Is movement dance or dance movement? Siblings Imre and Marne van Opstal see themselves not only as choreographers in the classical sense but also as movement directors. Their multi-layered and often surreal approach to dance is hugely popular around the world. Collaborating for the first time with the Semperoper Ballett, the creative duo are providing the company with a brand-new work.

Similar to their exploration of the limits and possibilities of mind and body, Sidi Larbi Cherkaoui’s „Noetic“ examines our instinctive human need to create structure, tied to the desire to break free of the rules. This beautiful work, featuring a mix of emotional and harmonious music, Japanese drums and a vocal soloist, invites us to probe the great questions of humanity with cool clarity.
