On stage, four creations unfold:

Preludio by Diego Tortelli, built around some of the most intense poems and songs by Australian singer-songwriter Nick Cave, explores love, faith, dependence, obsession, loss, and the intricate ways these themes intertwine.

The second piece, An echo, a wave by Philippe Kratz, translates the sense of wonder and eternity evoked by the view of the sea: the dancers’ flowing movements recall the natural, unending motion of the waves, while also reflecting the passage through shifting emotional states.

Reconciliatio, by the extraordinary Angelin Preljocaj, delves into the theme of reconciliation — a poetic, impressionistic tableau inspired by the imagery of Saint John’s Apocalypse.

Finally, Solo Echo by Crystal Pite draws inspiration from two cello and piano sonatas by Johannes Brahms and the poem Lines for Winter by Mark Strand, invoking winter, music, and the moving body to express something essential about acceptance and loss.
