Description
Cacti / Tyll – Ballet evening in two parts
The world-renowned Swedish choreographer Alexander Ekman is a phenomenon in today’s dance world: an exceptionally witty, energetic and engaging creator whose works combine dynamic rhythm, a striking visual language, and the ability to turn the art of dance upside down.
The hugely successful production Cacti (2010) is a brilliantly witty and sharp parody of contemporary dance and dance criticism. It makes audiences laugh while also asking why we feel so compelled to “understand” art in the “correct” way. The work premiered in the Netherlands in 2010.
If Cacti turns contemporary dance upside down, then Tyll (2012) takes on the traditions of classical ballet. “Tyll” means “tulle” in Swedish, and this production is brimming with tulle, pointe shoes, and the aesthetics of classical ballet. With playful irreverence, Ekman asks the audience: what is ballet? Where does it come from and why do we take it all so seriously?
Premiere: April 2, 2027 – Grand Building of Vanemuine Theatre
