On 28 November 2023, the collaboration with MOVES has culminated in a
very special performance: For the first time the choreography »In C« by
Sasha Waltz to the music of the same name by Terry Riley was presented
in a mixed cast of dancers from Sasha Walz & Guests and from all
over Mexico at FORO FIL (Feria Internacional del Libro), the main stage
of the Guadalajara International Book Fair. The performance was part of
the programme of the European Union, which was the guest of honour at
FIL 2023. Six dancers from Sasha Waltz & Guests danced together with
six Mexican dancers from Tijuana, Mexico City, Guadalajara and Mérida
to live music directed by Sergio Ramírez Cárdenas.
