Mahler, live
Ballet
Hans van Manen’s video ballet Live is an icon of dance history: an intimate exploration of mechanisms of perception for a ballerina, a danseur noble, a cameraman and a pianist. Martin Schläpfer, on the other hand, was inspired by Gustav Mahler’s 4th Symphony to create a great dance world theatre about the desires and forlornness, dreams, and distortions of the modern human being.
