Light, rhythm, energy. Beacon. The three-part ballet evening is characterized by the new program of the Staatsballett: from the world premiere of a story ballet to a modern classic.
To mark the 100th anniversary of Franz Kafka's death, the new in-house choreographer Kristina Paulin has created a world premiere based on Kafka's enigmatic novel fragment The Castle, depicting a disturbing world of bureaucratic intrigue, power and the desperate search for belonging and identity. The new ballet director Raimondo Rebeck introduces himself as a choreographer in Karlsruhe with A Journey of a Memory. In his very personal exploration of farewell and loss, he shows how memories and perceptions slowly but inexorably disappear and yet the hope of happiness never fades. And Cantata, the energetic ode to beauty, southern passion and joie de vivre by the great Italian choreographer Mauro Bigonzetti, can be seen for the first time in Karlsruhe.
