Performer: Katja Wünsche

Henrick Ibsen’s tragic figure is given a stunning interpretation by Romanian choreographer Edward Clug, who underscores the power of love.

In Zurich, two sensational ballets by choreographers Johann Inger and Edward Clug pull out all the stops... including those on the water hoses.

Ballett Zürich’s tribute to the visionary American choreographer William Forsythe included three ballets that had never before been performed in Switzerland.

Marking a century after Vaslav Nijinsky’s last solo performance, Marco Goecke’s ballet gives a new dynamic to the name and story of the legendary Polish-born Russian dancer.

 Zurich’s new triple-bill ballet programme bridges the 20 and 21st centuries with choreography by three different contemporary masters: Jacopo Godani, Hans van Manen, and William Forsythe.

Just as rereading a favourite novel can give the reader new literary impulses to explore, so, too, can the revival of a popular ballet offer a fresh interpretation.
