»Beethoven 7« in April back in Berlin
The most recent choreography of Sasha Waltz will come to Berlin's Radialsystem from 25 to 28 April. Ticket sales start on 18 January.
The two-part evening »Beethoven 7« can be experienced for the third time since its world premiere in March 2023 at Radialsystem, Berlin: Sasha Waltz and an ensemble of 14 dancers devote themselves to the complete »Symphony No. 7 in A major (op. 92)« by Ludwig van Beethoven. This music, composed in 1812, resonates with questions of its time that still play a role for us today: the failure of a revolution, the (forced) return to old traditions, the friction between the desire for social transformation and restoration and the associated loss of freedom and future prospects.
At the beginning of the evening, Sasha Waltz takes up these themes and reinterprets them from a contemporary perspective to the live electronic sounds of Chilean composer Diego Noguera with the title »Freiheit/Extasis«, which were commissioned and developed during the creation process. How do personal freedom and social constraints relate to each other?
