Four choreographies by Antoine Jully and Barak Marshall

Antoine Jully focuses on the physical, earthy aspects of the prehistoric world of dinosaurs and other primeval creatures in his ballet "Jurassic Trip" to the composition of the same name by Guillaume Connesson. The choreographer embarks on movement studies to accompany the various animal portraits, which range from "Plesiosaurus hunting in the sea" to the "Meal of a Brontosaurus".

Israeli-born musician Asaf Avidan evokes a wide range of emotions with his extraordinary singing voice. During Antoine Jully's duet for a dancer, it remains to be seen whether these are real situations or thoughts in a person's head.

Antoine Jully first created a solo to the piano music "The Dying Poet". In 2024, he created a duet about classical ballet - about figures, lines and the harmonious interplay between the partners: It is a souvenir of the special physical discipline of the art of classical dance, which is sometimes almost forgotten.

What happens when a person is always silent, when they don't speak at all and stoically endure everything their whole life? The US-Israeli choreographer Barak Marshall, who has already thrilled Oldenburg audiences with his ballet "Monger", returns with a story by the Yiddish author Isaac Leib Perez that takes such an unexpected turn that even the angels in heaven are surprised.
