Louise Lecavalier (Canada)
Louise Lecavalier is the exceptional woman of contemporary dance with her boundary-breaking energy! For years she was the electrifying front woman of La La La Human Steps, now the Canadian dance icon comes to the Staatstheater with her own choreography. The Grande Dame has lost none of her elusive energy, showcasing her highly idiosyncratic style somewhere between ballet and urban guerrilla. Inspired by The Knight Who Didn't Exist (a novel character by Italo Calvino), she searches for identity and ideals in a pulsating, driven solo, embarking on the surreal journey of two lost people with her comrade-in-arms and fellow dancer. On a cleverly lit, minimalist stage, Lecavalier energizes everything with her nervous elegance. "Lecavalier is a true star, one of those rare artists who can grab both the heart and soul of her audience." The Dance Current, Canada
