This international dance festival showcases works from fifteen countries that highlight current trends and developments in the international contemporary dance scene. In addition to cutting-edge European productions, the program features new work from African, Asian, North American, and Berlin artists.
This year's program is "framed" by new stagings of two works from the 1990's: Michèle Anne De Mey's Sinfonia Eroica, a choreography set to music by Beethoven.
