In September, Sasha Waltz & Guests’ acclaimed choreography “In C” returns to Radialsystem. Accompanying the performance, Acid Pauli and four other outstanding internationally renowned musicians will perform Terry Riley’s composition of the same name live. Both performances take place as part of “20 Jahre Radialsystem”.

In 2021, the dance company Sasha Waltz & Guests began a colorful and innovative artistic process that results in the continuous production of new formats. Terry Riley’s “In C” (1964) forms the musical foundation of this, an open composition that was revolutionary at the time and is generally considered the first piece of minimalist music. Sasha Waltz and 10 dancers developed choreographic material that follows a similarly variable structure.

The choreography is a playful system of 53 choreographic figures for a structured improvisation with rules and laws. Within this set of rules, the individual performer is given creative freedom, but this must always be in relation to the group – very similar to our democratic society, in which the limits of personal freedom end where the group is not violated. The roles of leadership and followers are not fixed, each performer can switch roles at any time. “In C” is a democratic piece about being part of a group as an individual, not an individual in the group.
