Gauthier Dance Juniors: «Radical Classical»

Description

Which art form combines classical music and movement? In a quick street survey, almost everyone would probably answer "ballet." The program "Radical Classical" aims to champion the fascinating and not so rare combination of dance and classical music. The method of choice: contemporary "classics" by famous choreographers. As an extra, short, specially produced film sequences open new perspectives on the music during the breaks between choreographies and vividly convey background information about the individual works: sometimes focusing on instruments, sometimes on composers, sometimes on the performers themselves. This creates a lively dialogue between sound and movement, information and emotion. "Radical Classical" is especially aimed at young people and invites them to rediscover classical music in motion – directly, sensually, and surprisingly. GAUTHIER DANCE JUNIORS is the next generation of Gauthier Dance, the young company founded in 2024 by Eric Gauthier's internationally renowned ensemble from Stuttgart. The young dancers combine artistic excellence with fresh energy and captivate a broad audience with their productions – both on stage and in their educational work with children and youth.
