After the remarkable online success of the eponymous film during the Corona winter of 2021, laborgras and ensemble CONTINUUM are now bringing “DAS FEST” as a festive gathering to the stage: Baroque music and contemporary dance come together for one evening of exceptional acoustic and visual impressions.

The notion of DAS FEST, of festivity, implies a gathering of many different people who are welcomed into an atmosphere completely unlike their usual day-to-day. Festivity is also always staged. It has its own dynamics, dramaturgy and choreography. And it therefore requires space, time and co-presence. laborgras proposes DAS FEST as a meeting of baroque music and contemporary dance. Dancers and musicians are host to a new interpretation of the selected compositions, in the here and now. The festive music is translated into a choreographic concert and the audience is invited to an evening full of surprising impressions revealing a new bodily form of the early music.
