No Christmas season without “Swan Lake” or “Nutcracker”. And if the Sugar Plum Fairy, Mouse King & Co. seem too sweet for you, it won’t just be about fleeting desire, ultimate love and lives gone awry at the Staatsballett. A look at the dance calendar for the coming weeks.
No matter how you twist and turn it, the dance has a lot to do with centrifugal force and other physical phenomena. And yet, with pirouettes, jumps and all sorts of twists, dancing bodies always seem to victoriously defy these laws, in classical ballet as well as in contemporary dance. And that is precisely what makes this art of movement so fascinating. There will be a lot of this to marvel at in Munich’s theaters and cultural centers in the coming weeks.
