Les Oiseaux

21.–23.8.

English with German translation

Age recommendation: 6 years

Duration 1 h 00 min

Les Oiseaux by Lenio Kaklea invites audiences to see the world from a bird’s perspective. Through seven hybrid figures and a soundscape of birdsong, the piece explores the close relationship between nature and society and the fragility of our ecosystem.

The fascination with birds in the western history of dance dates back to the first romantic ballets. But what would a choreography look like that doesn't consider birds as an object of study, but attempts to see the world from their point of view? Driven by this question, choreographer Lenio Kaklea creates a fantastic cosmos, in which seven hybrid creatures engage in a dance of competition and play, accompanied by live-shot images of a flying object and a hypnotic soundscape of birdsongs. “Les Oiseaux” is a fable about the fragility of our ecosystem, in which the boundaries between nature and society become increasingly permeable.
