Gilles Delmas

In between performance, dance and cerémonies, "The Ferryman” is a choreographic exploration of rituals and animistic roots, a luxurious visualisation of a bewitchment and an exorcism of a man-deer in the borders of the world.

In Mea Culpa, the Belgian-Moroccan choreographer Sidi Larbi Cherkaoui explores a shared sense of guilt that is passed on from generation to generation and continues to affect the present day. Inequality, discrimination, colonization and slavery are questioned from the perspective of both perpetrator and victim. The compositions of Heinrich Schütz, one of the key figures on the border between Renaissance and Baroque, are permeated by the same themes and put reconciliation first.
