Marco Goecke becomes ballet director at Theater Basel: “I have learned from it” – Culture

Marco Goecke will take over as ballet director at Theater Basel from summer 2025. The theater confirmed this at a press conference on Wednesday. For the choreographer it is a second chance, for the company it is a daring maneuver: Goecke had to resign as director of the Hanover State Ballet in February 2023 after he attacked a dance critic with dog feces. The proceedings were discontinued upon payment of a fine. Goecke still seems shaken at the press conference, which was also streamed live. He has lost several kilos and keeps hiding behind his sunglasses during appointments.
