"The theme of the deadly sins has fascinated me ever since I saw the superb David Fincherthriller Seven in the cinema in 1995. What a journey into the heart of darkness! I remembered the film when I started planning this production. I have had very good experiences with mottos for our programmes. They open up a great space for associations, for the artistic team as well as for audiences. The important thing is that they also allow a lot of freedom. And you can be dead sure: That‘s what The Seven Sins will do.
Each of the seven works explores a strong, almost overwhelming emotion. A prime opportunity for the company to show all its virtuosity and expressive power. Also, dramaturgically speaking, the number seven calls for short pieces, which brings a great dynamic to the evening. And of course, The Seven Sins gave me the opportunity to bring seven choreographers on board."
