Presentation
MOZART. Beyond the legend of the quasi-divine genius stands a man whose life was extinguished by his relentless devotion to composition. Amadé explores the brevity of an existence ruled by four distinct muses—labor, illness, anxiety, and creation—spanning the thirty years between the child prodigy paraded by his father like a prize possession and the isolated, melancholic composer who expended his final energies crafting a prophetic requiem, left unfinished on a winter’s night. Gangflow unravels the time and space of his ultimate feverish evening on earth, summoning the spirits that inhabited the young master’s dying thoughts: the three elder Weber sisters, forever entwined with his career and intimate world, alongside Music itself—a calling as tragic as it was transcendent.
The Dancing in the 21st Century series invites the young vanguard of emerging choreography to examine the legacy left by the great composers in music history. Rising from the ranks of the OnR Ballet, Rubén Julliard and Marwik Schmitt tackle the life and works of Mozart with their pieces Amadé and Gangflow, originally performed in December 2020 to a virtual audience. Through a performance conceived as a unified whole, the two young choreographers juxtapose their artistic worlds and perspectives to reveal together the fragments of a singular life, during which the name Wolfgang Amadeus was extinguished so the name Mozart could live on forever.
