Innovative, varied, relevant: In the spring premiere, Goyo Montero combines a debut of the award-winning Australian choreographer Stephanie Lake with the electrifying dance piece “Lux Tenebris”, created in 2016 by Rafael Bonachela for his Sydney Dance Company to a musical mix of different styles by composer Nick Wales. The choreographic vocabulary of Stephanie Lake, who manages her own company in Sydney, demands from the dancers a certain level of courage and desire for new combinations of rhythm and virtuosity. The renowned artist is now devising custom choreography for the Nuremberg ensemble.

The three-part ballet event will also include Montero’s hypnotic work “Tilt”, created in 2023 for the Staatsballett Hannover. It is a study of the act of tilting itself, which can cause gambling addicts to make careless risks. Owen Belton was commissioned to revise the work for the Nuremberg company.
