The FireWorks Project
World Premiere

40 years of Theaterhaus Stuttgart - quite a milestone! Both Theaterhaus companies are marking the occasion with an especially dazzling tribute to their home stage. Drawing on the venue's rich history as a concert space, The Fireworks Project launches ten colourful dance pieces in the first half of the evening. All new creations are set to music that has shaped the artistic identity of Theaterhaus - rooted in its illustrious jazz tradition.

After this genuine firework of world premieres, the second half - following the interval - looks back with gratitude at key moments in the Theaterhaus-Company's history. The programme includes revivals: Marco Goecke's moving solo Infant Spirit from Grandes Dames, and Eric Gauthier's crowd favourite ABC, which has repeatedly earned standing ovations - most recently across eight performances at the Joyce Theater in New York. Eric Gauthier has naturally woven in a few new twists. Both Andonis Foniadakis' Bolero+ and Hofesh Shechter's Bonus are also featured.
