«There is a crack in everything, that´s how the light gets in.»
Leonard Cohen

In this season of love, Adolphe Binder and Jonathan E. Fredrickson are developing two world premieres. While Fredrickson devotes himself to Bell Hook's book ‹All About Love›, which reflects on the misconceptions about love and the unreal expectations of romantic relationships, Adolphe Binder places an old Japanese repair technique (Kintsugi) at the center of her creation as a parable. Both pieces are developed together with dancers from Ballett Basel and are the farewell works of Binder's directorship.
