| Stadsschouwburg, Amsterdam, Amsterdam, Netherlands Monday 10-Jun-13 08:30pm Following the tremendous success of Nya (Holland Festival 2011) the French-Algerian choreographer Abou Lagraa returns with El Djoudour. In his latest work, Lagraa shares his view on the essence of Islamic culture – how the traditions, practices and rituals are rooted in the core values of Islam: generosity and brotherhood. He was inspired by the eastern rituals concerning the three elements of purity, origin and spirituality. Through dance he examines the scope of freedom of the individual physical body within culturally diverse societies.Co-production between: Grand Théâtre de Provence – Marseille Provence 2013 / Capitale Européenne de la Culture, Les Gémeaux/Sceaux/Scène Nationale, Théâtre National de Chaillot, Holland Festival, La Coursive, Scène nationale de La Rochelle, Le Théâtre, Scène Nationale de Narbonne.

| Sadler's Wells, London, Rosebery Avenue,, London EC1R 4TN, United Kingdom Tuesday 11-Jun-13 07:30pm Akram Khan Company — DESH Akram Khan’s full-length contemporary solo DESH made its world premiere in 2011 to unanimous critical praise and has since enjoyed a triumphant return run at Sadler’s Wells. His most personal work to date, DESH has been declared “a masterpiece” (The Observer) and won an Olivier Award for Best New Dance Production. Meaning “homeland” in Bengali, DESH draws on multiple tales of land, nation and resistance, all converging in the body and voice of one man trying to find his balance in an unstable world. Moving between Britain and Bangladesh, Khan weaves threads of memory, experience and myth into a surreal world of surprising connection. In a collaboration of extraordinary proportions, Khan joined forces with visual artist Tim Yip (production designer for Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon), award-winning lighting designer Michael Hulls, writer and poet Karthika Nair, Olivier Award-winning composer Jocelyn Pook and slam poet PolarBear. | ||

| Sadler's Wells: Peacock Theatre, London, Portugal Street, Holborn, London WC2 2HT, United Kingdom Tuesday 11-Jun-13 07:30pm ZooNation Dance Company — Some Like It Hip Hop ZooNation’s Some Like It Hip Hop has been a runaway success since it hit the Peacock Theatre in 2011, wowing audiences and prompting widespread critical praise with five-star reviews and standing ovations. After a second successful run and celebrating the company’s tenth anniversary at Sadler’s Wells last year, Some Like It Hip Hop returns to the Peacock Theatre to kick-start the summer. Fast becoming a modern classic, Some Like It Hip Hop unites truly sensational dancing and a typically clever and engrossing storyline with infectious “wit, heart and magnificent energy” (The Independent). With a nod to Billy Wilder’s Some Like It Hot and Shakespeare’s Twelfth Night, it tells a comical tale of love, mistaken identity, cross-dressing and revolution, all played out in ZooNation’s trademark style of hip hop, comedy and physical theatre. Directed by Sadler’s Wells Associate Artist Kate Prince, Some Like It Hip Hop also features a ground-shaking original soundtrack, live singing and some of the UK’s top hip hop dance talent. | ||

Bavarian State Ballet |
 | ||
| National Theatre, Munich, Munich, Germany Friday 14-Jun-13 07:00pm Illusions - like Swan Lake Music by Tchaikovsky, Pyotr Ilyich (1840-1893) Choreography by John Neumeier …Silence. An empty room in a gloomy castle. Scattered throughout the room, concealed sculptures fill the empty space. Shown in by reverent guards, a man stares into nowhere. The gate slams shut behind him. Gradually, the king begins to grasp – imprisoned and deprived of power – his situation, his surroundings. In an introverted gesture, he places his hand on his heart… the music meets his lament with the first notes of Swan Lake...
The premiere of llusions – Like Swan Lake was a celebrated success of the Ballet Festival Week of 2011. Finally, John Neumeier’s ballet about the fairy tale king had been brought to its original setting.
Illusions is a Royal thriller with traditional folklore dancing, complete with a good dose of local Bavarian color. The ever-present reference to one of the greatest works in ballet history becomes most apparent in the second act, where Lew Iwanow’s original choreography is integrated: “The reconstruction of a golden hour of St. Petersburg ballet history, elaborate stage design magic supported by the captivating musical score. Most of all, it is a ballet drama that touches us right at the core because of its soulful, vivid characters, instead of showcasing lifeless swans and princes.”Image credit: Charles Tandy | ||

