Dialoge 2021 – Ludwigsburg

The field of tension between music, choreography and architecture forms an important power centre for the work of Sasha Waltz and the project series »Dialogues«. After artistic explorations of the Jewish Museum and the Neues Museum in Berlin, a medieval monastery complex in Montpellier, an old mansion in Kolkata or the gutted Palast der Republik in Berlin, the choreographer devoted herself to one of the largest and original castles in Europe in the summer of 2021. Accompanied by the music of Jean-Philippe Rameau and Henry Purcell, the audience was led through the baroque backdrop from the sea of blossoms in the North Garden to the Court of Honour of the Ludwigsburg Residence Palace. The danced parcours brought picturesque scenes to life and ended in an exciting stylistic break as the sun set: the new choreography »In C« to the music of the same name by Terry Riley, the founder of so-called minimal music.
