Choreographies on the Julier Pass

11 July 2022

The dance season of the Nova Fundaziun Origen (Riom, Canton Graubünden) on the Julier Pass begins on 14 July. Luca-Andrea Tessarini will kick off this year’s series of new choreographies with his work “Venom”. One week later, French choreographer Sébastien Bertaud will show his “Laniakea”.

The Red Tower on the Julier Pass unites two great traditions of the dance world: the dancers of the Paris Opera stand for classical perfection and the Nederlands Dans Theater for contemporary avant-garde.

Tessarini explores the metaphorical meaning of poison, which clouds minds, deceives the senses, sows malice, destroys friendships, ignites wars – and sometimes, in the proper doses, can heal.

Performances from 14 to 17 July 2022, starting at 21:30.

French choreographer Sébastien Bertaud and the soloists of the Paris Opera devote themselves to the infinity of the universe, the complexity of being, the intoxication of the unfathomable and the cosmos as the source of life on earth.

Performances from 21 to 24 July 2022, starting at 21.30.
