»SYM-PHONIE MMXX«, a piece for dance, light and orchestra, is a commissioned work by the renowned composer Georg Friedrich Haas initiated by Sasha Waltz and is Haas’s first official stage work for dance. Composed for the large symphonic ensemble of the Staatskapelle Berlin, the music gives room to a symphony of dance and music, which creates a close connection between the musical language and the dancers’ body language. The production’s concept, in the best tradition of dance history, is based on the inspiring encounter of the arts and has been declared the artistic guideline: Sasha Waltz transforms music, dance and visual arts into a full-length work which at the same time reflects the contrasts and contradictions of our current life reality like a seismograph. Thus, creating a piece of clamorous silence and eruptive energy.
