Workshop «Winterreise»

Contemporary interpretations of Schubert's song cycle

Christian Spuck's choreographic examination of the song cycle Die Winterreise by Franz Schubert in the new interpretation of the contemporary composer Hans Zender is the starting point of this workshop series. We will deepen Spuck's conversion of Die Winterreise into choreographic images and Zender's «composed interpretation» of Die Winterreise in several workshop sessions. At the same time, Swiss choreographer Cosima Grand is working with composer Romain Mercier on a new solo on the same theme at Tanzhaus Zürich. We will also take a closer look at this new interpretation of Die Winterreise. Visits to the Opera House and the Tanzhaus during both Die Winterreise complete this series.
