The title ›BoD‹ refers to the programmatic character of Richard Siegal’s first work for his Ballet of Difference company, founded in Munich in 2006, which unites dancers and artists in all their heterogeneity and diversity.

To the rhythms of DJ Haram, a musician with Lebanese roots living in the USA, who mixes various contemporary club aesthetics with experimental sounds and Arab musical traditions, the dancers rotate through the space and by means of inflatable costumes created by New York fashion designer Becca McCharen constantly transform themselves into new physical shapes. Exploring the dancers’ personalities and considering their respective biographies, Richard Siegal combines physical forms of expression from diverse ethnical traditions and aesthetic socializations to create an electrifying amalgam expressing a culturally rich and intrinsically diverse contemporary world.

The two-part evening opens with Richard Siegal’s latest creation ›Ballet 2.018‹.
