À la carte

Have you ever wanted to devise an evening of dance? À la carte is made up of longer and shorter scenes with no predetermined order. In conversation with the audience, the dancers make on-the-spot choices of props, music and a variety of dance styles, as if a varied menu is being cooked together. In this way, every evening brings a unique experience for both audience and dancers. With the Greek choreographer and dancer Ioannis Mandafounis as its new artistic director, the Dresden Frankfurt Dance Company presents a fresh look at choreography as a democratic process. Above all: movement as an interpretation of personal feelings. The truer the emotion, the more direct the contact with the audience. À la carte shows the result of this approach in optimal form.
