Rykena/Jüngst | STRIPPING BOLERO

An evening full of highlights: Maurice Ravel's "Boléro" as a multi-sensory, humorous and exuberant performance between sign language poetry, choreography and audio description.

Maurice Ravel's world-famous "Boléro" is a musical composition that builds up to a permanent crescendo and ends in pure ecstasy. The orchestral classic gave the choreographic duo Rykena/Jüngst the opportunity to develop sensual and choreographic highlights in their new piece, while at the same time questioning them: dance, sign language poetry, audio description and erotic storytelling create a world on stage between great tragedies and tender intimacy. A multi-sensory, accessible performance in hypnotic proximity to the audience.

The orchestral classic Boléro prompted choreographic duo Rykena/Jüngst to develop sensuous and choreographic highpoints for their new work, and simultaneously interrogate it: the performers play with escalation, deceleration and seduction. "STRIPPING BOLERO" is a style-defining work in hypnotic proximity to the audience. Dance, sign language and sign language poetry, audio description, and erotic storytelling create a world on stage that lies between great tragedy and tender intimacy.
