Deutsches Theater München organizes in cooperation with the Cultural Department of the City of Munich
Temptation, pleasure, transience
It is a ritual of the senses, of love and eroticism when the Israeli Kamea Dance Company expresses temptation, pleasure and transience in abstract dance to the impressive music of Carl Orff’s CARMINA BURANA. For the first time, choreographer Tamir Ginz presents his modern interpretation of the medieval material in Munich. The production is sponsored by the Bavarian State Ministry of Science and the Arts, the Israeli Consulate General and the Cultural Department of the City of Munich.
Carl Orff in abstract dance
O Fortuna, Velut Luna, Statu variabilis… Carl Orff’s setting of a collection of song texts from the 11th and 12th centuries is one of the best-known classical cantatas today. It deals with the vicissitudes of happiness and the temptations of life.
In this modern interpretation by Israeli choreographer Tamir Ginz, 14 dancers from the Kamea Dance Company embody these themes in abstract dance. They celebrate youth, longing and the beauty of physical movement in a lively and wild masquerade.
The Kamea Dance Company
The Kamea Dance Company is based in the Israeli city of Beer Sheva. Under the direction of Tamir Ginz, it has been thrilling audiences on stages around the world with extraordinary dance productions for over 20 years. She is also involved in educational projects to introduce young people to culture.
The company first performed CARMINA BURANA in Cyprus in 2007. The dance theater met with an enthusiastic response and was soon performed worldwide. Tamir Ginz has reworked the piece for the performances in Munich. You can look forward to exciting extravagance, new costumes and mesmerizing lighting effects.
