»Beethoven 7« von Sasha Waltz & Guests

The two-part evening "Beethoven 7" focuses on the question of how personal freedom and social constraints relate to each other. Together with 14 dancers, Sasha Waltz devotes herself to Ludwig van Beethoven's "Symphony No. 7 in A major (op. 92)". The special music resonates with questions of its time that still play a role for us today: The failure of a revolution, the (forced) return to old traditions, the friction between the desire for social transformation and restoration and the accompanying loss of freedom and prospects for the future. To the live electronic sounds of the Chilean composer Diego Noguera entitled "Freiheit/Extasis", which were created during the creative process, Sasha Waltz takes up these themes in the first part of the evening and reinterprets them from a contemporary perspective.
