Tonight the evening »Dialogues« packed with duets from outstanding international choreographers will receive its world premiere. Part of it: A duet from »Impromptus« by Sasha Waltz danced by Claudia de Serpa Soares and Gyung Moo Kim.
Rarely has Dansens Hus’ big stage been more star-studded than during the world premiere of »Dialogues« – an evening packed with duets by six of the world’s leading choreographers: Ohad Naharin, Crystal Pite, Mats Ek, Sasha Waltz, Emma Portner and Jiří Kylián. Six choreographers who define both the today and the future in contemporary dance. They all contribute their own work to this festive evening created by the Norwegian Opera & Ballet in Oslo and Productions Sarfati. After the world premiere at Dansens Hus, the performance will tour to St. Petersburg, Moscow, and the Théâtre des Champs-Élysées in Paris.
