On 11 March 2023, Sasha Waltz & Guests perform the world premiere of “Beethoven 7” at Radialsystem. This two-part event features choreography by Sasha Waltz to the music of Ludwig van Beethoven’s 7th symphony as well as that of a commissioned piece by contemporary composer Diego Noguera.

In “Beethoven 7”, Sasha Waltz and her 13-person ensemble use the entirety of “Symphony No. 7 in A Major (Op. 92)”.  Diego Noguera’s "Freiheit/Extasis" (“Freedom/Extasis”) comprise electronic sounds that emerge during the process of creation. The choreographer weaves threads and thoughts that play a role in Beethoven's 7th Symphony and continue to do so in the 21st century, as she searches for a current answer to the composer's pressing questions.

In June 2021, Sasha Waltz had already developed a choreography to two movements of Ludwig van Beethoven's 7th symphony at the site of the ancient temple of Delphi as part of the European cultural channel ARTE’s Beethoven Day, "Through Europe with Beethoven". She has not let go of the music ever since.

In 1812, Beethoven wrote the following question in his diary: “[I]s the real, true human being a slave to their surroundings, or are they free?” He sees, disheartened, the political idea of freedom fail between the French Revolution and European Restoration. At the same time, his work is a formative expression of an aesthetic idea of artistic freedom.

Biographien

Sasha Waltz is a choreographer, dancer and director. She studied dance and choreography in Amsterdam and New York. Together with Jochen Sandig she founded the company Sasha Waltz & Guests in 1993 and is cofounder of the Sophiensæle (1996) and the Radialsystem (2006). From 2000-2004 she was a member of the artistic direction of the Schaubühne am Lehniner Platz and in the season 2019/20 she was director of the Berlin State Ballet together with Johannes Öhman. In her current choreographic work Waltz focuses on the condensation of collaborative processes, such as the synchronous development of choreography and music (e.g. „Kreatur“, 2017). In 2021 Sasha Waltz was awarded the French cultural order „Commandeur de l'ordre des Arts et des Lettres“.
