LACUNA - new creation by Juliano Nunes

[Sabine0308]

As mentioned here before, Juliano Nunes is creating a new piece called "Lacuna", together with dancers Alina Cojocaru, Derek B Dunn, Shale Wagman, Daniel Camargo and Nayara Lopes. It will premiere in Switzerland at the Origen Festival Culturel next week and I wish I could go. I think this deserves en extra thread. What I see of this process on Instagram is just pure beauty. J. Nunes just posted "The Dying Swans", danced by Shale and Derek, what a masterpiece! I really teared up. I hope many of you can access it:

Oh that sounds inviting Sabine!  Sadly I can't go though.

 

I loved his creation for Birmingham Royal Ballet - Interlinked - which the company premiered in June.

Wish I could go! But maybe a forum member can post later their impressions.😉

The Julierturm red tower will be dismantled at the end of August next year as these kinds of temporary installations only have a permit for 5 years. The good news is, there will be one more season!

 

The project that will in all likelihood succeed it is "The White Tower", a cutting-edge 3D-printed concrete structure which is still being developed together with ETH University of Zurich. Nothing is finalised yet as there are still some issues.

The audience capacity in this tower will be much smaller, seating only 40 or so. More info:  http://www.origen.ch/Der-Weisse-Turm.2028.0.html?&L=4
