The Valkyries are blessed with the clearest view of the world. They have to watch what is happening on this earth – and it’s a lot. The world tree Yggdrasil, the source of all life, has dried. Wotan, god without a plan, destroys and rages. People are no better, and just follow his example. But at least, there is Brünnhilde, the only one of the Valkyries who is able to leave the rock. She seems to be able to fight the looming demise. Obstinate, strong and wayward, she is looking for a new order of things.
Maren Bues will stage Caren Jeß’ attack on this German myth – a turning point, a new narrative, clever, sharp and often very funny. 

The three-part ballet evening Shechter - Goecke - Ekman celebrates the entire spectrum of human emotions. In Uprising by Hofesh Shechter, young men compete playfully, test their limits and find strength in friendship and solidarity. The Big Crying by Marco Goecke unfolds images of poetry and farewell with the utmost precision, while the choreography also celebrates life - accompanied by the haunting music of Tori Amos. Finally, Cacti by Alexander Ekman surprises with wit and self-irony, in which dance, music and props merge into a refreshing synthesis of the arts.

Witty, elegant, erotic, melancholy: The place of women in society is viewed through the panorama of a fake world. A society lady in midlife crisis escapes her marriage with a younger lover, only to come to her senses soon and surrender him to a younger woman. A rake who thinks that he can get fresh meat and money for his aristocratic name is put in his place. A young man of distinction stumbles from one great love to the next, and a young daughter from a nouveau-riche family still believes in the one and only. It’s all beauty and glamour, full of waltzes, kitsch and sugar coating – with a splash of irony and yet full of truth.
