A poetically pulsating two-act opera with dance and chorus.
Masterpieces by the Japanese pioneer Saburo Teshigawara exclusively for Ballett Basel. In the impressive interplay of light, sound, dance and body, the total artist Teshigawara reveals like a magician what makes us human and what holds us together in our innermost being. Poetry of movement by one of the greatest of this genre, one who does not shy away from risk. Life is movement. Teshigawara's art emerges between haunting images and poetic calligraphies. Dynamically breathing and breathtaking at the same time, theatre spaces are transformed into sculptures and bodies into dance poetry, literature into energy. A unique experience that moves.
