Short Summary
Two icons of the New York avant-garde of the 1950s meet a world premiere by Martin Schläpfer:
with Divertimento No. 15, George Balanchine choreographed a fragrant neoclassical Mozart ballet and Merce Cunningham too has not lost touch with the skies in his bouncy dance piece Summerspace. In contrast, Martin Schläpfer will create a new work for the dancers of the Vienna State Ballet based on a highly dramatic symphony: Tchaikovsky’s “Pathétique”, characterised by emotional highs and deep abysses.
