Le Grand Pas de Deux


Choreography by Christian Spuck
Music by Gioacchino Rossini (Overture from The Thieving Magpie)
Costumes by Nicole Krahl
Lighting by Martin Gebhardt

Le Grand Pas de Deux is a witty and playful parody of classical ballet’s grand pas de deux tradition. With exaggerated poses, humorous timing, and cheeky interactions, the piece turns ballet’s formal conventions on their head. It is a clever and lighthearted celebration of technique and theatricality, full of charm and unexpected surprises.
