Dark Matter & Le Spectre de la rose - six choreographies by Marco Goecke

On music by Barbara, Ravi Shankar, Etta James, Keith Jarrett, Lady Gaga, Johnny Cash, Nina Simone and Carl Maria von Weber. Ballett Basel brings six works by Marco Goecke, a choreographer with an immediately recognizable signature: nervous tension, emotional intensity and a poetic movement language. From Barbara to Nina Simone, from Lady Gaga to symphonic music — his dance unfolds in strongly contrasting sound worlds. The program is supplemented with Le Spectre de la rose, a revisited classic performed with the house orchestra. An evening in which Goecke's dance enters into dialogue with music that is as varied as it is compelling.
