UPCOMING PROJECT
RAMBERT x (LA)HORDE: BRING YOUR OWN
Committed to exploring new bold choreography, Rambert has invited (LA)HORDE to bring to life this explosive programme which includes a brand new piece being created with the UK company. This epic collaboration is also the first time the trend-setting French collective (LA)HORDE stages two of their repertoire pieces, Weather is Sweet and Room with a View, on another dance company than their own Ballet Natonal de Marseille.
Drenched in neon lights and inspired by the LA club scene, Weather is Sweet catapults us into some of our times’ most pressing questions over intimacy, consent and sex-posivity. Visceral and punchy, Room with a View forces us to look in the mirror and ask – what do I care about?
Grity and sensual, Bring Your Own is the perfect opportunity to experience the French collective’s epic style under the lens of Rambert’s world-class dancers, and will premiere at London’s Southbank Centre 7 – 10 May 2025, before performances at The Lowry in Salford 16 – 18 September 2025, and Truro’s Hall for Cornwall 31st October – 1st November 2025.
Mathilde Monnier / Dance On Ensemble & Judit Varga (FR/DE & AT/HU) MUSIQUE – In the Spirit of Johann Strauss
The Missing Step
In a very personal research project, French choreographer Mathilde Monnier and the Dance On Ensemble, founded in Berlin with exceptional dancers over 40 years of age, dedicate themselves to the era of Johann Strauss. Fascinated by the times of the great Viennese balls, which echoes in us through Johann Strauss’ music, they bring its intensity back to life without any nostalgia. Fragments of well-known melodies, the rustle of elegant gowns and dancing silhouettes create a fleeting, ghostly universe, a shadowy realm of the sensuality and atmosphere of the time. Judit Varga composes music inspired by Johann Strauss’ pieces, their timbres and atmosphere. However, we do not hear the waltzes as they are usually played by a large orchestra. Instead, Strauss’ piano versions of his orchestral works serve as the basis – like images of distant dreams that evoke the composer’s spirit in sound. A Disklavier, a “self-playing piano”, reinforces the impression that not only the sound, but also Strauss’ spirit dwells among the dancing shadows – and is congenially accompanied on a second grand piano on stage by composer Judit Varga herself.
