Rave-L Party

Concert

22.8.-24.8.2025

Maschinenhalle Zweckel

Ravel’s „Boléro“ as an immersive Techno experience.

The composer Maurice Ravel’s ideal venue for his superhit Boléro was a factory. For his 150th birthday, we will make his wish come true. In the Maschinenhalle at Zeche Zweckel in Gladbeck the French collective Les Apaches ! will put the “rave” into Ravel. Between new Ravel arrangements and a recently discovered Boléro Jazz from 1929, the famous piece, among other works by Ravel, is transformed from an orchestral work into a trance-like electro trip by composer Fabien Cali. Visually, 3D-projections of dancers merge with virtual backgrounds, inviting the public to join the dance party. A Live Set by French-Cameroonian DJ Tatyana Jane continues the celebration.

Produced by Nouvelle Sociéte des Apaches, co-produced by Théâtre du Châtelet and the Fondation Fiminco.
