Plattform Choreographie

This season we are once again presenting the works of six choreographic talents from the ranks of the Vienna State Ballet as part of our premiere Plattform Choreographie. Together with their fellow dancers, they develop their own pieces, raise questions that are currently preoccupying the young generation, go in search of their own aesthetics, experiment, try things out, sometimes crazy, sometimes as an intensive body study, sometimes as a beautiful ballet or cleverly narrated, gripping dance theatre.

In his piece Red Riding Hood, based on the Grimm fairy tale Little Red Riding Hood, László Benedek creates a dance theatre about fears, inner struggles and doubts.

In Wanted, Trevor Hayden is inspired by the life story of the legendary gangster couple Bonnie and Clyde to create a pas de deux about inseparability in the face of the most adverse circumstances.

In Martin Winter's Sen 0815, a world of imaginings, memories, but also nightmares opens up to the music of Johann Sebastian Bach for a man who, overtired from work, falls asleep in the underground.

Tessa Magda's Fall no Further revolves around questions of women's self-determination - in the relationship between father and daughter and wife and husband.

Adi Hanan's Shadows, set to music by the Israeli Mark Eliyahu, is a chamber piece about the questions of the inner necessity of art and the complete devotion that makes creative work possible in the first place, but also the danger of falling into isolation.

For Gabriele Aime's Like a dog with two tails, the invitation "Dance like no one is watching" becomes an impulse to move - a play about finding individual freedom in a life marked by daily routine.
