The lingering void, the encompassing emptiness, the subtle shift
- Concept and Choreography: Fabrice Mazliah
- Composition - Johannes Helberger
- Introduction 30 minutes before start
Curtain up! In this world premiere for Ballet Basel, the dancing ends and ends again. Recycling final moments from many dance pieces, real and fictitious, the dancers move through an endgame of starts and finishes. Created by Swiss choreographer Fabrice Mazliah, born in Geneva and newly based in Basel, the piece presents the dancers’ cooperative research on the topic of transitioning. The dance is accompanied by original music by Johannes Helberger (electronic composition) and Ensemble Aventure (arrangement and performance). Complexly layered, the performers work together in a way that is meticulously constructed, playful and curiously virtuosic.
Dance and video piece with double perspective
- Concept and choreography - La Ribot
- Composition - Alexandre Babel
- Introduction 15 minutes after intermission
In ‹LIVEstinguished›, the dancers' bodies set everything in motion. They are equipped with cameras. The audience experiences two points of view: the frontal view of the performance and, on their own mobile phones, the personal view of the person being filmed live. A dizzying scale game between close-up and long shot, focal length and depth of field emerges. The bodies become luminous tableaus - erotic, ridiculous, bizarre - that fade away.
(La Ribot) imitated many times, but never equalled (...) with an alert sensitivity for people and a keen eye for humour in the human drama.
In addition to the spoken introductions, Ballett Basel offers guided movement sessions with the audience so that you can not only see but also feel some of the choreographers' movement methods. The introductions are led by the Ballett Basel team. (The regular piece introductions will take place in parallel as usual).

Es gibt bei («The Ends of Things: The Things of Ends») umheimlich viele Gleichzeitigkeiten, ein stetiges Treiben und getrieben werden (...). Es ist alles stark in Bewegung, der Vorhang fährt immer wieder rauf und runter, es gibt ganz viele vertikale Bewegungen und viele, viele Ebenen in der Musik. Ich finde es eine sehr gelungene Metapher auf die Frage was bleibt von dem was vergeht.
(Es ist) ein experimenteller und inspirierender Ballettabend mit einem Ensemble, das wie immer Hervorragendes leistet und bis an die eigenen Grenzen geht.
