Has your life changed since you became Ballet Director and had to be responsible for your own ensemble? Only the Viennese can make them (and the French, of course).
I’m so looking forward to visiting Café Demel and all those wonderful delicacies. So at night before going to sleep I always tell him that we’re going to Vienna together. Now my dog Gustav is getting quite old and is often unwell. I was just beginning at the time and remember very clearly sitting in the canteen at the Burgtheater waiting for her. The plan was for me to do the choreography for her production of »The Bartered Bride« in Stuttgart.
Marco Goecke I was very pleased! My only encounter with this city was a very long time ago and rather special: in 2003 Klaus Zehelein sent me to Vienna to meet Andrea Breth. What was your first reaction when Martin Schläpfer asked you to do this? Now you are about to make your debut in Vienna with a world premiere for the Vienna State Ballet. Your works are danced by companies around the world. Marco Goecke in conversation with Anne do Paço Life in its absurdity, its beauty and its sadness Petersburg School and skilful interplay of soli, pas de deux and large groups culminating in a splendid finale. George Balanchine’s »Symphony in C« is a gorgeous homage to classical ballet – a beautiful evocation of the spirit of the White Acts of the St. It had been revealed to him by his great love and future wife Alma Schindler, to whom he also dedicated the Adagietto that has now inspired Marco Goecke to create a new piece ✿ly Paper Bird« for the Vienna State Ballet. Gustav Mahler was »in seventh heaven« while he was working on his 5 th Symphony. The 2006 piece can now be seen in Vienna in a new version, for which Martin Schläpfer has been able to win Susanne Bisovsky as a partner – an artist whose experimental, »Tracht«-inspired works probe the boundaries between traditional and the avantgarde in a most congenial manner.
Martin Schläpfer’s ballet »Marsch, Walzer, Polka« to music by the Strauß family is a ravishing homage to waltz dreams and dance ecstasy, but also a humorous, grotesque look at depth psychology and power fantasies.
