A Midsummer Night’s Dream

Teatro dell'Opera di Roma

Bringing Season 16 to a rousing close, IGNITE  features three electrifying works from some of the most inventive voices in dance today. From the dreamlike elegance of Jessica Lang’s To Familiar Spaces in Dream  (Dallas premiere), to the heat and sensuality of Bruce Wood’s Zero Hour, to the genre-bending world premiere collaboration between Artistic Director/Resident Choreographer Joy Bollinger, world renowned gestural expressionist JM Rizzi, and cutting-edge projection designer Courtney Ware, this high-voltage finale is a full-body experience that fuses movement, visual art, and raw creative force. 

Bruce Wood’s Zero Hour  is all slow burn and sharp edges. Set to the pulsing tango rhythms of Astor Piazzolla, this beloved work smolders with passion, seduction, and grounded physicality. It’s Wood at his most magnetic—visceral, refined, and unforgettable.

The evening begins with the award-winning solo "PODE SER," a solo about the difficulties of being oneself. " Pode ser " means " It could be " in Portuguese. Through the angry body of a dancer, the question of being and non-being, of being able to be, of wanting to be, of having to be, reaches us. A solo about all the roles we play, will play, and have played. And about those we could have been, perhaps.

With ‹Dark Matter›, Ballett Basel invites you to an entertaining, intense evening. Five miniatures provide a multifaceted insight into the unique world of Marco Goecke and condense over 25 years of his work into a compact, impressive experience. The format is compiled anew each season and brings together solos, duets and short ensemble works from over 100 works - choreographic gems that have been performed worldwide and can now be experienced up close on the small stage of Theater Basel. Danced by an ensemble that carries Goecke's works by the umbilical cord, as it were, and has long since internalised his unmistakable style. The intimate solo ‹Tué› sets three extraordinary women in a sensitive interplay to the music of French chansonnière Barbara. The suspenseful duet ‹Midnight Raga› unfolds in the deep blue of midnight and transports the listener to a mystical Indian night. With ‹Äffi›, a repertoire classic, Goecke's style suddenly became famous in 2005 - a solo that is still regarded today as the epitome of his nervously vibrating style of movement. In ‹All Long Dem Day› and ‹Nachtmerrie›, true-to-life scenes about closeness, separation, change and hope are created to Nina Simone and Lady Gaga. Accompanied by works from a wide range of musical styles, this string of pearls of signature pieces spans an arc between darkness and light as well as drama and lyricism. In this way, the «dark matter» that makes Goecke's work so timeless and touching becomes tangible.

Eurydice is left behind. Often eclipsed by Orpheus's song, her tale is retold by Fran Díaz for the Leipzig Ballet. Eurydice is not a marginal figure, a muse, or a prisoner of a love for which she was destined. Instead, she is a woman in search of her way in a world that both shapes and denies her desires.

In William Shakespeare’s drama «Romeo and Juliet», the power of love allows two young people to transcend ordinary human limitations. Thanks to Sergei Prokofiev’s music, the star-crossed lovers of Verona have conquered the ballet stage. He brilliantly captured the clashing of love and hate and the juxtaposition of tenderness and violence in his colorful, passionate score.
