On Sunday, 6 June 2021, the European Cultural Channel ARTE will invite viewers to be part of a once-in-a-lifetime musical event of Europe-wide relevance: all nine Beethoven symphonies performed in chronological order – seven of them live – from venues of symbolic significance all over Europe.
Luxembourg city has the honour to side with cities like Dublin, Lugano, Strasbourg, Bonn, Vienna, Helsinki, Prag. “Beethoven’s Dance” combines dance and music under the artistic direction of Sylvia Camarda. The Orchestre Philharmonique du Luxembourg, conducted by Gustavo Gimeno will be performing Beethoven’s 4th symphony. Simultaneously 10 dancers will be performing live under the direction of and with choreographer Sylvia Camarda in an open air journey, that leads them from the terrace of the Philharmonie along the fortress walls to the “Dräi Eechelen” parc.
These dancers are non-professional dancers with a migration background, that have been participating in a Creativity Lab with the Fondation EME.
Manufactura Pictures is honoured to be the executive producer of this project that has been a huge artistic, technical and logistic challenge and a great European collaboration between France, Germany, the Netherlands and Luxembourg. Directed by Stefan Mathieu (Kobalt).
