Sehnsucht

In season 2008-2009, the surprising ballet Sehnsucht by choreographer duo Paul Lightfoot and Sol León premiered. Sehnsucht, which cannot be translated but means as much as ‘homesickness’ or ‘strong desire’, starts in a revolving lounge with a charming, magical duet that keeps surprising. The touching music makes you feel melancholic. Eventually, Beethoven’s music erupts, culminating in a bombastic group dance on the stage.
