Figure Humaine

​At the beginning of 2017, Sasha Waltz inaugurated the foyers of the recently completed Elbphilharmonie with the project »Figure Humaine« together with 80 musicians and dancers shortly before the official opening of the building. The musical-choreographic site-specific exploration took place at the official invitation of the general director Christoph Lieben-Seutter. The musical centerpiece was the choral work »Figure Humaine« by Francis Poulenc. Works by Hildegard von Bingen, Béla Bartók, György Ligeti, Cathy Milliken, Dmitri Shostakovich, Pēteris Vasks, Eugène Ysaÿe and many other composers were heard in the foyers. With the inauguration of the Elbphilharmonie foyers, Sasha Waltz again explored the intersection of dance, music and architecture in the tradition of her »Dialogues« series, which she created amongst others at the Neues Museum in Berlin, the MAXXI Museum in Rome, an old mansion in Calcutta or the Palazzo Carlo Scarpa in Venice.
