grows from this approach—an ongoing interplay of attraction and distancing begins.

Choreography: Irene Kalbusch
Dance: Fabio Cavaleri, Pol Van den Broek

Irene K. - Four dancers from Compagnie Irene K, dressed in black and white, perform a synchronized, expressive leap on a dimly lit stage at the Eupen Open-Air-Festival, each casting dramatic shadows with raised legs and bent arms.

The piece delves into the mysteries of what lies beyond our earthly existence, taking one on a journey beyond this world. A journey into the unknown, a place where life and death converge and where the countries of reality are blurred.

LEER_RAUM

Memories, deeply anchored in body and mind.

The emptiness.
