Since its founding in the 1950s, the Ballet Festival Weeks of the Bavarian State Ballet can proudly look back on any number of special highlights. And in 2010 this dazzling tradition continues with two important choreographic works.

The Festival will kick off with William Forsythe’s ballet “Artifact” with music from, among other composers, Bach (Apr. 25 and May 2). And the Tanztheater Wuppertal Pina Bausch will present 3 performances of “Masurca Fogo”, a production with a music mix of Portuguese fado, percussion, jazz and tango (Apr. 28, 29, 30).
