A place for creation. This is the Leipzig Ballet under the new direction of Rémy Fichet. The two-part ballet evening »Humans« opens up space for creativity and abstract narratives in the art form of dance.

Louis Stiens, born in Munich and most recently a dancer at the Stuttgart Ballet, not only explores how dance takes root in the body and how this affects his personal choreographic language, but also examines the history of the Leipzig Ballet and its work in the GDR, creating links with Schubert’s »Unfinished« Symphony.

Sofia Nappi’s movement language plays with the boundaries that can be drawn between ballet, contemporary dance and performance. To music by Clara Schumann and Henry Purcell, she explores the interweaving of baroque and modern, and ideas of femininity in different eras.
