Saburo Teshigawara takes on Wagner: Tristan and Isolde at the Hong Kong Arts Festival

A new Petrushka full of contemporary anguish as Japanese artist Saburo Teshigawara presents a world premiere to celebrate his Golden Lion Lifetime Achievement award in Venice. 

Several notable house debuts, including the renowned director and choreographer Sabuto Teshigawara, enlivened the New National Theatre's first-ever production of Gluck's opera.

Teshigawara is now 65 and it is beyond comprehension that a man can still move with such muscular control and feline fluidity well into his seventh decade.

Saburo Teshigawara sets Rameau’s opéra-ballet Pigmalion as a compelling dance performance

Sidi Larbi Cherkaoui and Saburo Teshigawara present a double-bill under the heading Spirit. At the Gothenburg Opera. The evening promises high quality, yet harbors the danger that the level of abstraction which permeates the two works might undermine the urgency of the message.

For this fall season, the Paris Opera Ballet presents a triple bill that explores the hidden corners of the Palais Garnier, with pieces by Saburo Teshigawara, Trisha Brown and Jiří Kylián. All ‘investigators of the fringes of the unknown,’ the three choreographers set in place theatrical devices that mesmerize the audience with enigmatic dreams.
