Dialog 09
March 2009, in company with seventy dancers, musicians and singers, Sasha Waltz explored the empty rooms of the Neues Museum on the Museum island Berlin. Following almost ten years of reconstruction under the supervision of David Chipperfield Architects the building stood at a one-off point in its metamorphosis. Subsequent to the completion of the renovation and ahead of the Berlin State Museums of the being installed in the restored rooms, the location became the site for an unusual temporary »exhibition« which electrified more than ten thousand visitors.
„The way Sasha Waltz conducts the spectators through the labyrinth of history, how she incorporates the evanescence of myths into her nomadic choreography, and the manner in which she playfully alternates between the profane and holy, that is the taking occupancy of an inheritance as high art.
Sasha Walz has made the throw of a century here.“
