This mixed repertory evening is the second of a series titled RESPONSE, the Stuttgart Ballet’s answer to how we create dance during these challenging times. RESPONSE II carries the subtitle “Young Bloods” and features works by five young up and coming artists from within the company commissioned by Stuttgart Ballet Artistic Director Tamas Detrich. Vittoria Girelli, Aurora de Mori, Agnes Su, Shaked Heller and Alessandro Giaquinto have each created a short piece for a limited number of dancers - in order to ensure distancing and facilitate the rehearsal process. In terms of content, the choreographers have used these pieces to reflect on what they have experienced during the current crisis: isolation, frustration, deceleration, reflection, soul-searching, the longing for human contact and hope for a better future.

Projected performances: February 2021, Play House.
