Aus Leidenschaft!

Wilfried Hösl's large format photos simply exude passion - and it was passion which provided the impetus over 25 years for an artistic team, for dancers and choreographers who created such an outstanding repertoire in Munich. How does one develop a ballet and dance program today in a traditional opera house, which at the same time can function as a historically grounded confrontation with the history of one's own genre, analyzes the connections to other art forms and also considers social reality? In short: what distinguishes the Munich repertoire so fundamentally from those of other German companies? Dr. Dorion Weickmann, sociologist and author, answers these questions in an entertaining fashion, and with an informed understanding of the international dance scene.
