The young Dutch choreographer Nanine Linning makes international furore. In Germany, where she presently directs her own company in Osnabrück, her work is packing auditoriums and her creations are almost always followed with standing ovations. Linning distinguishes herself primarily through her multi-disciplinary approach, as also seen here in Requiem, her latest production to be received in Germany with laudatory reviews.

The performance begins on stage as a series of poses plastiques; the audience is led among the most wonderful living sculptures by a choir singing a capella. In the second part the statues come to life in a three-dimensional, effervescent choreographic concert, inspired by Gabriel Faure's requiem, performed live.
