One foot in the club, another in the battle. In a hip-hop field that has long been dominated by men, choreographer Ousmane Sy – who suddenly passed away in 2020 – made a big splash by creating a 100% female group: Paradox-sal. His final show is a ballet of urban dances joyfully warmed-up by traditional African and West Indies traditional rhythms. Seven queens of house dance appear as they are: voluntary, playful, perfectionist, sensual or ferocious at times. Each with her style. The energy circulates like a ball, goes from one to the other, rebounds and goes again to carry away, inevitably, the audience in its course.
Jazz – Live Session Concert
Dieser Text existiert nicht auf Deutsch.
The jazzy stars will align for one night in June, once two Luxembourg jazz quartets hit the floor of Ariston’s bar. Only merely separated by age, Jitz Jeitz’s and Arthur Possing’s paths have crossed many times already – they not only play in Paul Fox’s modern hard bop quintet The Minor Majors, but were also part of the recent Mendy – Das Wusical production at Les Théâtres de la Ville. Now the two jazzmen will meet again with their respective quartets.

Double Side
This evening in two acts allows us to celebrate the artists of the Fondazione Nazionale della Danza – Aterballetto. With Stabat Mater, Italy’s most renowned ballet draws from the contemporary, religion-inspired music of Arvo Pärt. Three dancers accompanied by musicians and singers evolve within a spectral setting, fighting for their salvation against bands of rubber that embrace their bodies as much as imprison them. Equally intense, the second choreography With drooping wings gathers four musicians and eight dancers around the Baroque scores of Henry Purcell.
La Galerie
The circus comes to the museum! In the monotonous whitecube of a contemporary art gallery, eight characters lightly mock its conventions. Rigid and uptight at the start, they unwind with colorful, liberatory, and acrobatic élan. From the first to last moments of a performance that forges ahead at full speed, the sets are constructed and deconstructed in the service of a suite of inventive and supercharged numbers. Eyes widen and light up before these artists who are alternately circus performers, dancers, actors or musicians, but above all, they are very touching. And that is indeed fine art.
Ligeti project
Sorry, there’s no English version of this text.
Intergénérationnel et pluridisciplinaire. Ligeti projet est un spectacle participatif créé tout au long de la saison 22/23. Sous la direction de la danseuse Piera Jovic et de la pédagogue de théâtre Anja Hoscheit, une classe scolaire d’Esch et un groupe de seniors joignent leurs esprits créatifs pour présenter une pièce de théâtre musical et de danse. Ces deux groupes seront accompagnés sur scène par les musicien·nes de l’Orchestre de Chambre du Luxembourg, au fil des compositions de György Ligeti, qui fêterait son 100e anniversaire en 2023.
¡Fandango!
EN Between Flamenco and contemporary movement, traditional song and electronic music, ¡Fandango! draws on Iberian folk culture to celebrate a Spain that is liberated and intoxicating. Former dancer of the Flamenco Ballet of Andalusia and the National Ballet of Spain, David Coria sets his choreography to the spellbinding music of David Lagos. Nine performers dance, act, and sing in unison; the red stage reminiscent of an Andalusian square from which popular fiestas and heart piercing lamentations resound. A convivial time and change of scenery guaranteed!
ES Fandango, término polisémico, designa unos aires folklóricos determinantes para el repertorio flamenco y una fiesta popular más bien licenciosa que la Iglesia condenó ya en el XVI. ¡Fandango!, con signos de admiración, es un espectáculo construido por David Coria sobre el disco ”Hodierno”, de David Lagos, en el que la música y el baile trazan y recorren el círculo de la vida de la gente de la calle, sus miserias y alegrías, su contexto histórico y religioso. Según el musicólogo Claude Worms, “si Fellini y Nino Rota hubieran sido flamencos, seguro que habrían creado la puesta en escena y la música de un espectáculo comparable a ¡Fandango!”.

L’arbre qui avait des ailes
EN As the legend goes, an oak tree wanted to become a woman, it wanted to fly away. That’s how it interlaced its branches to sing, dance, and play, from its roots all the way up to the sky. The choreographer Anabel Veloso combines grace and suppleness, percussion and guitar, to incarnate and transmit flamenco for little ones that hums and frolics at the foot of a tree, across the four seasons. From the shimmering colors that come alive in Spring to the nocturnal lullabies murmured on Winter’s coldest evenings, The Tree That Had Wings is a performance filled with mischief and poetry.
ES Un buen día, la encina siente desde la raíz un impulso extraño: quiere bailar, cantar, desde la tierra hasta el cielo. En esta fábula contemporánea, el baile de Anabel Veloso, el cante de Rocío Zamora y la música de Trinidad Jiménez y Gabriel Pérez trasplantan las emociones de los palos más dulces del flamenco a las hojas y las flores del árbol que quería volar. Tras su estreno en la Bienal de Sevilla, “El árbol con alas” fue nominado a los premios Max como mejor espectáculo infantil.
