Details

The air is the carrier for the ephemeral: music. The flesh is carrier for the physical: Dance. Both are transient, both are subject to time. Is there something timeless in the structures of Mozart's dances, which are now 230 years old, that still moves us today? In this transdisciplinary cooperation, contemporary forms of music and choreography meet. A space of experience is created in which timeless encounters take place, archetypal sound forms collide and unexpected lines of connection between music and dance culture of the past and present are explored.
