'8' 

4 Voices. 1 Vision. 8 Stories. 1 Desire

'8' is the first production by Cie. La Ronde. A full-evening dance work fusing an international quartet of choreographers, Cathy Marston, Ihsan Rustem, Caroline Finn and Luca Signoretti, who will together reimagine the way in which stories are told.

All ‘at home’ in Switzerland, they come together to create a modern-day adaptation of Arthur Schnitzler’s controversial 1920 play Reigen (La Ronde). The four unique signatures tell eight stories, all of which are linked together to form a whole.

Reigen, still considered Schnitzler’s masterpiece, is known for its provocative commentary, questioning sexual morality by describing successive encounters through a chain of couples.

In '8', Cie. La Ronde focuses on the motivations, desires and needs of the various characters. The choreographers are interested in the idea of transmission, be it the literal passing of an object or movement motif, or a metaphorical transferal of emotional experiences. They are reconceiving Schnitzler's work from a contemporary perspective, creating a thought-provoking, sensual, poetic and humorous evening of dance.
