STAATSBALLETT BERLIN

A major event of the 2027-2028 season, the Staatsballett Berlin, one of the largest dance companies, finally comes to Paris!

From 14 to 16 January 2028, the Staatsballett Berlin presents an evening in two parts, bringing together SAABA by Sharon Eyal and Minus 16 by Ohad Naharin, two major figures of dance who suit the company perfectly. A modern, hypnotic and exhilarating programme.

With SAABA, Sharon Eyal creates a world of movement and rhythm that is as fascinating as it is mysterious. The pulses of Ori Lichtik's music blend with fragments of familiar melodies, creating a soundscape in constant transformation. The costumes, designed by Maria Grazia Chiuri, then artistic director of Dior, envelop the dancers in an ethereal fabric of lace and tears, both fragile and powerful. The choreographer's unique style exudes a singular hypnotic force and unfolds its full power against this expressive sonic backdrop.

In Minus 16, Ohad Naharin shares a celebration of life without restraint. This emblematic piece combines raw energy, humour and directed improvisation. A fiery, acrobatic and daring ballet, it demands total emotional openness from the dancers. Carried by eclectic music ranging from popular tunes to more introspective pieces, the work is embodied with force by a large ensemble of dancers. It has earned numerous standing ovations since its creation in 1999 by the Nederlands Dans Theater. Sometimes hilarious, absolutely captivating, Naharin's ballet is undeniably exhilarating. Its positive energy is contagious, and the contagion is intentional.

In Paris, the Staatsballett Berlin presents two pieces and one shared urgency to dance.
