Olga de Soto — An Introduction (revisited)

Booking Required

Choreographed by Olga de Soto, this intimate solo examines Kurt Jooss’s La Table verte through memory, political legacy and the choreographer’s questioning. On a bare stage, de Soto is accompanied by projected archival images and videos, narrating her research and creative process. The piece traces before-and-after echoes of the original ballet, combining investigative reflection with poetic movement. Co-created with Arta Sperto and Dance First Think Later, the work unfolds as a rigorous yet lyrical inquiry into art, history and witness.

Five selections from Georg Philipp Telemann’s “Quadri” or Paris Quartets bring the art of musical conversation into focus. Italian vivacity and virtuosity meet the refinement of French dance and the contrapuntal ingenuity of German style. Chouchane Siranossian (violin), Karel Valter (traverso), Jonathan Pesek (viola da gamba), Hadrien Jourdan and Marc Alomar (continuo) shape a lively dialogue across sonatas, concertos and a suite. The programme features Concerto 1 in G major, Sonata seconda in G minor, the Second Suite in B minor, Sonata prima in A major and Concerto secondo in D major.

Directed by Marie-José Malis, Retour au pays revisits Hugo von Hofmannsthal’s letters through a spare, lucid staging. Performers Alexandra Tiedemann and Juan Crespillo inhabit the returning merchant’s disorientation, while Aurélia Ansermet provides live music and sound. Bernard Héritier’s scenography and Jessy Ducatillon’s lighting shape moments of visual surprise, most poignantly a Van Gogh encounter that restores belief in the world. The piece refuses facile answers, offering theatrical lucidity and an austere emotional clarity.
