BANGALORE: The Goethe-Institut/Max Mueller Bhavan and Ranga Shankara are presenting a powerful, provocative and electrifying dance-theatre performance by the Ben J Riepe Kompanie from Düsseldorf, Germany.

The Düsseldorf-based choreographer Ben J Riepe’s latest work is based on the five-part performance series Practise seeing beauty — Love, Death and the Devil that he created with his company in 2008.

This production starts off where the performance series with its different formats (installation, stage pieces, outdoor-performance) new techniques and means of artistic expression left off. The production is characterised by a synthesis of precise choreographic management of time, movement, space and context on the one hand, and the individual improvisational creativity of all involved artists on the other. And by a delight in powerful images and baroque costumes.

Aesthetic and macabre scenarios emerge from within the depths of the play creating that the audience can enjoy like a glamorous and puzzling parade of pictures.

The performance is on November 29, 2009 at 7.30 pm. Tickets are priced at Rs 200. For more information call 25205305/6/7/8 or log on to www.