| Sadler's Wells: Peacock Theatre, London, Portugal Street, Holborn, London WC2 2HT, United Kingdom Sunday 16-Jun-13 04:00pm ZooNation Dance Company — Some Like It Hip Hop ZooNation’s Some Like It Hip Hop has been a runaway success since it hit the Peacock Theatre in 2011, wowing audiences and prompting widespread critical praise with five-star reviews and standing ovations. After a second successful run and celebrating the company’s tenth anniversary at Sadler’s Wells last year, Some Like It Hip Hop returns to the Peacock Theatre to kick-start the summer. Fast becoming a modern classic, Some Like It Hip Hop unites truly sensational dancing and a typically clever and engrossing storyline with infectious “wit, heart and magnificent energy” (The Independent). With a nod to Billy Wilder’s Some Like It Hot and Shakespeare’s Twelfth Night, it tells a comical tale of love, mistaken identity, cross-dressing and revolution, all played out in ZooNation’s trademark style of hip hop, comedy and physical theatre. Directed by Sadler’s Wells Associate Artist Kate Prince, Some Like It Hip Hop also features a ground-shaking original soundtrack, live singing and some of the UK’s top hip hop dance talent. | ||

After the comedy by Georg Büchner
Music by Johann Strauss, Bernd Alois Zimmermann, Amilcare Ponchielli,
Alfred Schnittke and Martin Donner
Swiss première
Christian Spuck has long been fascinated by the works of the German playwright Georg Büchner, whose work stands between German Romanticism and the emerging Modern Age. Taking a coolly analytical view, the author performed autopsies of the human soul, as it were, and as the poet Durs Grünbein put it, “registered the fissures that pass through the individual at an early stage, and certainly not coldly.” From 1836, Georg Büchner lectured in medicine in Zurich, and died here at the age of only 23. Christian Spuck created the full-length narrative ballet Leonce and Lena for the Aalto Ballet Essen in 2008. Zurich Ballet will now perform the piece for the first time in Switzerland – only a few weeks before Büchner’s 200th birthday.
The royal children Leonce and Lena have been betrothed without knowing one another. Both decide to escape the wedding. Leonce, who is tormented by boredom, intends to go to Italy with his companion Valerio and live there in indolence; Lena is persuaded to escape by her governess. The two encounter one another en route – and fall in love. Ignorant of one another’s identity, they appear masked at the court of Leonce’s father and are married.
Christian Spuck transforms Büchner’s subtly sarcastic comedy into a high-spirited, fast-paced and imaginative farce of automata, at the same time providing the danced caricature of the small German state. The airy, at times grotesque pieces of the king of waltz, Johann Strauss, inspire the tragicomic story and underline its burlesque elements, as do the modern sounds of Alfred Schnittke and Bernd Alois Zimmermann. | ||

His radical choreographies are rooted in the explosive physicality of hip hop. In his work, Beltrão brilliantly abstracts everyday reality using a very contemporary language of dance. The prominent dance magazine Ballettanz voted Beltrão ‘rising star choreographer of the year’.Running time 1 hour 30 minutes, no interval.

| Opernhaus: Studiobühne, Zürich, Falkenstrasse 1, Zürich 8008, Switzerland Wednesday 19-Jun-13 07:00pm Young Choreographers The “Young choreographers” series aims to identify and promote young talent at an early stage: Zurich Ballet’s talented young choreographers will be in the limelight once a season. Dancers from the ensemble interested in creating choreography are given the opportunity to present themselves as choreographers. They thus have the appealing task of discovering dance from another perspective and jointly presenting a mutually inspiring ballet evening. These young artists will rehearse their new creations with their dancing colleagues and will also be able to try their hands at stage and costume design. On five evenings, a fascinating variety of choreographic and theatrical ideas will be presented to audiences on the Studio stage, and it is possible that audiences may soon encounter any one of these names on the principal ballet stage. | ||
