FAST FORWARD

In the organizer's words:

The Hamburg Ballet presents works by George Balanchine / Angelin Preljocaj / Marcos Morau / Xie Xin

An evening of ballet in fast motion: four choreographies - 90 years of dance history

George Balanchine's Serenade ( 1935), a milestone of classical ballet that combines highly romantic aesthetics with neoclassical clarity, marks the beginning. In Annonciation (1995), Angelin Preljocaj turns traditional notions of annunciation on their head with a pas de deux of haunting physical poetry. Marcos Morau's new Hamburg version of Totentanz (2023) invites us to a fascinating interplay between sensuality and existential depth with visually stunning, theatrical images. The evening culminates in the world premiere of The Moon in the Ocean by Chinese choreographer Xie Xin. With her flowing yet dynamic language of movement, she reflects on reality and illusion, light and shadow, surface and depth.
