Balletintendant Tamas Detrich is enthusiastic about the connection of the pieces to Gustav Mahler's music and sees the "absolutely right moment" in the performance of "traces" - Cranko's masterpiece. "The premiere of this piece over 50 years ago met with hard rejection, today it is more current than ever," explains Detrich, who has had his first experience with these choreographies as a dancer. It pays importance and respect for John Cranko's heir, whose spirit is still noticeable, especially in the training of the company. Detrich says: "I would fall on my knees and say: Thank you, John!" href = "https://www.esslinger-zeitung.de/inthalt.ballettenttant-tamas-detrich-in-studio-ist-ster-crankos-praesent.2a7c48e7-f62d-a98c-68c359dbf88e.html"> Esslinger Zeitung reported.

The event is not only a tribute to the past, but also an encouragement to reflect on the meaning of ballet today. The spectators are not only in front of the stage, but also in direct exchange with legends like Marcia Haydée and Detrich themselves, which will refer to the origin and meaning of the works. Information about the tickets for the dress rehearsal are also available, and it is recommended to register quickly because the capacity is limited.
