The program maker does not appear. Marco Goecke, head of the Hanover State Ballet who was fired in February after a dog excrement attack on a dance critic, stayed away from rehearsals and the premiere of “Spheres 0.1.

Laurent Hilaire was of course also aware that the choreographer had maneuvered himself temporarily offside with the toxic faecal misstep and first had to do a penalty loop away from the limelight. Nevertheless, the director of the Bavarian State Ballet and his colleague Ivan Liška, whose junior company is part of the evening party, did not hesitate: They stuck to the plan to employ Goecke as curator for a format that would bring representatives of the generation of choreographers around 40.
