As a performer
Les Préludes
Performed : December 2022 in Munich (DE)
Choreography: Stephan Herwig
Live music: Zoran Imširović on Frederic Chopin and Claude Debussy
Dancers : Gaetano Badalamenti, Anna Fontanet, Anima Henn, Stephan Herwig, Alexandre May, Susanne Schneider, Alessandro Sollima
Lights : Michael Kunitsch
​
Programe note :
"For the first time, Stephan Herwig is inspired by pre-set music for his new choreography. Seven preludes from the first book by Claude Debussy, as well as "Prélude, Op. 45”, by Frédéric Chopin, form the musical concept of the evening, played live by Zoran Imširović. The compositions each convey their own mood tonally, melodically and rhythmically. The ensemble of seven dancers explores the relationship between dance and music in various constellations and searches for forms of encounter beyond pure interpretation."

THE LOVERS
Photoggraphy : Alexander Ulbrich
Performed : December 2022 in Munich (DE)
Choreography: Stephan Herwig
Dancers : Anima Henn, Alexandre May, Alessandro Sollima
Lights : Michael Kunitsch
​
Programe note :
THE LOVERS creates a bubble in which the three lovers encounter one another beyond stereotypical gender roles. Their bodies interweave in changing constellations; immersed in physicality, they create sculptural moments that alternate with dynamic phases. They expand the boundaries of selfhood, but without losing themselves. A temporary utopia in the format of a chamber play comes into being.

Choreography: BirutÄ— LetukaitÄ— and dancers
Live music: Antanas Jasenka
Costumes: Kristina Čyžiūtė, Birutė Letukaitė
Lights: Vladimiras Šerstabojevas
Programe note :
“The world is full of secrets. Some of them we carefully keep, some we reveal. Sometimes we even don‘t know about their existence or cautiously hide them under the shatter of glass, as a piece of ourselves.
In the performance “Sekretas” the dancers of AURA Dance Theatre are creating choreographic pictures, changing as the view in kaleidoscope and whispering their secrets with the bodies. What a huge pleasure to blow away the snow of feathers and gasp from astonishment, isn‘t it?”

This piece is the result of the collaboration between the composer Alberto Granados Reguilón and the choreographer Julia Gómez Avilés, who intrigued by the concept of blindness, and inspired by many different arts including the literary work “Blindness” by José Saramago and the series of paintings “No connection” by Julia Filament, they created a performative work where movement and sound merge into a complete piece that could be seen as a journey of humankind that perforce gets blinded with the course of time.
