We are presenting a groundbreaking classic to mark the opening: Mourad Merzouki and the K\u00e4fig company are bringing the legendary production \u201cPixel\u201d back to the D\u00fcsseldorf Festival, a show that has been thrilling audiences around the world since its world premiere in 2014. Merzouki\u2019s fast-paced blend of urban dance and contemporary dance is inspired by street hip-hop culture. \u201cPixel\u201d unfolds within the three-dimensional virtual landscape of an interactive video installation by digital artists Adrien Mondot and Claire Bardainne: as in a nightmare, giant waves surge upwards; the dancers contort rising streams of pixels with acrobatic resistance and dance dreamily amidst the clouds. Absurd, spectacular and poetic. <\/p>\n
Mourad Merzouki: \u201cThe \u2018Pixel\u2019 project came about when I first met Adrien Mondot and Claire Bardainne. It was as if I were unable to distinguish between the real and the virtual world\u2026 . With curiosity and an open mind, I approach this new adventure into an incomprehensible world created by light projection.\u201d
\nAnd the Jerusalem Post writes: \u201cThe choreographer is a master of fusion. No one has managed to marry the screen and the moving body so perfectly.\u201d<\/p>\n
