Grey Zone / Old Land: Contemporary Dance that Touches the Soul

Two signatures, an intense evening: The Augsburg Ballet presents the two-part chamber ballet evening Grey Zone / Old Land at the brechtbühne in Gaswerk. Between dense stage poetry and pulsating movement flow, an event experience emerges that captivates the audience's mood and resonates long afterwards.

Dance in Two Worlds – Contrasts that Shine

Grey Zone by Spanish choreographer Antonio Ruz (Premio Nacional de Danza 2018) thinks of Gray as a space for nuances, dialogue, and empathy. Music, dance, and text coalesce into a sensual narrative about ambivalence and connection. Old Land by the duo Sasha Riva & Simone Repele opens up a vividly contrasting world: delicate gestures, cinematic tableaux, precise targeting of dance enthusiasts and curious newcomers – an evening that makes modern dance art approachable.

Atmosphere: Close, Intense, Focused

The brechtbühne in Gaswerk creates an immediate event atmosphere with its compact seating and clear space organization. The organization team of the State Theatre ensures smooth event planning – short routes, good visibility, focused lighting design. This creates an event experience that sharpens the senses: the creaking of the stage floor, the play of shadows and costume textures, the collective exhale after a held silence.

Expertise on Stage

Antonio Ruz stands internationally for interdisciplinary signature and excellent dramaturgy. Riva & Repele combine dance virtuosity with poetic imagery and international guest performance practice. Press reports classify the evening as a strong start to the ballet season – with premiere energy and an expanded version of Old Land.

Service for a Relaxed Evening

Arriving is easy via public transport or with the free taxi shuttle from Augsburg municipal services from Oberhausen train station on performance days. Across from the venue, there is a parking garage (approx. 350 spaces), barrier-free paths and restrooms are designated in the Gaswerk area. The organization on-site follows established event management procedures.

Voices of the Fans
