The FireWorks Project
Inspired by the great tradition of Theaterhaus as a concert venue,
The Fireworks Project launches ten colorful dance rockets in the first part of the evening. The new creations are all based on musical works that represent the artistic identity of the hous
e with its illustrious jazz tradition. After all, in the early days of this Stuttgart venue of hearts, almost everything revolved around music. The legendary Theaterhaus Jazztage around Easter are still a testament to this today. Eric Gauthier tapped into this energy and approached ten star choreographers, some of whom had never, some very often, collaborated with Gauthier Dance before. His bait: a rich list of iconic pieces, all of which had already been performed live at Theaterhaus. The assignment: transform one of these works into dance. They all bit! And already during the rehearsal phase, it became clear what potential lies in this seemingly simple concept. Not only does the brevity of the selected works demand utmost concentration and intensity, but t
he outstanding musical quality of the originals also gives wings to the imagination of the choreographers.
