Ritual

A ritual brings together a spiritual experience with a performance. Heaven touches earth.

Shaw Coleman's dance production 'Ritual' follows the clear structure of a liturgical Mass and uses music from Arvo Pärt. Four dancers express their internally experienced spirituality through the ritual of dance.

The production had its premiere in October 2022 in the newly built dance room in Kastanienallee 71. In March 2023, “Ritual” was on tour in Munich and Naumburg and was performed again in Berlin. In November 2023, the dance piece was on tour in Leipzig and in September 2024 in Siegen.
