Behind the Light

Cristiana Morganti

2022

Cristiana Morganti's new show is an ironic and light catharsis of a choreographer and dancer, the overcoming of an existential and artistic crisis

Contemporary dance
International recognition
New creation

Cristiana Morganti, veteran dancer of Pina Bausch’s Tanztheater Wuppertal, presents the ironic and light catharsis of a creator and her existential and artistic crisis. A cry danced with humour and poetry in the face of growing surprise at a world and profession that is increasingly alien to her.
