Sol León, Paul Lightfoot – William Forsythe – Sharon Eyal T(r)anssi

T(r)anssi is an evening that showcases the works of four of the most influential choreographers of our times: William Forsythe, Sharon Eyal, and the team of Paul Lightfoot and Sol León. It captivates the audience with its unique blend of movement, emotion, and mental energy. Seeing these works is more than just a visual experience. It’s an immersion into a trance-like state, which may provoke reflection on themes of gender, community, and collectivism.

SIGNING OFF

Signing Off is a heartbreaking ballet about saying goodbye. With its pure expression, virtuosity, and elegant organic lines combined with sudden bursts of movement, this choreography set to Philip Glass’s concerto for violin and orchestra invites the audience to descend into a deep, meditative trance.

PLAYLIST (TRACK 1,2)

Playlist is created for 12 male dancers, whose athletic, virtuoso moves to neo-soul and house music are like an irresistible invitation for the audience to join the party. The score for Playlist, which had its world premiere at the English National Ballet in 2018, is a recording of Peven Everett and Lion Babe’s music.

HALF LIFE

Choreographer Sharon Eyal is renowned for her distinctive movement language and innovative work, created in collaboration with multimedia artist Gai Behar. The essence of Eyal and Behar’s artistry often lies in group dynamics, which also play a central role in Half life. This piece, exploring new forms of expression, is characterised by its repeated, minimalist micro-movements that provoke a hypnotic state of mind in the audience. Half life serves as a reminder of the importance of being part of a group – without sacrificing individuality.
